I found this song by accident on YouTube. It’s hard to explain why I like it. There’s just something very hypnotic about the song. Sounds modern and original. And the video looks very cool!

Song dissection: Trespassers
Trespassers is one of my more autobiographical songs. Sometimes it’s easy to write, if you just document what you’ve experienced. Musically Trespassers is from the lighter edge of the Unzyme spectrum – something that could be played on a plain piano. I quite like the solos in this song. The story, however, is the most interesting … Read more
The best band websites to mimic
Websites tend not to be a top priority anymore, which is a shame, because no social media profile can really do what a website does. A website is supposed to be the most reliable, coherent information source for your band. But that’s rarely the case. Band websites are more like social media link collections than … Read more
New album to be released in magazine format
The age of the CD has come to an end, but cover art still lives on. I’ve decided that the physical form of Unzyme’s next album will be more like a magazine or a book, than a conventional CD package. I already entertained the thought, when designing the cover art for Override, and one copy … Read more
New Unzyme music videos to be shot even deeper underground – in mines
We’re going deeper underground. Or at least we’re trying to get permissions to shoot two music videos in two different mines. Suvi Liukkonen, the producer of the music videos, has started negotiations with First Quantum Minerals, a company that operates the Pyhäsalmi mine and Nordkalk Oy, which operates the Tytyri mine in Lohja. We’re also … Read more

We just decided that our next music video, “Lie down in debris”, will be released within a month – on January 20th. The video will be preceded by the song itself – it will be released on Spotify and other digital distribution channels already on Friday, January 13th.
Murderator – Ableton Live Glitch Effects Rack by Unzyme and Machine Interaction
Want to add some sparkling, rhythmical, dissolute and raging biomechanical glitch buzz effects to your tracks or live shows? If so, Murderator is for you! The original bleep sounds have been mined from a purposefully desecrated 80’s Hohner synthesizer. This glitch effect is perfect for experimental DJs, heavy electronic music and to impress your weird … Read more
“Lie down in debris” music video to be released soon
A few months in the making, the music video for “Lie down in debris” is about 80% done, and will soon be released. No exact date has been set yet, but it shouldn’t take too long to get it out there. “Lie down in debris”, like all our previous videos, has been shot in an … Read more
First draft of the new music video
Sebastian Trzaska just sent me the first draft of our next music video. It will be very different from the other two we’ve released from the third album. We’re still working on a few alternative cuts, because the original idea, to show the events in chronological order, might’ve not been the best idea after all. … Read more
New blacklight fixtures: Cameo UVBar 200 IR
We just ordered two Cameo UVBar 200 IR blacklight fixtures to spice up the Unzyme experiments. The idea is to use some blacklight strobe effects in songs. The lab coats should look pretty cool in UV light. We already had four stands for Stairville LED Bars, and wanted to hang the new blacklight fixtures to … Read more
The key lines
I always write the music first, and then start working on the lyrics. For some reason, the original melody is so important to me, that I’m not willing to change it in order to write the lyrics more easily. I feel that if I replace the melody, the feeling of the song would lose something important. Relying … Read more
