Kuopio-based progressive metal newcomer Heaven-Gemini has released a new single. “Tinnitus” is available on all streaming services. The music video released alongside the song sheds light on the story of the upcoming album.

“Tinnitus is an auditory perception that is not caused by an external sound source. Therefore, tinnitus is an internal sound. And the internal sound doesn’t always speak kindly; sometimes it screams,” explains the song’s composer and lyricist Aleksi Kokko.

“With its appealing rhythms and straightforward transitions, Tinnitus is simply beautiful,” summarizes guitarist Mikko Soininen.

The song progresses with intricate rhythms, while also being one of the band’s more catchier tracks. On the album, tinnitus represents the voice of conscience echoing through time and space.

“Tinnitus keeps on ringing in your head and ears. Protect your hearing, cherish your head, enjoy the song,” says drummer Santtu Paananen.

The music video continues the series started with “Pathomania”. The saga is approaching its end, but more is yet to come, the band hints.

Finnish progressive metal band Heaven-Gemini has released the first single from their upcoming album.

“Pathomania delves into simulated worlds. The concept album, titled ‘Luonnonoikku’ (‘Freak of Nature’), tells a story that has a handful of ethical dilemmas. The single presents one of them: if life were to occur in an endless loop of simulations, what is the value of one’s or another’s death ,” the band explains.

Formed in 2018, the band released their debut EP “Dolores” in the fall of 2022. “Pathomania” represents the band’s heaviest offering to date.

“Pathomania is built from simple basic blocks, ones and zeros. The working title of the song, ‘Riffiest riff,’ tells the essence,” composer and singer-guitarist Aleksi Kokko says.

“I remember my initial reaction to the first demo Aleksi sent was ‘holy f***’ or something along those lines. The riff department is quite punishing. The lyrics ended up being quite cruel as well,” lyricist Santtu Paananen says.

The music video was filmed in November 2023 at five different locations, such as a movie theater in Mikkeli. Santtu Paananen was responsible for the video.

Musically, the song incorporates elements from Gojira-inspired riff assaults to rhythmic djent.

“The album has been in the works in studios and home studios, as well as in the darkest corners of the mind over the last year and a half. The bar has been set high,” the band reveals.

“Luonnonoikku” will be released through Inverse Records in the fall of 2024. The album was mixed by Seppo Nummela and mastered by Joni Borodavkin. The cover art is by Jussi Huttunen.
