RADIEN have announced a new album!

Titled Unissa Palaneet, the upcoming album from the Finnish sludge/doom metal band is the follow-up to 2018’s SYVVYS, and is scheduled to be released in May this year, via Svart Records.

The upcoming album is mixed by Sanford Parker [YOB, EYEHATEGOD] and mastered by James Plotkin. It features international guest appearances by Dylan Walker [FULL OF HELL], Mike Paparo [INTER ARMA] and Italian multi-instrumentalist Lili Refrain.

The upcoming album intends to tell a story of a person who finds a calm spot inside himself or herself amid chaos, and starts to see visions and dreams of the end times of humanity. Speaking about the upcoming album, guitarist/vocalist Felipe Hauri says, “the protagonist’s dreams turn lucid, and he/she understands them being prophecies of the future. He/she understands being capable of altering the course of history through his visions, but in the end decides that it is best to let things happen as they are meant to happen and not intervene in anything. In the end the dreams and visions mix with one another and become reality. Nature strikes back at humanity and in the end the human era ends in flames and ash.”

Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new song from the upcoming album; Seinämän takana. The new song features a guest appearance from Dylan Walker of FULL OF HELL.

Describing the song, the band says it “depicts a moment when the boundaries between dreams and reality break. Dreams and visions are no longer merely dreams, but omens waiting to manifest themselves in reality.”
