Ceresian Valot - Uumen (2025)


Uumen, translating to "depths" in Finnish, is a compelling debut that delves into themes of insecurity and introspection. Sung entirely in Finnish, the album weaves a tapestry of melancholic melodies and heavy riffs, drawing comparisons to bands like Katatonia and Opeth. Tracks such as "Pohjavirtauksia" showcase the band's ability to blend sludgy heaviness with melodic sensibilities, while "Karavaaniseralji" stands out with its dynamic shifts and engaging guitar work. Critics have praised the album's atmospheric depth and emotional resonance, noting its successful fusion of various metal subgenres into a cohesive whole.

Oddleaf’s debut album, Where Ideal and Denial Collide , is a fresh entry in progressive rock, combining lush, symphonic elements with retro influences from bands like Camel and Renaissance. The album, produced and recorded with exceptional attention to sonic detail, explores themes of environmentalism and human disconnection from nature, creating a rich narrative across its six tracks. Musically, the album mixes haunting flute lines, Mellotron textures, and dynamic shifts between electric and acoustic instrumentation, with standout vocals from Adeline Gurtner that are both emotive and ethereal. Tracks like “Life” and “Back in Time” balance infectious, vintage-inspired melodies with introspective lyrics, giving the album a timeless yet urgent feel.
