Raided Room (lyric video) released
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
Tension to be released on Spotify on October 16th, 2020
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

The map that led me here (lyric video) released
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 (lyric video) released
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
Tension (lyric video) released
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 (lyric video) released
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 (Live at the Unzyme Proving Ground) video released
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

New live video of The Completionist released

Until the guilt is forgiven – Live at the Unzyme Proving Ground: video released
“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
Taike grant awarded to Joona
Taike (Arts Promotion Centre Finland) has awarded a working grant to me (Joona), which will enable almost two months of compositional work towards the fourth (and possibly portions of the fifth) Unzyme album. I wonder if we should start using the same naming convention as the legendary German pop sensation, Modern Talking, where they always … Read more
String arrangement of Harder to breathe released (live video)
Unzyme’s keyboardist, Daniel Lawrence arranged a new song of ours in a rather grandiose way. We’ve always liked strings, but lately that love has actualized in many string-heavy songs, including “Never leave the shipyard”, “Harder to breathe”, “Tension”, “About to explode” and “Dust on the shelves” – all from the upcoming album.
Acoustic live version of After years of ecstasy released
Ville is now busier than ever, finishing his thesis on CRISPR, so we can’t perform or rehearse like we normally do. This led us to think about alternative ways of working, one of which is to write new arrangements for old songs. We did a couple of new arrangements – an acoustic guitar arrangement of … Read more
