Finnish melodic death metal band Suotana has released their new single, Twilight Stream, from their forthcoming fifth album, Ounas II, set for release on August 29, 2025, via Reaper Entertainment. The track, a soaring blend of melodic death metal, black metal atmospheres, and epic storytelling, is available for streaming and pre-saving, with pre-orders open for the album. Twilight Stream introduces the album’s narrative, centered on the mystical Sorcerer of Ounas and his quest through a fog-shrouded, otherworldly river, set against Finland’s northern landscapes.

Twilight Stream evokes the haunting beauty of Finland’s Ounasjoki River, weaving a tale of a sorcerer seeking truth through a twilight-lit forest. The track features guitar leads, atmospheric keyboards, and Ville Rautio’s dynamic vocals—ranging from guttural growls to soaring cleans. Lyrically, it explores themes of longing, rebirth, and mystical revelation, with lines like “Twilight, I’m waiting for you to lead the way / A way to the twilight stream.” The song’s production, expected to align with Ounas I’s crisp sound, highlights Suotana’s ability to balance aggression and melody, drawing comparisons to Insomnium and Omnium Gatherum.
Ounas II continues the conceptual journey begun with 2021’s Ounas I, delving deeper into Finnish mythology and the spiritual essence of Lapland’s wilderness. The album promises intricate compositions, lush orchestrations, and a narrative arc centered on the Sorcerer of Ounas. While full tracklisting and production details are forthcoming, Twilight Stream suggests a blend of melodic death metal’s ferocity with blackened atmospheres and progressive flourishes. The album follows Through the Mammoth Valley (2023) and is expected to solidify Suotana’s growing reputation in the melodic death metal scene.
Suotana will join Finnish melodic death metallers Wolfheart and Before the Dawn for a 17-date European tour, kicking off September 25, 2025, in Utrecht, Netherlands, and concluding October 13, 2025, in Munich, Germany. The tour supports Ounas II and offers fans a chance to experience Twilight Stream live alongside Suotana’s earlier hits like Land of the Ending Time.
Formed in 2005 in Rovaniemi, Finland, Suotana blends melodic death metal with black and power metal influences, crafting emotive soundscapes inspired by Lapland’s stark beauty. Their discography includes Frostrealm (2015), Land of the Ending Time (2018), Ounas I (2021), and Through the Mammoth Valley (2023). Known for their poetic lyrics and cinematic arrangements, they’ve toured with Kalmah and Reaper Entertainment acts like Bloodred Hourglass. The current lineup features Ville Rautio (vocals), Pasi Porta (guitars), Tommi Neitola (guitars), Rauli Juopperi (drums), Tuomo Marttinen (bass), and Aleksi Keränen (keyboards).
