SUNNIVA Drop Hypnotic New Track "Valovaltimo" – A Finnish-Language Ode to Death & Unity
Finnish sludge/post-metal act Sunniva have unveiled their latest track, “Valovaltimo”, the third track from their upcoming debut album Hypostasis, due out September 19 via Violence In The Veins.
Sung in Finnish and Swedish, “Valovaltimo” (which translates to “Artery of light”) is a deep, hypnotic journey into the band’s signature blend of psychedelic repetition, crushing doom, and heavy atmospherics. The track builds slowly, creating a sense of mounting tension before culminating in a dramatic, almost spiritual conclusion.
The song’s lyrics are inspired by a vivid, unsettling dream experienced by the band’s lyricist: a vision of a massive black hole consuming everything—people, animals, buildings, trees, the very fabric of reality itself. “At first I felt dread as I floated toward it,” the lyricist recalls. “But then I saw animals heading toward it, accepting it without fear. There was a strange sense of calm, and that stayed with me.” The dream ultimately became a meditation on death, unity, and the idea that we are all interconnected, spiraling toward the same end.
The track also features guest vocals and lyrics by Lotta, the lead singer of SVARTA HAVET, who was inspired by the dream’s imagery to create her own contribution, adding a hauntingly ethereal layer to the song’s dramatic finale. Also Markus from CALLISTO joins the song with some stringed instrument magick.
About SunnivaFormed in Turku, Finland in 2016, Sunniva is a four-piece sludge/post-metal band whose members have previously played in Ravage Ritual, The Feral Young, and Tryer. With a sound that channels the heaviness of Neurosis, the atmosphere of Amenra, and the cosmic dread of Dark Buddha Rising, the band has created their own unique space within the realms of death doom, sludge, and post-metal.
Following the release of two EPs (The Holy Mountain, 2017 and S/T, 2020) and the 12-minute single This Reality Only Speaks In Blood (2018), Sunniva’s debut album Hypostasis is set to be their most ambitious offering yet.
"Mercurial Bloodstreams" is now available on major streaming platforms. The new album,
"Hypostasis" will be released on September 13, 2025 via Violence In The Veins, MinoRobscur and Svart Records.
