The Helsinki-based experimental doom outfit return with a haunting new track, available now on all digital platforms, ahead of their new album TUNTEMATON due in early 2027 via Argonauta Records.
Finnish experimental doom force Radien unveil their brand-new single “Unenharmaa”, available now on all major digital streaming platforms. The track offers the first glimpse into the band's forthcoming full-length album, scheduled for release in early 2027 through Argonauta Records.
Stream “Unenharmaa” below:
With “Unenharmaa”, Radien invite listeners into a vast and unsettling sonic dimension, where crushing heaviness, dissonant textures and eerie atmospheres converge. True to the band's distinctive approach, the track unfolds as an immersive journey through cosmic darkness, exploring the fragile boundaries between existence, the unknown and the infinite.
Describing the track's narrative, the band explains:
“Unenharmaa sees the album's wandering protagonist pass through the fabric of the cosmos in a dreamlike state and experience an absolute transformation as they approach the event horizon and allow themselves to connect with the unknown void.”
Formed in Helsinki in 2014, Radien have spent over a decade developing a formidable sonic identity, merging monolithic doom riffs, droning passages and ghostly melodies into an overwhelming wall of sound. With “Unenharmaa”, the band opens the door to their next creative chapter, offering a first glimpse of what promises to be their most immersive journey yet.
Mixed and mastered by Grammy Award-winning producer Marc Urselli, TUNTEMATON promises to take Radien's immersive sonic universe to even darker and more extreme territories.

BIOGRAPHY/LOGO
Radien is a Finnish sludge metal band formed in Helsinki in 2014. Known for their crushingly heavy riffs, haunting atmospheres and experimental approach to extreme music, the band combines elements of sludge, doom, drone and blackened metal into a dark and immersive sound.
Drawing inspiration from the depths of the human mind and the natural world, Radien creates compositions that move between oppressive heaviness, hypnotic repetition and eerie atmospheric passages. Their music frequently incorporates unconventional instrumentation, synthesizers, noise and throat singing, giving their sound a distinctive and unsettling character.
The band released their debut EP, Maa, in 2016, followed by their first full-length album, Syvyys, in 2018. The latter established Radien's reputation within the underground doom and sludge scene through its slow-moving, monolithic compositions and bleak atmosphere. Their 2019 EP, Aste, further expanded their musical palette with additional experimental elements.
In May 2023, Radien released their second full-length album, Unissa palaneet, through Svart Records. Mixed by Sanford Parker and mastered by James Plotkin, the album featured guest appearances by Dylan Walker of Full of Hell, Mike Paparo of Inter Arma and Italian multi-instrumentalist Lili Refrain.
The album explores apocalyptic visions, prophetic dreams and humanity's eventual destruction through the forces of nature. Musically, it represents a significant evolution from the band's earlier material, introducing more dynamic arrangements, expansive soundscapes and an even greater contrast between atmospheric passages and overwhelming heaviness.
Throughout their career, Radien have shared the stage with artists including Full of Hell, Inter Arma, Dopethrone and Barren Womb, establishing themselves as a distinctive presence in the Finnish underground metal scene.
Following further lineup changes in 2025 and 2026, Radien entered another chapter of their musical development. The band has also confirmed work on a forthcoming album produced, mixed and mastered by Marc Urselli, continuing their exploration of crushing heaviness and experimental soundscapes.
