NEWS: Se, Josta Ei Puhuta hear the gods!

Finnish Blackened Melodic Death Metal band Se, Josta Ei Puhuta are watching the clock in fear as their fourth studio album, “Syvyyden portit on saatava auki” (or “The gates of the deep must be opened“) is set for a 29th May arrival via Inverse Records. The third chapter in ‘Muinaiset jumalat kuuntelevat‘ (or “The ancient gods are listening“) is gracing us with its early presence.

The band comments: “When the shadows grow, they light your path, but too close their radiance will blind you. Ancient gods will hear when you are ready. Great masters will see if you are ready. Muinaiset jumalat kuuntelevat is a call and a trial. It is a song where darkness is no longer something to escape, but something to kneel before. Where Varis proclaims and warns, this song takes it one step further, into the moment where the listener stands alone and is forced to answer.

The song builds layer by layer, mid-tempo and oppressive, like a ritual tightening its grip. Heavier surges and breathing spaces alternate until everything is pressed into a single movement that cannot be stepped away from. The atmosphere does not explode, it presses down and lingers.

In this world, liberation is not gentle. It demands sacrifice, marks carved into the skin, and a decision that cannot be undone. Ancient forces do not guide, they watch, they listen, and they wait. And when the moment comes, they take what is theirs. Muinaiset jumalat kuuntelevat is a song about surrender. About the moment when you realize the question is no longer whether you want in, but whether you are ready.”
