Global Warning (Turmion Kätilöt album)

Global Warning is the ninth studio album by the Finnish industrial metal band Turmion Kätilöt. It was released on March 17, 2023, by Nuclear Blast Records.

The album explores themes of environmental degradation, societal collapse, and technological dystopia, consistent with the band's provocative and often satirical lyrical style. The title "Global Warning" is a deliberate misspelling of "Global Warming," likely employed for stylistic effect and to reinforce the album's thematic focus on ecological catastrophe.

Musically, Global Warning maintains Turmion Kätilöt's established sound, characterized by heavy industrial rhythms, aggressive vocals (primarily in Finnish), and electronic elements. The album incorporates elements of metal, techno, and industrial music, resulting in a high-energy and often abrasive sonic landscape.

The album's artwork and promotional materials further amplify the themes presented in the lyrics, depicting a bleak and polluted future. Critical reception of Global Warning has generally been positive, with reviewers noting the album's intensity, catchiness, and consistent thematic approach.
