Lähiöbotox, who combine tight horn riffs with rap, will release their new album on 8 November and will tour extensively on both sides of the turn of the year. The forthcoming album "Surullinen tapaaus - sellaista on vapaus" is the band's third long-playing album and will be released via Ranka Kustannus. In addition to new music and festival tours, the year has been marked by the African Metal Tour documentary series, which premiered on Yle in the spring.

Lähiöbotox has become one of the most followed bands in metal music, and has been nominated for Metal of the Year and Newcomer of the Year Emma-awards.
