Alfa Pentatonik (formerly Pentatonik) plays heavy Finnish industrial metal. Formed in the early 2000s, the band has released two albums and numerous other releases. The band returned in 2022 with a new name and singles. They are now releasing a sequel to their latest “Gamma I” EP. The new release is called Gamma II.

The band’s mastermind is JP Immonen (Walhalla, Aria of Sorrow, Iron Frost), who plays all the instruments, writes the songs, and handles production. The second member of the band is Janne Partanen (Hautajaisyö, Verilehto, Marraskuun Lapset, Paavalin Harhat), who writes the lyrics and sings. ‘Gamma II’ continues in the same vein as its predecessor. Hard and heavy guitars are mixed with dark vocals and almost dance beats. Sami Lindqvist joins the release to play guitar solos and backing vocals. Harri Hytönen from ‘Gamma I’ also plays a few guitar solos. Dystopian samples from an interview with Yrjö Kallinen (1971) are the icing on the cake for this new Finnish industrial metal/industrial thrash metal release.

Line-up:
JP Immonen: guitars, bass, drums, synths, composition, arrangement & production.
Janne Partanen: vocals, lyrics & arrangement.

Guests:
Harri Hytönen: solo guitar on tracks 2 & 4

Finnish Industrial Metal band Alfa Pentatonik (Formed in 2002 as Pentatonik) released a new single and music video ‘Kone yskii’ from their forthcoming Gamma II EP which is set to be unleased on July 18th 2025 via Inverse Records. 

The band comments:
“The video single ‘Kone yskii’ is one of the band’s most ‘pop’ songs, and we joke that it could be an ‘Eurovision’ entry. In this catchy song, we follow humankind’s last survivor: a cyborg who has forgotten what it means to be human.”
