The crushing soundscape of stoner rock dominates Finnish metal outfit Karahka’s new single “Temptations.” Punk undertones and a foundation rooted in traditional heavy metal complete the track in a way that fits seamlessly into Karahka’s distinctive style.
The band has also released a music video for ”Temptations.”
“We’re currently working on new material for our third album, set to be released next winter. Over the past year, we’ve accumulated a solid batch of riffs and lyrics to develop,” says guitarist Juuso Vettenranta. “The upcoming full-length revolves around mental health issues, and Temptations fits the theme perfectly, so we refined it into the first single and a warning of what’s to come.”
“Temptations” single: Spotify – Apple Music – Tidal – Qobuz – Deezer
Formed in 2020, the Finnish band Karahka released their debut album Dark Side of the Night in 2024.
A single titled “This Means War,” taken from the prolific group’s December 2025 album Modern Fanfares, landed on several Spotify playlists and has been streamed over 60,000 times on the platform.
Karahka is also planning to hit the road even before the release of their upcoming album.
“Our management is currently organizing a UK tour. Negotiations are already quite far along, and I can confidently say we’ll be heading to the UK in November,” Juuso adds.
