05/13/25 | [dcraley]Gaupa Reveal New Single "Ten of Twelve"
Swedish heavy rockers GAUPA have dropped "Ten of Twelve," first single from their forthcoming new album Fyr. The release is scheduled for July 4th and will be the band's debut with Magnetic Eye Records.
"The rooster is the tenth animal in the Chinese zodiac and that's also the meaning of the title," vocalist Emma Näslund reveals. "It's usually connected with perseverance, being on time and alert. The rooster often suggests prosperity and luck in different cultures. I read that somewhere back in the day people thought it was lucky to bring a rooster into the kitchen. I thought that it was a bit fun to play with the idea of a chaotic and unlucky rooster. Someone who just messes things up."
Bassist Erik Jerka Sävström adds, "Initially, I wanted a medieval sounding riff, being inspired by our compatriots Hällas", the bass player writes. "When the riff emerged, I truly tried to give it that dreamy Hällas sound, but then I started to play with the changing pattern and it turned out even more complex than originally intended."
