Metal Shock Finland (World Assault )

Rockshots Records and Finnish progressive metallers Canvas of Silence release “Humanimal”, the third single from the upcoming debut album “As The World Tree Fell“, out next October 31, 2025. The track arrives alongside its official lyric video, offering a sharp, visual dive into the song’s message and hooks.

A fan favorite from early demos, “Humanimal” returns in its definitive album version – energetic, catchy and direct – distilling the band’s hallmark blend of weighty riffs, intricate rhythmic undercurrents, symphonic color and expressive female vocals anchored by a larger-than-life chorus. Lyrically, the song reflects on the beast within and the choice to tame it through empathy – we’re part of nature, yet only we can choose to care for one another and the world we share.

The single fits squarely within the album’s conceptual arc, where the symbolic fall of the “World Tree” frames themes of collapse, grief, memory and renewal – ultimately pointing toward transformation. Across eight tracks, Canvas of Silence balance progressive ambition with immediacy, channeling cinematic atmospheres, atmospheric rock textures and emphatic choruses into a cohesive narrative journey.

ABOUT:

Canvas of Silence is a catchy prog-influenced female vocal-driven metal band from Finland. Starting as a solo project by Tatu Hanhikoski (guitars, programming, songwriting), Canvas of Silence has since formed into a full band including Aino Vuorenmaa (vocals), Jaakko Puusaari (guitars, vocals), Mikael Minkkinen (bass) and Iiro Vuori (drums). The music of Canvas of Silence paints its pictures on silence with complementary colours. It’s heavy but melodic, occasionally complex yet at the same time somewhat simple and catchy, glued together with female vocals and symphonic elements. Or as the drummer Iiro Vuori put it, the music can be described as ”Prog-influenced Chorus Metal”.
