Guitarist Harri Hautala adds about the track:
“The core idea, the copper mountain from which the world tree grows, behind ‘Karn of Burnings’ came from a Bronze Age burial ground I visited two years ago. This visit largely changed my view of the world from a historical and especially ancestral perspective. ‘Aettarfylgja’ paints a picture of the people of that era. Lots of music in a small space.”

UNSHINE’s new album, “Karn of Burnings” assures an enthralling voyage delving into the realms of pre-modern human existence and posthuman metaphors, characterized by their signature blend of melodic Nordic folk elements and the ethereal vocals of Susanna Vesilahti. With eight tracks, each representing a living entity from different eras, the album spans 45 minutes of melodic storytelling. UNSHINE believes that fans will be pleasantly surprised by the album’s offerings, promising a unique and unpredictable listening experience.

Fans and enthusiasts worldwide are encouraged to experience the ritualistic journey of “Karn of Burnings” now available as of March 22, 2024, from Rockshots Records. It is recommended for fans of Amorphis, The Gathering, and Skálmöld.

What would a Folkrim version of a dingy swamp sound like? The answer comes in the form of SUOHERRAN HOVI, the second single to be released from our forthcoming album ”EMBERS”. Where as the first single relied on speed to get it’s violent point across, this song approaches the problem from a different direction. The riffs are fat, chuggy and groovy against a straight pounding of the drums. Dirty, almost jazzlike instrumentation and arrangement lays a twisted layer in to the soup. And finally, a sprinkling of growls in the harsh Finnish language is set on top and the witch’s brew is complete.

The sing-along nature of the chorus is so catchy, you won’t even care if it’s sung in an arcane
language – and neither do we. Chant, hum, wail out of tune, do what you must! Just you come and
join us in the Halls of the Swamplord.

Folkrim, emerging from the dark solitude of Finland’s western coast, has evolved from a one-man project to a fully formed folk-infused death metal band. Comprising drummer Eetu Ritakorpi, guitarists Iiro Sarman & Otto Hyvärinen, bassist Viktor Suominen, and frontman Erno Helander, Folkrim is ready to spread fear with their new full-lenght album, “Embers”.

“Embers” tells a twisted tale of descent, from a shipwreck through decaying marshlands to a grand epic of destruction. Songs like “Bottle of Poison” showcase a modern structure filled with violence and speed. Viktor Suominen describes the album as more grounded, sticking to a single theme, with a journey that gets progressively gloomy and dire. The band’s sound has shifted towards less humppa/drinking songs and more towards melodic death and thrash.

Influenced by bands like Ensiferum, Finntroll, Moonsorrow, Children of Bodom, and Nekrogoblikon, Folkrim’s music blends folk metal with melodic death and black metal elements. “Embers” promises a unique musical journey, reflecting the band’s evolution and commitment to their distinct sound. The future awaits, daring listeners to face the dangers along the way.

Recommended for fans of Ensiferum, Finntroll, Moonsorrow, Children of Bodom, Nekrogoblikon Folkrim’s full-lenght album “Embers” is due out on April 5, 2024 from Rockshots Records.

The band expresses pride in the song, citing its unprecedented eclecticism, layered arrangements, and infectious melodies that weave into a dark and tense atmosphere. Lyrically, the song draws inspiration from the concept of a “blue-sky catastrophe,” a phenomenon in chaotic systems where slow oscillation suddenly disappears, leading to a different, chaotic behavior. The lyrics explore the human tendency to take stability for granted, delving into the inevitability of change, deterioration, or evolution in relationships, routines, and convictions. The track serves as a reminder that, like a mountain eroding through the ages, nothing is truly immutable, and what we believe to be eternal can eventually transform.

LYRICS:
SCENDO PER LE SCALE
PRECIPITO
CHE INCUBO QUEL VUOTO
DOVE ARRIVERO’
VIVO IN UN BALENO
A LUCI SPENTE
SDRAIATO SU SIRINGHE
CON SCRITTO “TI AVVELENO”

HO VISSUTO MILLE VOLTE
TRENI IN CORSA E LIVIDI
SIMULANDO UN’APPARENTE
LIBERTA’

RESPIRERO’
CONTRO CORRENTE
STILE RETRO’
FIUMI IN PIENA

CUORE DELL’INVERNO
QUALE ARMONIA…
LA MIA CONDANNA E’
LA BUGIA

HO TROVATO NEL RIFLESSO
UN AMICO FRAGILE
CHE MI DICE “GUARDA
ADESSO DOVE SARO’ IO”

RESPIRERO’
CONTRO CORRENTE
STILE RETRO’
FIUMI IN PIENA

LUNGO DISTESE CHI VERRA’?
SENTO GRIDARE LA MIA VERITA’
NON SERVE A NULLA
IMMAGINARE DOMANI
CIO’ CHE POSSIEDO E’ ADESSO

LO STESSO SCENARIO
MI RENDE NECESSARIO
LO STESSO ERRORE MAI
