Helsinki, Finland-based hybrid metal band Keoma crowns its latest release with the single “It Haunts Me”, a track that dives deep into the core of human existence. Released today as part of the brand-new “Mind Coaster” EP, the song explores the ever-present shadow of death – how it lingers in our daily lives, thoughts, and moments. Yet, it also reflects the innate human drive to resist the reaper and believe in life.

“”It Haunts Me” might be our darkest song to date, but also one of the most hopeful. It’s about how death isn’t just an end, but a reminder of why we live. We wanted to create something that resonates with those who’ve stared into the void – and decided to keep going. The track also completes our new “Mind Coaster” EP, which explores the complex and often dark themes of the mind – with a touch of love,” says vocalist Jasse Jatala.

“Mind Coaster” EP Songlist:

1. Bumper Cars – 04:53
2. Disease – 04:41
3. It Haunts Me – 04:11

Helsinki-based 6-piece hybrid metal band Keoma est. 2008 continues to push musical and emotional boundaries with their latest single, “Disease”. The track leans heavily into hard rock, while boldly embracing metal’s intensity – just as its lyrics confront difficult truths head-on. The song is also part of Keoma’s upcoming three-song “Mind Coaster” EP, which will be released 12.12.2025.

“”Disease” is about living with bipolar disorder – the chaotic cycles, the uncertainty, and the fleeting moments of hope. We wanted to create a song that doesn’t romanticize the illness, but also doesn’t shy away from its reality,” says vocalist Jasse Jatala.

Musically, “Disease” is heavy yet melodic – a rollercoaster that mirrors the theme of the song. It’s honest, raw, and still hopeful – much like life with mental health challenges often is.

Helsinki-based hybrid metal band Keoma, known for their fearless blend of metal subgenres, has just released a brand new single: “Bumper Cars”. If you’re into the atmospheric vibes of Deftones and the raw energy of Stone Temple Pilots, this track might hit the sweet spot.

“We released our 3rd album ”A New Beginning?” earlier this year, but our creativity didn’t stop there. “Bumper Cars” is the first taste of our new material – and it really stands out. The song is about love blooming in the last rays of summer sun at an amusement park”, says vocalist Jasse Jatala.

The release party is today, on August 30 at Bar Loose, Helsinki! Come celebrate with us! Also performing are Sata Kaskelottia, who are releasing their new album, and Nuutti Hannula Radianssi. Event page on Facebook: https://fb.me/e/5MAS0FBav

The hybrid metal band Keoma from Helsinki, founded in 2008, has released their third album, “A New Beginning?” today.

The album is an eight-track creation of progressive metal that immediately takes the listener on a journey and lets go with its wistful conclusion, yet leaves the listener thirsting for more.

“It feels very good to release this record to the world and to our fans who have been waiting and waiting. Of course, along the way we have released several singles before this moment, but now is the opportunity to really experience the work intended as a whole. From start to finish. We started working on the album at the end of 2022 and we knew exactly what kind of sound we wanted for the album. Along with the trip, our friend Ville Liukkonen from Artlab was selected to mix the record and for the mastering, a big world view was needed, Acle Kahney from 4D Sounds (a familiar friend from the band TesseracT, by the way) took the booth. We are more than satisfied with the end result, this is our best-sounding album, but also our best album” says the band’s vocalist, Jasse Jatala.

“A New Beginning?” songlist:

1. Contact (03:55)
2. Path I: Is This How You Pay? (08:13)
3. Path II: On My Own, Where’s My Soul? (06:10)
4. Some Kind Of A Builder (04:30)
5. A New Beginning (08:02)
6. Mutakuningas (05:50)
7. Hidden Things (06:17)
8. Blood On The Piano (05:11)

Helsinki hybrid metal band Keoma, founded in 2008, has released the fifth and also the last single “Some Kind Of A Builder” from the upcoming “A New Beginning?” from the album, which will be self-published on January 24, 2025. The song foreshadows the album’s perhaps even more pop tone, being easily approachable, full of big melodies and choruses, without forgetting the band’s characteristic mood changes.

“The lyrics of the song were in my pocket for a long time, they were tried for another song, but somehow they just couldn’t make it work. The words remained in the bank. One day I came across a very cheesy melody flow on the piano, I tried the words and whoops, they fit like a bullet in a magazine. I presented the idea and then the song underwent a typical Keoma “keomatization” process and the song was finished. We consider this to be a hit song and the song is about how one can try, but cannot change the other. It’s good that we are exactly the way we are and we also have our right to that. Although the song has a very typical structure and goes to four, when asked by the gang, “Some Kind Of A Builder” is the hardest to play from our new record,” the band’s vocalist Jasse Jatala commented.

At the same time, Keoma is also preparing to release a DIY music video for the song a week later, on January 10, 2025.

“Twelve years is a long time since the last music video. It just didn’t get done, that’s the reason quite simply put. Now we felt that it’s time to make one. Very soon during the record making process we knew that it would be done for this song. Jaakko, our other guitarist quickly took on the role of director and wrote the script. Schedules were agreed upon and the video was finally completed in November after all the work. It feels good and we got what we wanted. I believe that people will like the video (and the song),” comments the band’s guitarist and background vocalist, Eero Saikku.

Hybrid Metal group Keoma, founded in 2008, has returned and released a new single called “Contact“. The single nicely combines joyful melody and the suddenly changing moods that the band has followed throughout its existence – a unique, original style breaking genre boundaries.

“The roots of the song are strongly in the 2010s, when we started working on this, but it was never finished. We recently went through demos together and the demo of this song rekindled our interest. I also immediately came up with the idea that the song could talk about today’s problem: Although technology makes communication easier between two people, communication still often seems more difficult than when you used to call your friends on a landline in the ‘are you coming out’ type of way.” Jasse Jatala, responsible for the band’s vocals and lyrics, describes.

Keoma has been working hard on their third album, which also marks the return of the original singer, Jasse Jatala, to the band’s line-up. The album is scheduled to be released later this year. By following the bands social media you will be on top of things to come.

“In 2019 I left the band due to many different coincidences, a moment later I realized that I had made one of the biggest mistakes of my life. The band had given me so much all those years and our friendship grew cold. In 2022 I got a call from my best friend, the band’s drummer, asking if I could come back and continue with a clean slate? Fate had taken the reins and I immediately said YES. Now, looking back, you can say that time also cleared the air and we are a more united band than ever – You can really feel and hear that on our upcoming album, which has no shortage of hit choruses, heavy topics about life, hooky riffs and a hypnotically captivating feeling.” Jatala sums up.
