Radien have released Unenharmaa, the first song from Tuntematon, which Argonauta Records put out early next year.
The band call what they do experimental doom and Metal Archives files them under sludge, and both are defensible: the weight is sludge, the pacing is doom, and the Finnish language does the rest of the work. Everything they have released has been in Finnish, which for a band on an Italian label is a decision rather than a default.
It is their first new music in three years. Unissa palaneet came out in 2023 and Syvyys in 2018, with EPs and a split between them, and the band have been going since 2014 in Helsinki.
One thing did change in the meantime. Ville Saarinen took over the drums this year after Tuomo Lehtinen left, and Mikko Poutanen came back to the guitar in 2024 after six years away, so the band making the third album is not quite the band that made the second.
No date beyond early 2027, and no tracklist yet.
