I wrote this song about a friend of mine, who always seemed to be stuck between multiple choices in life. Who to be with? Which city to live in? Which role to play? Jealous and undecided, committed only on paper. Things often seemed to be better anywhere but here. Other people seem to have wonderful … Read more
We’re happy to announce the Unzyme opening show for Aikakone, Movetron, Waldo’s People and Mascara at Kuhmoinen Calling: We Are One Festival and the outrageously spectacular dance music celebration tour that is Erittäin hyvä ellei täydellinen on July 27th, 2024 in the fabulous Sahanranta venue in Kuhmoinen, Finland. In the meantime, new music is being … Read more
I wrote this song to a friend who struggles with depression. He sees a lot of things happening around him, but stays still, protecting himself from any outside influence. It’s rather easy to become a spectator in your own life, lacking the will or means to build anything, or to even feel anything. This song … Read more
Louder than the voice of reason, one of the songs from Unzyme’s fifth album is accompanied by a documentary film about the future of the prison system. Created in collaboration with Tuohimedia, the music video was shot deep underground, as we often tend to do. Would you rather be bored to death or lose yourself … Read more
Unzyme’s long-time video collaborator Sebastian Trzaska raises the bar with his sixth music video for Unzyme. It’s no secret that we both enjoy spending time in the derelict industrial facilities of Gotham City at night, but the Old Mine Museum in Outokumpu is a great alternative whenever plane tickets to Gotham are too expensive. “Consumed” … Read more
Unzyme’s new music video, Springwater, has been released on January 12th, 2024. It’s a documentary video, shot in an old warship, under the unforgiving winds of the Baltic Sea. Springwater is a song from Unzyme’s fifth album, Interference. This is our first video collaboration with Tuohimedia, with more to come.
We’re looking forward to performing at the fantastic Jyväskylä Pride party on September 9th! Showtime will be around midnight at Freetime. As usual, the Unzyme show will be electric, ecstatic, anthemic and deeply emotional. We’ll play lots of new songs and many familiar classics from Unzyme’s biomechanical pop catalogue. We hope to see your smiling … Read more
A few years ago I met a very skilled musician at a songwriting camp. She wrote some very beautiful folk songs in Finnish. I didn’t know her well, and we didn’t talk much after the event, but soon after the camp I heard that she was diagnosed with cancer. She shared her struggles on social … Read more
“Dust on the shelves” was released 4 years ago. The video was directed by Ville Hoikkala, and featured Mary Violet and Olli Lukkari as lead actors. We shot the video in two days on a weekend, at a distant cabin in the woods. Ville was constantly afraid of the video being too much in the … Read more
A few years ago we decided to participate in the Finnish division of the Eurovision song contest (UMK). This song is a bit different in tone, as it was specifically written for the competition. Lyrically this song is a bit of an oddball in the Unzyme catalogue, as it was written to be more straightforward. … Read more
“Harder to breathe” deals with the guilt of having passed on an extremely difficult situation to the next generation. Yet there’s the expectation for the young ones to step up and change the trajectory. It’s a heavy heritage, born out of selfishness, but which can only be fixed together. The colors of the video are … Read more
“Foreign agendas” is a B-side from the Forensics sessions. I made a lyric video for the song, which shows varied imagery from all over the world – including abandoned mines, and the cities and art that were built out of those minerals. Everything you choose to do, has a cost. It’s good to occasionally stop … Read more
We recorded this acoustic live version of “Never leave the shipyard” at my family cabin. My dear friend and a fantastic musician, Janne Malinen wrote the acoustic guitar arrangement of the song. I think he captured the heavy essence of the song, which is very sad, still and rather powerless. It’s a cry for something … Read more
We’re excited to announce that we’ll be opening for Apulanta at Tullikamari in two weeks – on October 14th! This is going to be fan-fucking-tastic. Explosions and mutations ahead!
Unzyme’s first four albums have been released on YouTube. Dive into the biomechanical pop well! Forensics Transplant Override Brainforest
We’re happy to announce two biomechanical pop shows at Jyväskylä Pride 2022. The first show will take place in Lounaispuisto, after the Pride March. The second and much longer show will be played at night at Aalto-Sali (entrance through Freetime). This is certainly not the first or last time we’ll be performing at Jyväskylä Pride.
Unzyme’s summer pop song from the upcoming album, Interference, is now available on all streaming services. Listening to the song is strongly recommended. It has several health benefits, like liberating from all kinds of rotten beliefs.
Another music video collaboration between the magnificent Sebastian Trzaska and Unzyme – Escaping the mirror. It’s a departure from what we’ve done before, but a lot of work was poured into this new kind of video concept as well. The song is about needing to change internally, and hooking up with someone who is a … Read more
