Uumen - Digipak CD

When four former members of the much-loved but sadly disbanded Finnish metal act GHOST BRIGADE got together for a chat in their hometown of Jyväskylä in late 2020, things quickly escalated in an unexpected direction that ultimately led to the birth of CERESIAN VALOT. With several songwriters in their new band, as well as two vocalists singing in Finnish, guitarist and main songwriter Wille Naukkarinen was confident that the musical style of the new band would change all by itself. Time proved him right, as the sound of the debut album "Uumen" ("Depths") turned out to be stylistically very dynamic and multidimensional, with a wide range of sounds and visions, including alternative, rock, progressive and various genres of metal, among others. Written in Finnish, the album's lyrics revolve around the theme of uncertainty. While the album often sounds dark and melancholic, the lyrics do not only dwell on doom and gloom, but also offer some hope and a light at the end of the tunnel - even if it seems rather dim. With CERESIAN VALOT including songwriters, graphic designers, producers, mixing & recording engineers and even a mastering engineer, it is hardly surprising that the band has a strong DIY ethos. With "Uumen", CERESIAN VALOT embark on an exciting new musical journey that combines something old, something new, something borrowed, something dark and a golden talent for captivating melodies in their hands: Surrender to the unknown and enjoy its beauty!
