Finnish black metal -group Mourniaty has already pricked ears with their first two single releases, Kyynelten Virta & All Your Lies, sung respectively in Finnish and English.
On the third and final single preceding the Musta Maa -debut album (to be released on 7th of November through Inverse Records), the band yet again refuses to bow down before anyone building places of worship, but will rather see them fall with their shrines.

“The song is about the downfall of different religions without singling out any specific one, song writer Karulainen states.
So you better watch the skies at nighttime, since the stars will shine like the eyes of the serpentine!”
BIOGRAPHY:
When you get fed up with Christianity and Paganism starts to arouse your interest, interesting things are often created. Sometimes this process needs an accelerant, which is exactly what happened when Karulainen and Metällinen found themselves to be merged in the same family tree. Now, what else would fresh, Finnish relatives do but make aggressive noises together? This gave an outlet for the music Karulainen had already been writing.
Finnish Mourniaty began its life as a smoldering project already in 2015. It burst into raging fire five years later, when situations in life permitted concentrating on music full-time. When bass player Tenho joined the group in 2022, Mourniaty finally became a real band instead of two men with backing tracks.
Karulainen describes Mourniaty’s music as black metal, which combines mid-tempo grooves and even symphonic arrangements combined with lyrics sung in both Finnish and English, which revolve around themes of Paganism and Anti-Christianity. The debut album, “Musta maa” (Black Earth), will be released thru Inverse records on digital platforms and in cd-format in November of 2025. What a perfect soundtrack for the darkest season of the year.
