NUUTTI HANNULA RADIANSSI release today the first single ‘Vapaan tahdon sirpaleet’ from their upcoming album “Metamorfoosi”. The song combines heavy rhythmic riffing, melodic vocal lines, and an evocative atmosphere. The theme of the lyrics revolves around the timeless question of free will, allowing each listener the opportunity to interpret the text in their own way.

Nuutti Hannula on ‘Vapaan tahdon sirpaleet’:
“‘Vapaan tahdon sirpaleet’ addresses the problem of free will that has puzzled people for thousands of years. The essence of the song boils down to the question: Does life have meaning if a person is not the master of their own actions?”

“The inspiration for the lyrics stems from my deep interest in the subject, without directly stating my personal opinion on it. The question is particularly intriguing simply because of the enormous upheavals it would bring to human self-perception or even the legal system if it could be indisputably proven that humans lack control over their own actions, despite feeling otherwise.”

“The composition of the song originated from a rhythmic riff that initially came to mind as a drum beat before I transferred it to the guitar. In the chorus and outro, I aimed to create a melodic atmosphere to contrast with the heaviness of the main riff.”

“Towards the end of the song’s production, Ilari came up with an arpeggio pattern over the initial riff, which added a slightly more mysterious tone to the song. In the acoustic section at the end, you can also hear gems of Matias’ sound design, which add further depth to the overall piece, along with, of course, the entire mixing and mastering work, which bears his signature.”

“‘Vapaan tahdon sirpaleet’ is the first puzzle piece from the upcoming album “Metamorfoosi” which thematically explores transformations of both individuals and humanity as a whole.”

NUUTTI HANNULA RADIANSSI is a band that plays progressive metal music, combining impactful riffs, catchy vocal melodies, and a vivid atmosphere that all come together in long and winding structures. The band’s Finnish-language lyrics deal with fundamental questions of the human mind and represent a wide range of emotions, forming a clear whole.

The band’s new single ‘Valtameri’, is released today, on May 5th. The single is a multi-part composition that progresses like a story, and its lyrics deal with confronting difficult emotions and letting go of them and it deals with letting go of difficult emotions, releasing oneself, and the deeper nature of the self from a meditative and Jungian perspective. Musically, the song grows to massive proportions and includes numerous different parts, forming a musical story. The song’s atmosphere has also been the inspiration for the lyrics.

Nuutti tells the story behind the single:
“Valtameri speaks about how difficult it is to confront old traumas face to face, and how, despite the fear, facing them can be the best thing a person can do for themselves.
The lyrics of the song ask: can I let go of this battle against the past? What happens if I let this part of myself die?

The inspiration for the lyrics came from my personal exploration of the shadow self introduced by Carl Jung, as well as the merging of these analytical thoughts into my own meditation practice, which has acted as a catalyst between the unconscious and conscious mind.

The lyrics also address the nature of the human self. Is there a permanent self, or is it an optical illusion that disappears upon closer examination? However, we cannot act without our own personality, and in every moment, we choose consciously or unconsciously a perspective through which we view the world. This labyrinth of perspectives is the foundation upon which humanity is built, and it has no beginning or end.

The composition of the song came about when I discovered an interesting chord on my guitar and combined it with a pattern that follows a 23/8 time signature. This pattern, which appears at the beginning of the song, evoked a unique marine atmosphere that complemented the composition.

The structure of the song is meandering and reflects the ocean, which is sometimes calm, but at other times is caught in a violent storm. After the storm, however, the ocean returns to tranquility.”

In addition to the band leader Nuutti Hannula, the band includes keyboardist Ilari Hannula and guitarist Matias Lehtoranta, who also handles the band’s mixing and mastering.
