Metal band Stam1na, which has been awarded seven Emma awards during its career and is celebrating its 30th anniversary, is releasing new music. The first single Golem was released in December.
“Golem is about a crushing feeling of powerlessness. But if anything, our band was able to make a song like this. The mere silence and looking away is monstrous in itself,” describes lyricist-singer-guitarist Antti Hyyrynen and continues:
“The Apnea album is about breathing and sudden loss. It also tells about the dreaminess of human life and unspoken speech.”
The song Golem was composed by Pekka Olkkonen. “Golem is the first song I wrote after the X album and I think it was the first demo for the Apnea album. I named the demo “Sirius” after a late friend. I believe that there is something in the song for everyone, something familiar and something new.”
The band’s 11th album, Apnea, will be released on February 20, 2026. The album was produced by Stam1na together with Julius Mauranen (Viitasen Piia, Oranssi Pazuzu).
Stam1na will start the Käärmeennyrkki 2026 tour in support of their new album on March 6, 2026.
