There are a plethora of influences in Joviac’s music ranging from the obvious progressive metal examples to arena acts like Toto! Of all the songs on Joviac’s upcoming album, Canvas is definitely the song where all of the wonderfully cheesy, saccharine AOR vibes that frontman/composer Viljami Jupiter Wenttola has absorbed from bands like Toto, Journey and Boston come into play the most. Without forgetting to throw Joviac’s own sound and spice into the mix of course!

“Canvas is definitely one of those songs where I instantly felt a story in my head take shape and it just pulled me in. There have been countless times where I’ve figuratively (and perhaps literally) bashed my head against a wall for lengthy periods of time when trying to figure out a concept for a song. Canvas was the complete opposite. I remember when I started feeling out the verse parts, this story of a young woman just came to my head. She felt like she was trapped in the small town where she was from. That she was like a bird trapped in a cage, but she had one form of escape. Every time she would paint and let her emotions flow free, her anxieties and that cage would let her go. In the end her canvas shows her a world beyond her cage, and she’s able to leave that town behind.”  –Viljami Jupiter Wenttola

Finland is known as the land of metal, but so far has yet to offer the world a breakthrough progressive metal act. Joviac has been working tirelessly since 2017 to change that. With the singular vision of combining the compositional freedom of progressive music, the full range of human emotion, addictive hooks and crafty arrangements, the end result is a versatile and deep marriage of catchy riffs and melodies with a conceptual and thoughtful twist.
Joviac is a seasoned live band with countless shows under its belt and looking to branch out globally in a BIG way.
The band has released two albums to date with the latest full-length
“Here And Now” reaching the #8 spot on the official Finnish charts for physical albums!

Vocalist-guitarist Viljami Jupiter Wenttola comments:
“Burn is an intensely personal song for me, and heavily inspired by my
personal experiences of dealing with the mental illness of a loved one.
When faced with a reality altering mental illness, one often feels like running
into a brick wall. No two days are the same, and the words that seemed to
get through yesterday aren’t connecting today. It leads to frustration, anger
and resentment among a plethora of other feelings. Together combined the
feelings become a storm that blows through, leaving inner destruction in its
wake.” 

This song is about all of the above, knowing that going against the storm is
futile, but still demanding at least something for all the uninvited suffering
you’ve gone through. It’s about being at the end of one’s tether and reaching
the point of no return, about having to make incredibly difficult decisions
even if it means collateral damage.

Vocalist-guitarist Viljami Jupiter Wenttola comments:
”“I wanted to write a catchy and unashamedly hopeful and positive song. There’s plenty of darkness out there, so when I have light and beauty in my heart, I try to let it shine through.” 

Shine is an affirmation. It’s about reminding yourself that no matter what life throws at you, you have what it takes to make it through. Nothing is out of reach and above all, you had everything you needed inside of you all along. We all need help and support, but in the end they’re there to amplify and show you the light that was within you from the start.
Like the lyrics state: “fix your gaze on any goal, the key is just do as you do.”
