KEOMA Unleash New Catchy Single ‘Some Kind Of A Builder’ from Upcoming Album

Helsinki hybrid metal band Keoma, founded in 2008, has released the fifth and also the last single “Some Kind Of A Builder” from the upcoming “A New Beginning?” from the album, which will be self-published on January 24, 2025. The song foreshadows the album’s perhaps even more pop tone, being easily approachable, full of big melodies and choruses, without forgetting the band’s characteristic mood changes.

“The lyrics of the song were in my pocket for a long time, they were tried for another song, but somehow they just couldn’t make it work. The words remained in the bank. One day I came across a very cheesy melody flow on the piano, I tried the words and whoops, they fit like a bullet in a magazine. I presented the idea and then the song underwent a typical Keoma “keomatization” process and the song was finished. We consider this to be a hit song and the song is about how one can try, but cannot change the other. It’s good that we are exactly the way we are and we also have our right to that. Although the song has a very typical structure and goes to four, when asked by the gang, “Some Kind Of A Builder” is the hardest to play from our new record,” the band’s vocalist Jasse Jatala commented.

At the same time, Keoma is also preparing to release a DIY music video for the song a week later, on January 10, 2025.

“Twelve years is a long time since the last music video. It just didn’t get done, that’s the reason quite simply put. Now we felt that it’s time to make one. Very soon during the record making process we knew that it would be done for this song. Jaakko, our other guitarist quickly took on the role of director and wrote the script. Schedules were agreed upon and the video was finally completed in November after all the work. It feels good and we got what we wanted. I believe that people will like the video (and the song),” comments the band’s guitarist and background vocalist, Eero Saikku.
