Since their formation in 2012, Kaunis Kuolematon has steadily built a unique soundscape that resonates far beyond genre borders. Blending crushing heaviness with emotional depth, the band has become a powerful voice in Finland’s metal scene — and with this new record, they continue to refine their distinct blend of melancholy and intensity.

Hailing from Hamina, the band has maintained its original lineup from the very beginning – a rarity in today’s music world. Their previous albums, “Kylmä kaunis maailma” (2014), “Vapaus” (2017),”Syttyköön toinen aurinko” (2020), and “Mielenvalta” (2023), each reflect a moment in time – evolving yet always consistent in vision.

While often associated with doom and death metal, Kaunis Kuolematon’s identity goes beyond genre labels. Their outlook remains fundamentally positive and forward-looking. The success of “Mielenvalta” (2023, Noble Demon) – which reached #6 on the official Finnish physical album charts – along with sold-out club shows and strong festival appearances, shows how the band’s persistence and sincerity have resonated with fans.

Now, with “Kun Valo Minussa Kuoli” on the horizon, Kaunis Kuolematon is preparing to once again immerse listeners in a world where melancholy reigns – and every note tells a story of beauty within darkness.

“Kun Valo Minussa Kuoli” will be coming out on November 28 via Noble Demon and is available for pre-order at THIS LOCATION
