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
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.
“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
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.
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

In the Kent song, Beredd på allt, Joakim Berg sings how he likes to travel alone.

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
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
This song is about wanting to be something else than the majority, but still conforming to outside expectations, because the fear of getting rejected is too strong. It’s about knowing your true self, but keeping it a secret. It takes loads of courage to declare your independence and to live the way you want to. … Read more
I felt like Adam Savage on the set of Blade Runner 2049, or a kid in a theme park, when I was invited for a visit at the Jyväskylä Accelerator Lab. We talked about various forms of collaboration, all of which sounded really interesting to me. They need music for a marketing project, and we … Read more

We just started a new video blog. I’m constantly documenting our music business infiltration progress on video. Materials are sent to Artur Kazmertsuk, who then edits a video of our progress, and I record a voiceover. The goal is to do this on a regular basis.
