Background information about 'Uumen'

When four former members of much loved but sadly disbanded Finnish metal act GHOST BRIGADE got together for a conversation in their hometown Jyväskylä in late 2020, things escalated quickly into an unexpected direction that ultimately led to the birth of CERESIAN VALOT. With multiple 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, with the sound of the debut album "Uumen" ("Depths") turning out as stylistically very dynamic and multidimensional with a broad range of sound and vision that include alternative, rock, progressive, and various genres of metal among others.

Written in Finnish language, the lyrics on this album circle around the theme of insecurity. While the album often sounds bleak and melancholic, its lyrics do not only dwell in doom and gloom, but they also offer some hope and a light at the end of the tunnel – although it might appear to be rather dim. As CERESIAN VALOT include songwriters, graphic designers, producers, mixing & recording engineers, and even a mastering engineer in their ranks, it is hardly a surprise that the band employs a strong DIY-ethos. With "Uumen", CERESIAN VALOT embark on an exciting new musical journey that weds 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!
