Finnish metalcore veterans One Morning Left unveil their brand new single and video ‘Puppy’. The song has been selected to compete at UMK, Finland’s national selection for the Eurovision Song Contest 2025. The UMK song ‘Puppy’ is exactly what the name suggests. It is, very simply, about a puppy.
The band describes themselves as a hyperactive, boundary-pushing feel-good act. Their unique sense of humour sets them apart from other Nordic metal bands.
“Musically, we rely on the 80s and 90s, and we do not take ourselves too seriously. Sometimes, people look at you in a funny way if you mess around too much. You can dance to the beat of our music, and that’s fantastic,” vocalist Leevi Luoto says.
The band had been planning to apply for UMK for a long time. “We already spoke with our previous drummer that UMK would be a great experience. After meeting Kiro, who produced ‘Cha Cha Cha’ for Käärijä, we began to think about making an UMK song with him,” singer and founder Mika Lahti reveals. Käärijä placed second in 2023’s Eurovision Song Contest.
Finnish hair-metalcore eccentrics One Morning Left are back with a bang with the release of their highly anticipated new album, Neon Inferno, out today via Arising Empire. The album is a high-octane blend of the band’s signature sound with fresh, electrifying elements, including a guest feature from Olli Herman of Reckless Love.
In celebration, One Morning Left have released a thrilling new music video for the single, ‘Tokyo Love’, adding to the excitement surrounding the album. The track, with its infectious energy and bold sound, perfectly showcases the band’s dynamic fusion of 80s influences and modern metalcore.
Founded in 2008 in Vaasa, Finland, One Morning Left are well known for their unique blend of electro, hardcore and metalcore influences, as well as their entertaining and energetic live shows where absolutely anything can happen.
One Morning Left‘s fourth album, Hyperactive, marked their first new material in five years and began a whole new chapter in their story. Drawing inspiration from retro electronic and video game music, as well as 80s hard rock, the band stayed true to their heavier roots while exploring fresh musical territories.
Now, the band are set to continue this evolution with their upcoming album, Neon Inferno. This new album promises to build on the foundation laid by Hyperactive, further blending their eclectic influences into a high-energy, genre-defying sound.
Changes have occurred not only in their musical style but also in their lineup. Returning from the cast of 2016’s Metalcore Superstars are frontman Mika Lahti, singer-guitarist Leevi Luoto, and drummer Niko Hyttinen. Additional firepower is provided by new members Tuukka Ojansivu on guitar and Miska Sipiläinen on bass guitar, along with the return of keyboard player Touko Keippilä from the band’s original Panda ❤ Penguin lineup.
With Neon Inferno, the band invite fans to join them on their quest to make the world a bit more epic.
