Finnish metal act Kaksonen‘s second album Valo-olento (Beign of Light) deals with the duality of humanity and the world around us. On the one hand, we are burdened by the ongoing ecological disasters, the intergenerational baggage of trauma and guilt, and the vastness of the universe in general. On the other hand, the world is full of beauty, spiritual complexities and wonders of the extraordinary cycles of life and spirit. These are the counter-forces that seek balance both within us and in the perceived universe. Both sides — black and white, shadow and light, evil and good — play an equally important role in the everlasting search for peace of mind.
Musically, Valo-olento evolves Kaksonen’s musical expression into its most varied and impressive form to date. Ranging from ripping thrash rhythms to monumental crushing, the band also seeks to interpret the diversity of the human experience through different emotional lenses.

Valo-olento (Being of Light) is the second album by the metal band Kaksonen (Antti Lähdesmäki – guitar & vocals, Ville Koskivaara – bass & vocals, Tuomo Rinkinen – drums, Miika Vainio – vocals & guitar) hailing from Äänekoski, Central Finland. The eight-track album is musically and thematically a natural follow-up to the 2023 album Universumin kuningas (The Emperor of the Universe).
