UKKO, the second album by ATLAS, is a step in a new direction for the band … Read Full Bio ↴UKKO, the second album by ATLAS, is a step in a new direction for the band as they introduce a new sonic palette, drawing inspiration from Finnish folk music, poetry and incorporating it with the dark soundscapes and dynamic songwriting that the band is known for. Lyrically and thematically the UKKO-album explores themes of death, healing, rebirth, and faith with English and Finnish languages mixed seamlessly together. The album name UKKO honors the father figure of the band who passed away less than a year ago; a devastating tragedy for its members. UKKO is also a euphemism of the Finnish pre-christian mythological god of the sky, thunder, weather, and harvest.
"This is our way of honoring those we've loved and lost. Heavy looping rhythms, huge percussions, haunting atmospheres, dark soundscapes, and ominous melodies create an album that celebrates northern spirits. UKKO is a blend of something ancient combined with a cold and harsh perspective of these stray modern days. You could say that the album is a sacrifice to the old Finnish pagan gods." - (Tuomas Kurikka / guitar).
The album is mixed and mastered by Buster Odeholm (Vildhjarta, Oceano, Humanity's Last Breath, Born of Osiris) who brings his unique approach and sound to the album.
