The new Finnish heavy alternative band (born out of the ashes of Ghost Brigade), Ceresian Valot, has unleashed another single, "Pohjavirtauksia" (Undertow), from its approaching debut full-length, Uumen, out on 23 May via Prophecy Productions.

Ceresian Valot's guitarist, Wille Naukkarinen, writes: "The heavy, sludgy, even a bit progressive but also very melodic track 'Pohjavirtauksia' is one of the most recent songs that I wrote for Uumen and my personal favourite on this album. When I wrote the first songs for Ceresian Valot, I gradually started lowering my guard and began embracing the idea that it's ok if some of them are reminiscent of my past. Before Ceresian Valot came into being, I was adamant that if I were ever to form a new band, it could not sound like anything that I had done before. It took me a while to realise that no matter how hard I try, my personal style will always be there. After all, I wrote 99% of the instrumental parts of Ghost Brigade, so there's no way I can escape my musical past. I finally decided to be proud of the past and let it shine through, if a song needs that, rather than trying to hide it. This makes 'Pohjavirtauksia' into one of the backbones of Uumen".

Vocalist Panu Perkiömäki adds, "Lyrically, 'Pohjavirtauksia' is a song about sorrow and consolation. The song tells two stories: one is about a lost and depressed soul, while the other speaks about Arowanas, which is a type of jumping fish that live in the Amazon River. The structure of my text is inspired by William Faulkner's novel The Wild Palms".
