Nerve cells is the second single from Unzyme’s upcoming album. Some of our songs have science fiction themes. This is one of two scifi songs on the fourth Unzyme album. As a long-time fan of science fiction movies and games, I always find it fascinating to write about possible futures. Songs like Extinction, Wargame and … Read more
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
Pre-save our next single on Spotify, or Spotikka, as we Norsemen tend to say. The song is already available on YouTube, and the Mexicans seem to like it. They make good Fenders in Mexico, you know? Rivers Cuomo knows what I’m talking about. Anyway, we’re quite proud of this song, as it makes you want … Read more

I have always liked the dark, but rather warm nights of September and October. Somehow the darkness is very inviting. Rain and falling leaves make it more beautiful and dramatic. I like to spend a lot of time outdoors with my camera, bicycling around, hopping over fences, shooting video clips and photos while listening to … Read more
Incision is from our 2017 album, Transplant. We are on a mission to create lyric videos to songs that don’t have any kind of visuals yet. Incision has been a fan favorite ever since it was released, but we left it unplayed for quite some time. At some point I wrote very long lyrics, and … Read more
I bicycled to PihkaSound to rehearse a song with the Unzyme producer Lasse Turunen. I was just about to get back home, when I noticed that my bike had a flat tire. I decided to walk back home and shoot some video footage on the way back. Most of the time I was on the … Read more
Misconstructed is one of the less performed tracks from Transplant, along with Incision. Misconstructed is a tough track to play live, because it’s so frantic and misconstrued, like its title. But it was lots of fun to compose. There is a healthy dose of The Prodigy in this track – Keith Flint would’ve had his … Read more
Lie down in debris is so much fun to play live. I’ve always felt that we play rock music, even though the instrumentation and stylistic choices are very much electronic. There’s a good amount of Nirvana in the on/off nature of this song. I was also channeling Pendulum, when writing the song. Lie down in … Read more
Joona explains how the fourth album was named. “It’s all about looking back, trying to figure out how you got to where you are. Forensic investigation of your own past.” Watch the video to learn more about the thoughts behind the upcoming album.
We did a bunch of live songs at the Unzyme Proving Ground. After recording the other songs that we had originally planned to record, we had time for one more. This was shot in one take. The Completionist is definitely one of our favorite songs to play live, as it is very energetic and playful.
The latest Weezer tracks have been suspiciously good and liberated. It feels like they don’t give a damn about how people see them, and that seems to result in some fine music. Weezer is such a productive band, that it’s inevitable to have some variation in the quality of their songs. Personally, I like all … Read more
“Until the guilt is forgiven” was recorded at Unzyme’s band rehearsal at the Unzyme Proving Ground in August 2020. Tech-wise our rehearsals don’t really differ from a proper show, so it’s good to record the state of the band on video, from time to time. This song was released in 2017 on our third album, … Read more
I needed to write music to a trapeze performance of a friend of mine, who lives some 500 kilometres away. I could’ve used the microphone of the laptop, and let it record the stuff from speakers, but that would’ve resulted in lousy audio quality. So, I started looking for a way to get audio from … Read more
