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

“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

Tension has now been available on Spotify for a couple of weeks. Feel it! As Roger Penrose says, “There is no before.”
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 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

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

For a long time I had this idea of having lyric videos of all of our songs. I had a very specific idea of how the lyric videos should look like, and I didn’t really know how to make such videos. But I know how to make this kind of videos, so I decided to … Read more
This new Unzyme song explores the misty abandoned playgrounds of Coldplay, Sia, Sigur Ros, a-ha, Florence + The Machine and Poets of the Fall. The video for “Dust on the shelves” was directed and shot by Ville Hoikkala. The script is based on the lyrics of the song. The song, as usual, was produced and … Read more
The new song marks a new, explorative chapter in the Unzyme saga. It may be a bit of a counter reaction to the pop-infested Transplant. That’s not to say that we don’t like Transplant. It’s our best album so far, but these new songs play a different game. It’s more of a risk to go … Read more
