Finnish stoner/punk rock band Alkemia released their debut “Alkemia EP” via Inverse Records. 

Alkemia’s debut EP recordings began in 2023 with drums, bass, and rhythm guitars tracked at the professional studio of Ammattiopisto Live in Espoo. The remaining guitar overdubs, solos, and vocals were recorded at the band’s rehearsal space in Helsinki.

The goal was to capture a live, groovy sound in the songs. Initial mixing difficulties were resolved by switching mixers, with the final mix completed by Ville Siikamäki. The EP aimed for a sound blending Eyehategod and Bad Brains, keeping the overall vibe raw and rock-driven without overly polished details. The EP’s creation took time, as all good alcoholic—er, alchemical—processes do. There was no rush, and the band worked around other commitments, as they noted in their press release. 

The band has no concrete plans for the future. Only to keep playing and writing new songs. Some gigs are also lined up for the fall, including the EP release show at Playhouse Bar in Helsinki on November 1st 2025.

Finnish stoner/punk rock band Alkemia is set to release their debut EP which is named simply as “Alkemia EP”. The release date is October 24th 2025 and it will come out via Inverse Records. The first single ‘Höyrypää’ is unleashed today with a music video which is available below.

The band comments:
“The inspiration for Höyrypää was the life of Motörhead’s Lemmy. The song can be seen as depicting a desperate run from death on a steep mountainside. This is, of course, better than running day after day in a hamster wheel.”

Finnish Helsinki-based stoner rock band ALKEMIA released their first single Unida which also includes B-side named Kääntöpuoli. The single is released in cooperation with Inverse Records on October 19th 2021.

“Unida is one of the first songs that we worked on as a group. The feeling of the song is quite hazy and raw with a straightforward in your face attitude. Song draws inspiration from the ups and downs of addictions, relationships and life in general. Can’t have light without the shadow. Erno Kangasluoma, band’s singer/guitarist and lyricist sums up.”
