Unzyme’s fifth album, Interference, is out today! It was one of the hardest albums to write, but also highly cathartic. It deals with heavy topics, offering hope and understanding for people who are going through rough times. This album aims to stand the test of time, and not to please algorithms or follow trends. It’s … Read more
Interference, Unzyme’s fifth studio album, explores the unpredictable signals of consciousness and the drive for reckless exploration that humans are hardwired with from the start. It maps themes of protective isolation, escapism, and the steep cost of a life worth living — a journey towards reconciliation on the other side of necessary and painful, but … Read more
Years of chasing something that hasn’t worked out yet. Relationships where I was the one taping photos of good moments to the wall, trying to show that joy was real and always possible. This song is about the ‘unlimiting beliefs’—the ones that look like delusion from the outside but feel like oxygen from the inside. … Read more
“The goons at my door” is about the fight to take back your identity, when it seems to have been silently stolen from you. Video directed, shot and edited by Sebastian Trzaska Song written by Joona Nuutinen Song arrangement by Joona Nuutinen, Daniel Lawrence, Ville Hoikkala and Maiju MäkiSong produced by Lasse Turunen Video produced … 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.
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
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
Unzyme’s first four albums have been released on YouTube. Dive into the biomechanical pop well! Forensics Transplant Override Brainforest
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

Dalziel’s remix of Crazy talk will be released on June 10th!
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
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.
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
