What's New: Vermilia
Vermilia’s "Veresi": A Bloody Good Anthem for Existential Meltdowns or Just Another Folk Whimper?
Alright, folks, grab your black lace handkerchiefs and a sturdy mug of mead—Vermilia’s back, and she’s here to make you ugly-cry while headbanging. The Finnish enchantress just dropped “Veresi”, a single so haunting it’s basically the musical equivalent of staring into a frostbitten fjord at midnight. Think Game of Thrones meets your therapist’s notebook, with a side of “why are we even here, man?”
Let’s cut to the chase: “Veresi” isn’t just a song. It’s a Nordic noir poem set to strings and synths, weaving bloodlines, mortality, and the kind of existential dread that hits harder than a Helsinki winter. Vermilia’s voice? Pure witchcraft—delicate as a snowflake one second, roaring like a Valkyrie the next. And those lyrics? “Melancholic yet profound” is code for “you’ll text your ex at 2 AM after hearing this.”
The video, directed by Jenni Koo and Vermilia herself, is a moody masterpiece. We’re talking misty forests, cryptic runes, and aerial shots so epic they’d make Lord of the Rings blush. Edited by Somnia, it’s got a vibe so eerie it’d make a Viking ghost shiver.

Now, the album: “Karsikko” drops February 14, 2025. Valentine’s Day? Bold move. Nothing says romance like pondering death over folk metal, am I right? The tracklist (“Suruhymni”, “Koti”, “Talven jälkeen”—try saying that three times fast) reads like a spellbook, and I’m here for it.

Vermilia? She’s the real deal. “Veresi” isn’t just music—it’s a spiritual side-eye to mortality, wrapped in melodies that’ll stick to your soul like pine resin.
Will “Karsikko” be the genre-defining masterpiece we crave, or just a pretty collection of campfire chants? Time’ll tell. But for now, crank “Veresi”, let your inner nihilist dance, and whisper a thank-you to your ancestors for this gift.
