The debut album of the band Himmelkraft, which was revealed last year, will be released on March 7th, and now this secret society led by Tony Kakko is releasing a new single from the album, ‘Paika’. The song also features Johanna Kurkela and JP Leppäluoto, and the video for the song can be watched here.
While Himmelkraft naturally includes elements of both Kakko’s and the rest of the Himmelkraft crew’s musical history, Himmelkraft has also unleashed Tony Kakko’s storytelling to a whole new level.
“Himmelkraft is its own world, and we’ve only managed to scratch the surface of it. I wanted to explore something new and surprising with the new album. My own musical taste is far too broad to be squeezed into one compartment. The single Paika is a good example of this – dark, atmospheric and full of emotions,” Kakko describes.
The first single from the upcoming album, named after the band ‘Uranium’ was released later this year, accompanied by a lyric video.
The upcoming record will also be accompanied by special editions, such as a deluxe version decorated with a wax seal and a two-LP package, one of which glows in the dark! The making of the album has also been packaged as The Stories book, where fans can dive into the album’s stories. See all packages now here.
