Finnish psychedelic space rock trio Skyjoggers have unveiled “Ancient Steel”, the first single from their upcoming sixth studio album, Frag Nicht Nach Sonnenschein, set for release on 13 November 2026 via Sound of Liberation Records.
“Ancient Steel” presents Skyjoggers’ original brew of fast paced Plutonic space rock at its finest. A relentless blast of fuzz-drenched riffs, cosmic energy and driving grooves, the song offers the first glimpse into the band’s next chapter while celebrating a decade of Skyjoggers.
Written during an intense period of touring across Europe, Frag Nicht Nach Sonnenschein continues the darker and heavier sonic direction established on the band’s previous album, 12021: Post-Electric Apocalypse. The record promises an immersive journey through psychedelic riffs, deep-space grooves and uncompromising sonic destruction.
Recorded in February 2026 at the band’s own studio in Tampere, Finland, Frag Nicht Nach Sonnenschein was recorded and produced by Skyjoggers, mixed by Anssi Vättö and mastered by Janne Hakanen. Watch out for more album details, pre-orders and tour dates to be revealed in the weeks ahead!
“Newtonin Kanuuna” is the new single and video from Tampere, Finland-based space/psych rock trio Skyjoggers, the latest single from the band’s new LP “12021: Post-Electric Apocalypse”, nearing early May release on Supernatural Cat, the label formed by the Malleus Rock Art Collective and members of Ufomammut.
Fusing the exhilarating elements of space rock and psychedelic soundscapes, Skyjoggers‘ music captures the essence of cosmic exploration, characterized by hypnotic riffs and an experimental approach that pushes boundaries. With a focus on dynamic performances and rich instrumental textures, Skyjoggers invites listeners on a journey through uncharted musical territories.
On Skyjoggers’ “12021: Post-Electric Apocalypse”, the band focuses on themes such as death, loss, and despair. The writing of the album took place during the pandemic, forest fires in the Amazon, and wars around the planet; The band took inspiration from such themes trying to channel the hard topics into something beautiful shining a ray of hope and light into the world through music. The album showcases the heaviest side of Skyjoggers heard to this day, bringing elements of black and doom metal into the band’s unique mix of modern space rock.
“12021: Post-Electric Apocalypse” was recorded at Soundwell Studios, Espoo by Janne Hakanen who also took over mastering duties, with additional recordings by Johannes Latva in Soossila, Tampere, and was mixed by Niko Lehdontie. Malleus Rock Art Collective handled the artwork and design.
With the “Newtonin Kanuuna” single, the band writes, “Newton’s cannonball was a thought experiment Isaac Newton used to hypothesize that the force of gravity was universal, and it was the key force for planetary motion.”
“12021: Post-Electric Apocalypse” will be released on CD, LP, and digital platforms on May 2nd. Preorders for all formats are live through Supernatural Cat at this location: https://bit.ly/skyjoggers_preorder
