Waltari release new single and video “Diversity”

Waltari release “Diversity“, the next single taken from the upcoming new studio album “Nations’ Neurosis”, released on May 16th on Metalville.

The official video can be watched here 

Waltari’s new single “Diversity” is a powerful and deeply personal track that blends electronic soundscapes with raw lyrical emotion. As the ballad of the album, it serves as Kärtsy Hatakka’s “personal diary” of a difficult year, reflecting on personal loss and the overwhelming chaos of the current world—ranging from political instability to environmental disasters. Yet, amidst the darkness, there’s a strong call to action and a belief in human potential and common sense.

Musically, “Diversity” stands out as the most electronic track on the album, originating from an idea that dates back to Waltari’s Global Rock era. This time, Kärtsy pushed himself further as a rapper, bringing a fresh energy and transforming the track into a uniquely Waltari-style hip hop song.

To underline the song’s message and emphasize the surreal, artificial world we now live in, Waltari created the entire music video using AI—crafting hauntingly dystopian and apocalyptic imagery. Yet, despite the striking visuals, the band reminds us: no matter how impressive the artificial may seem, nothing compares to the raw beauty and truth of the real world and authentic human connection.

“Diversity” is not just a song—it’s a statement. A blend of art, message, and modern technology that reflects the spirit of a band that refuses to stop evolving.
