2021 was not an easy year. It was a year of necessary endings and brave new beginnings. We had to say farewell to Unzyme’s long-time drummer, the magnificent beatmaster, lord of the nanoworld, Ville Hoikkala, because he wanted to fully commit to his academic career. The decision was not made lightly, but once it was … Read more
Unzyme’s original drummer, Ville Hoikkala, has stepped away from his beat-handling duties to be able to fully concentrate on his academic career. This is mostly due to both parties wanting to accelerate, but to opposite directions. Unzyme’s demands have been growing a lot lately, and this felt like the right time to face reality and … Read more
A new lyric video has been released for Supreme abilities. The footage in the video was shot by Joona while visiting more or less abandoned places somewhere in Finland. Two more songs from Forensics will get lyric videos, after which we move on to unreleased songs.
We’ve been working hard on the next Unzyme album. The work was started well before our previous album, Forensics, was released. This new chapter will deal with big themes like identity, courage, addiction, depression, friendship and transformation. There will be at least one scifi song, as is customary (we’re secretly building a scifi album on … Read more
Unzyme will play a very special show at Jyväskylä Pride 2021, which takes place in the legendary Lounaispuisto. The event starts at 14:00 and ends at 18:00. We don’t know the exact showtime yet, but our show will likely be the last. Unzyme producers Lasse and Henna will also bring their spectacular Pihka Is My … Read more
A few years ago, Joona set out to write an album that would study life choices, and how they may be hard to rationalize. ‘Forensics’ is a compilation of stories about digging into your own past, trying to understand what really happened and why. Sometimes there are clues that were left unnoticed at the time. … Read more
We use Ableton Live’s MIDI clips to automate live stream camera switching. The stream is sent to multiple streaming services from a dedicated streaming laptop. Ableton Live is running on another laptop. All devices are connected to the same router (which is also a wireless modem). In addition to Ableton Live, you will need to … Read more
Unzyme will play their latest album, Forensics, in its entirety, just one day after its release. Join us on May 8th, 8PM EET on YouTube.
Directed, shot and edited by Sebastian Trzaska, the Shield music video is most probably our best music video so far. The fantastic industrial premises of Outokumpu Old Mine served the story well. Shield is also available on Spotify, but it should definitely be enjoyed with the video.
Recorded at the Unzyme Proving Ground, a new live version of Money grinder was released a few days ago on YouTube. If James Frank would be around, he would definitely enjoy this with a cup of coffee.
Inspired by the latest live stream a few weeks ago, we’ll do another one on March 27th! YouTube is our main platform, but feel free to watch the stream on Sessions Live, Twitch or Facebook. Send your song requests to us!
Forensics will be the successor to 2017’s extremely poppy album Transplant. We got tired of waiting for a better time, so the release date was set to May 7th, 2021. We’re already busy writing, recording and producing the fifth album, so we gotta get this one out of the oven. One more single, Shield, will … Read more
We haven’t had the time to properly recover from the release of Money grinder, but the next video is already underway. “Shield” will be released on March 26th.
The key to success is consistency. You are the result of your routines. Abandon your old story. Become the best version of yourself. The road to your first million starts here. There are no shortcuts. You need patience and empathy. What’s your definition of greatness? Don’t be afraid to change your life. Find your passion … Read more
We aren’t exactly known for doing cover songs. This is the first cover song to be released, after three albums of original material. It was surprisingly fun to work on this song, since it has quickly become a modern classic. There’s something very charming about this song. The Hoff has always stood for believing in … Read more
“Money grinder” is about dopamine-driven attention addiction, fueled by portraits of a perfect life in social media. It’s a critique on companies that give us dreams and monetize our attempts in gaining celebrity. We have all been behaviorally conditioned by the eternal content feed. The lyrics encourage you to to step away from the constant … Read more
Leo Val and Joona co-wrote and recorded Rebels in the Rain together in about 5 hours. It’s mostly Leo’s composition – he wrote the demo and produced the track. Lyrics were co-written while Joona improvised the melodies. “Rebels in the Rain” is a part of Leo Val’s debut album, Hack The Power, which is out … Read more
Recorded at the Unzyme Proving Ground in late 2020.
Recorded at the Unzyme Proving Ground, this new acoustic version of Tension features Janne T. Malinen on the guitar.
Tension has now been available on Spotify for a couple of weeks. Feel it! As Roger Penrose says, “There is no before.”
The final video to be featured from Transplant! Now the chapter is closed, and we can move on to the next one. This is one of the coolest songs to play live. Such energy is hard to pack into one song, and we always seem to need more of these fast stompin’ songs in the … Read more
