Finnish pagan/black metal artist Vermilia has released a music video for her latest single, "Kansojen Kaipuu", taken from her forthcoming album Karsikko, which will be released in early 2025. The video was filmed by Jenni Koo and Vermilia, produced by Somnia, and directed by Vermilia herself. Aerial footage was captured by Laaksonniemi in the scenic Häme region, adding a striking visual element to the song's atmosphere.
Vermilia comments: “Everything can end in a moment. We travel from birth to death, carrying intergenerational experiences. This moment is important, and this is what mankind should respect.” Link
