Iterum Nata, the project by Jesse Heikkinen (The Abbey, Henget, ex-Hexvessel) is releasing the brand new album ´From the Infinite Light´ today via Nordvis. In celebration of the release, the artist also premieres a new music video for the song The Drifter, which can be found at the link below.

Jesse comments: “From the Infinite Light” is a concept album exploring the birth of Darkness and Death. The narrative unfolds through two voices; ‘Darkness’, born from the Infinite or Limitless Light – a concept borrowed from Qabbalah to explain cosmic genesis – and a desperate man unraveling his destiny as he descends into madness. Eventually, the man merges with Darkness, together embodying Death.

In the wake of his critically acclaimed 2023 album, “Trench of Loneliness”, Jesse embarks on a bold foray across the boundaries between folk music, black and doom metal, neo-folk, and progressive rock, orchestrating a symphony where every note is a harbinger of both darkness and light.

Delving into the abyss of the human psyche, the album chronicles the odyssey of a desperate soul seeking refuge in the shadows of his inner chaos, eventually finding a sombre embrace in the darkness borne from his disintegrating sanity.

In the wake of his critically acclaimed 2023 album, “Trench of Loneliness”, Jesse Heikkinen (The Abbey, Henget, ex-Hexvessel) embarks on a bold foray across the boundaries between folk music, black and doom metal, neo-folk, and progressive rock, orchestrating a symphony where every note is a harbinger of both darkness and light.

As twelve-string and six-string acoustic guitars weave a cloak of folky serenity, tremolo-picked electric guitars inject black metal mysticism, forging a sound that’s as distinctive as it is immersive. Fusing the brooding narratives of Nick Cave, the avant-garde creativity of Dødheimsgard, and the spectral chants of Dead Can Dance, “From the Infinite Light” is a beckoning path into a world where the melancholy of introspection meets the rage of existence.

“From the Infinite Light” was produced, recorded, and mixed by Jesse Heikkinen at Studio Beyond North Star. The album features guest appearances by Matron Thorn (Ævangelist, Benighted in Sodom), Rob Coffinshaker (The Coffinshakers), as well as renowned author and occultist Richard Kaczynski.

With “From the Infinite Light”, Iterum Nata transitions from a solitary journey to a collective venture, featuring a full band setup that augments the weight and breadth of the project’s soundscape, marking this as its most ambitious and heaviest work to date.

Physical pre-orders for the album are available in the Nordvis Store.

Jesse comments: “A Manifested Nightmare” is about despair and the acceptance of a dark fate. It portrays undefeatable, sinister forces relentlessly pursuing you, leading to an inevitable surrender. Musically, this hauntingly dramatic track is characterized by its hypnotic, repetitive elements, featuring some of the finest piano work I’ve ever recorded. It’s an ideal soundtrack for sleepwalking through nightmares.”

Iterum Nata are now unveiling “A Darkness Within”, the second single from the upcoming release “From the Infinite Light”. The track features a guest appearance by Rob Coffinshaker on lead vocals.

The song now live on all digital streaming platforms HERE.

Jesse comments: “A Darkness Within” features Rob Coffinshaker (The Coffinshakers) on vocals and Petri Heinonen (King Satan) on drums. Musically, it might be the simplest song on the record, yet its lyrics possess profound depth. This track encapsulates the entire metaphysical concept of the new album. It narrates how darkness, or consciousness, emerged from the ‘limitless light’ – an idea inspired by qabbalah. The story parallels that of Lucifer, but here, it is darkness, not light, that imparts knowledge. The first verse delves into microcosmic levels, while the second explores macrocosmic realms – embodying the principle of ‘as above, so below’.

I recorded the lead vocals for the song and even mastered it myself. However, at some point, I felt it required a voice more compelling to convey this tale. Enter Rob Coffinshaker. His agreement to give it a try thrilled me, and the first version he delivered was the definitive take – it was just perfect!”

“Trench of Loneliness” – the fourth album of ITERUM NATA, a psychedelic folk-rock project by The Abbey frontman and former Hexvessel guitarist Jesse Heikkinen – was released on February 10, 2023. Today he presents a music video for the song “My Name is Sorrow”.

Jesse commented:

I asked the director, Anne-Mari Musturi, which song she wanted to do; immediately, her answer was “My Name is Sorrow”. This track is about coming to terms with the fact that life is filled with tragedy. It’s a story about someone who must decide whether to accept and integrate sorrow as a part of his life – or to fight against it and eventually lose.

Sorrow is one of the most beautiful, powerful, and terrifying feelings there is. If you try to ignore her, she will devour and ruin you. When she calls, you better welcome her and her ghosts with arms wide open.

“Trench of Loneliness” is the fourth album of Iterum Nata – a psychedelic folk-rock project by Finnish multi-instrumentalist Jesse Heikkinen, who is also active with The Abbey. While the music of Iterum Nata is occasionally upbeat, the general atmosphere has more in common with neo-folk than Jesse’s former band: Hexvessel, for whom he played lead guitar for five years. All aspects of Iterum Nata are profoundly inspired by the pagan worldview, esotericism, and the dark regions of the human mind; the result is something that could easily pass as the bastard offspring of Rome, Tenhi, Of the Wand & the Moon, Linda Perhacs, Espers, and early King Crimson.

“Trench of Loneliness” was recorded at Studio Beyond North Star. With the exception of Hiski Pajuniemi’s appearance on tin whistle, Jesse handled everything – from the composition to tracking and mixing – entirely by himself.

“Losing Connection” is the second single from the upcoming album of Finnish psychedelic folk-rock project ITERUM NATA. “Trench of Loneliness” will be released on all relevant formats on February 10, 2023.

Jesse commented:

This was the first song I wrote for the album. I don’t arrange my songs in advance at all, but I instead like to see where the music takes me. In many ways, “Losing Connection” revealed to me the direction my new material was heading in. Everything except percussion and vocals were recorded in just one session. “Losing Connection” is for those poor souls who need to live their lives in constant agony. It’s a reminder that everything, even the pain, will eventually go away.

“Trench of Loneliness” was recorded at Studio Beyond North Star. With the exception of Hiski Pajuniemi’s appearance on tin whistle, Jesse handled everything – from the composition to tracking and mixing – entirely by himself.

The project was formed in 2017, following Jesse’s move from Oulu to Tampere. After years of playing other people’s music in various ensembles, all the while longing to write and perform his own material, he conceptualised and founded Iterum Nata. The band name is Latin for ‘born again’ and was chosen as a reference to how a person must always redefine himself – meaning, undergo a rebirth of sorts – in the wake of a powerful experience.

One year after the self-released eponymous debut from 2017 came “The Course of Empire” on Inverse Records. The second Iterum Nata album caught the eye of Finnish label Svart Records, and the critically acclaimed “Bardo Disorder” came out in 2020. Once Jesse had finished the material for the fourth record, he concluded that Nordvis was the perfect fit for his vision of “Trench of Loneliness”.

Tracklist:

1 – My Name is Sorrow
2 – One With the Sun
3 – Forgotten Friends
4 – Bones in the Forest
5 – The Feather
6 – The Mountain
7 – Losing Connection
8 – I Only Sing With the Dead
9 – I’d Rather Be a Fool Than a King
10 – Comedy of Humanity
