Finnish melodic death metal act Noumena has released their new single “Tyhjyys” (The Void), the third single from their upcoming album Maanääri, set for release this August. The release is accompanied by a music video.
The track dives deep into a world defined by uncertainty and loneliness. Its fragile, beautiful melodies combined with crushing riff barrages carry an overwhelming weight of sorrow, disappointment, and even fury. The song’s relentless drive leaves no room for the listener to waver.
“It is a captivating and atmospheric piece about the search for a lost connection,” describes guitarist Markus Hirvonen. “The acoustic intro riff was born during a sleepless night when I let the feeling of emptiness and sorrow flow directly into the guitar. While jamming alone in my house, the phrase ‘Tyhjyydessä kaikuu taas’ (In the void, it echoes again) came to mind, and the whole song and its parts began to build around it as if by itself.”
The lyrics were written in collaboration by Hirvonen and bassist Hannu Savolainen. The track’s striking three-vocalist arrangements were crafted together in the rehearsal room as a result of the band’s collective creative process.
Guitarist Ville Lamminaho oversaw the concept and production of the “Tyhjyys” music video, continuing the band’s self-directed visual journey following their previous video, Surunkehrä. The video weaves elements of emptiness, longing, and rage into a dark narrative where love leads astray and dreams are buried one by one.
