Kivisydän invites their listeners into a world where fragility and strength coexist, where the weight of sorrow is both crushing and cathartic. Melodic, symphonic metal meets powerful vocals and lyrics that delve deep into sorrow, despair, and pain – but ultimately also hope.

The band that was started in 2022, are now releasing their debut album ”Kuoleva Aurinko” (translates into “Dying Sun”). The album was mixed by Heikki Marttila / Guru Studio and mastered by Miro Kiiski / Miromastering.

“We’re really satisfied with the album, it came out really great and can’t wait to share it with everyone. The album will be very versatile musically. It has fast songs with a lot of things happening, and slower songs that have very minimalistic instrumentals. It has long, complex songs and shorter and more straight-forward ones. It can be regarded as a theme album, and the theme is one person’s life story with all its gruesome and dark phases and details.

If you like dark, melancholic, symphonic and melody-filled metal, you should definitely check us out!” — Kivisydän

Finnish melancholic metal band Kivisydän invites their listeners into a world where fragility and strength coexist, and where the weight of sorrow feels both crushing and liberating. Melodic, symphonic metal meets powerful vocals and lyrics that delve deep into sorrow, despair, and pain – but ultimately also into hope.

“Varjoihin” is the last single release from the band’s debut album “Kuoleva Aurinko” to be released on October 17th 2025. The album was mixed by Heikki Marttila / Guru Studio, known as the guitarist for the band Stella, and mastered by Miro Kiiski / Miromastering.

“Varjoihin” tells the story of a child who is constantly criticized and belittled by his own loved ones, crushing his self-esteem to pieces. The child’s only escape and joy is running in the woods. The song presents a more energetic side of the band, contrasting with the funeral atmosphere of the previous single.” – Kivisydän

Melodic, symphonic metal meets powerful vocals and lyrics that delve deep into sorrow, despair, and pain – but ultimately also into hope.

The new single “Suru” (Sorrow) is the third single from the debut album ”Kuoleva Aurinko” (Dying Sun) to be released later this autumn. The album is mixed by Heikki Marttila / Guru Studio and it’s mastered by Miro Kiiski / Miromastering.

”Suru is taken from the calmer side of the upcoming album and is one of the band’s most personal songs. The lyrics tell of the songwriter’s own experiences of the premature loss of loved ones. A beautiful melody cloaked in sad lyrics.” – Kivisydän
