Founded in 2020, Finnish metal band KAIRA has just released their latest single, “Sairas Paska” – a track that pulls no punches in sound or message. With its heavy, driving energy and unfiltered lyrics, the song speaks directly to those who’ve experienced narcissism, manipulation, and emotional abuse.

“It was around 2023 when our guitarist Panu shared a demo titled Sairas Paska, and I immediately knew we had to keep the name. It was brutally honest – just like the song itself. The theme came together naturally from there. This is also the first track we’ve done with Antti Myllynen, who joined the band in 2024,” says vocalist Jasse Jatala.

Sairas Paska is raw, relentless, and rhythmically gripping – a sonic outcry for those who’ve endured emotional violence and found the strength to scream back.

Finnish 6-piece progressive doom metallers KAIRA have announced that Antti Myllynen (Barren Earth) has joined the band as a keyboard player:

LOOK! It’s Mister Tokm… Bloody hell it isn’t! It’s Antti, our new keyboard player. Kaira is thus a six-headed, fire-breathing mythical dragon 🐲

We’re so damn excited about Antti’s arrival in the band (Anti has played in multiple bands but he is most known for his work @ Barren Earth) that we can’t keep the beer can in our hands. Welcome Antti!

Antti himself commented on the matter:

“I happened to listen to Kaira’s “Viimeinen Valo” EP in December 2023, and I immediately got excited about the music. I immediately sent Markus a message, which led me to Bar Loose to check out the band’s live performance. I heard a huge potential in Kaira, so we decided to start a collaboration!

Through hard training, we finally got to play with the whole band on Wednesday and the feelings are very good! I’m already looking forward to upcoming gigs and new material where I can mix my own visions with Kaira’s music! Stay tuned!”

Our live performance and Antti’s magical notes can be seen next in Mikkeli, the capital of Mikkeli. Date: 27/04/2024 location: Kivijalka

KAIRA, a 5-piece progressive doom metal group from Helsinki, Finland, released their new EP “Viimeinen Valo” on August 25, 2023. The EP features 4 tracks of atmospheric, genre-bending metal including their recently released single “Vanki.”

Formed in 2020, Kaira consists of experienced musicians, composers and lyricists who sought to create their own unique brand of progressive metal. Their music incorporates doom, death and black metal influences with ambient atmospheres, melodic grooves and mesmerizing breakdowns.

According to singer and spokesperson Jasse Jatala, “Viimeinen Valo’ is the culmination of months of work from 5 musicians with a shared passion for progressive music. We wanted to create something that stands out from the typical doom and metal genres by fusing different styles and pushing creative boundaries.”

The EP was produced, recorded, mixed and mastered in Kaira’s own studios, showcasing their dedication to artistic control and independence as an unsigned band. Kaira plans to play live shows in 2023 to support the new EP.

Listen to the first single from here:

The 2020 established Metal collective KAIRA has released their new single “Vanki” (eng. Prisoner) from their upcoming EP release which will see the light of day later this year.

“Vanki” tells a crushing story of how an alcoholic still has the possibility to choose whether to pick the bottle or start healing. This heavy new single is dedicated to the lead vocalist’s mom who passed away in early 2022.

“I knew right away what kind of mood and feel this song needs and what would be the story behind the lyrics when our guitarist brought this song to the table. “Vanki” represents both sides of beauty in our music: heavyness and lightness. The song is  a strong part of our upcoming EP which has stories all around misery and loss. The presence of these topics can almost be touched with this one.” – Jasse Jatala / Vocals and lyrics
