The band comments:
” “Sankarin matka” (A Hero’s Journey) is a concept album consisting of an intro and 7 songs. Its dreamlike story slowly advances towards indescribable horrors, which waver between dream and reality, until the truth is exposed in all of its heinousness.

The album has been under making for nearly 2 years in our home studio, and it is finally ready for release despite many set packs.

Musically, the album consists of a broad range of sounds, some of which are already familiar to our music, but we’re also bringing a lot of fresh soundscape to this album.

Influences and sounds of black metal, british deathdoom and progressive rock can be heard, breaking the boundaries of any particular genre.

The musical influences mixed with our vision form an original whole that sounds only of itself.

New songs are also currently in the making, and they’re taking Noitasapatti’s vision even further!“

NOITASAPATTI was born in spring 2017 in Pori, Finland by Erakko (vocals), Liekkiö (guitars, keyboards), Mielivalta (guitars) and Rampa (bass). Soon after that, Rienaaja joined us as a drummer and the first line-up was complete. After a couple of months of intensive rehearsing and composing, we recorded our first demo, “Vaellamme kuin Taivaankappaleet” on december 2017 and released it on CDr-format spring 2018. First live-show took place in our hometown also in the same spring. After that, Rampa left the band and Erakko began to play bass. Next year we recorded a second demo, “Aarnivalkean ajamana” and played some gigs. In 2020, we made a split-album with another Finnish band HOLLOW CORPSE. After some line-up changes, Häviö came to the band at the end of 2020 and a few months later, Kadonnut also joined the band to play keyboards. In summer 2021, we finally recorded our first full-length album “Kuolemattomille maille”. After a few successful live-shows it was time to record our second full-length album, “Sankarin matka” (A hero’s journey) in summer 2023. Album is now recorded, mixed, and mastered, and we are more satisfied with the result than ever before!

Our music can be described as 1990’s black metal with lots of melodies and even “burzumic” atmosperes. Also, you can hear influences from early British death/doom, epic viking metal and even some old school progressive music. Vocals are quite original “howling” and also heavily Burzum-influenced screams. Lyrics are written in Finnish.

Line-up:
Erakko – Vocals, Bass, Mouth Harp, Horns
Liekkiö – Guitars
Häviö – Drums
Kadonnut – Keyboards

Finnish black metal band Noitasapatti is set to release their new studio album ‘Sankarin matka’ on November 29th 2024 via Inverse Records. The First single ‘Paluu liekkeihin’ is released today and it’s available HERE: https://push.fm/fl/noitasapatti-paluu 

• Music by Janne Kekki, Konsta Mikkonen, Aliisa Mäki, Kalle Jönsson
• Lyrics by Jussi Tuulensuu
• Single cover by Mika Huumonen

The band comments:

“Paluu liekkeihin is the first single from the album “Sankarin matka”. It is a good example of the band’s versatile songwriting that moves between atmospheres, and the track has found its place as the final song at our shows. “Paluu liekkeihin” consists of aggressive parts mixed together with more melodic and atmospheric ones, therefore it is a great piece for introducing the band to a broader audience. The lyrics paint an oppressive picture of a world in ruins, slowly ceasing to exist.”
