Octoploid Launch "Siren’s Lament" Lyric Video

OCTOPLOID, a Finnish 70s death prog outfit led by Olli-Pekka “Oppu” Laine, are about to embark on their 2025 Finland tour in support of their debut album Beyond The Aeons, which saw the light of day on July 5, 2024 through Reigning Phoenix Music. In their excitement for these nine headline dates, the group have now premiered a single titled "Siren’s Lament," which is accompanied by a brand new lyric video.

After the enormously well reception of Beyond The Aeons, Oppu continued writing material for its follow-up what - mercifully for all of us - resulted in this early new tune, showcasing the heavier aspects of OCTOPLOID’s heavenly varied soundscape. The song was recorded by bass player Laine alongside known band members Peter Salonen (guitars) and Mikko Pietinen (drums), who mixed the single before it was sent off to receive its mastering treatment by prestigious engineer Jacob Hansen at Hansen Studios, Denmark (AMORPHIS, VOLBEAT, PRIMAL FEAR, AMARANTHE etc.). Lead vocal duties were taken over by Marko Neuman (CONVOCATION, SUM OF R) for the first time in OCTOPLOID’s history; rounding off "Siren’s Lament" is keyboard wizardry by Antti Myllynen (a BARREN EARTH mate of Laine), who’s also a part of the group’s current touring line-up and skilfully complements Salonen’s solo parts.

“‘Siren’s Lament’ tells of a chaotic mind, isolation and loneliness. Despite its dark theme, the subject is viewed in a positive light: grief may linger, but it also allows space for acceptance and growth, offering hope that from a new beginning can rise from despair. Musically, the song incorporates influences from death metal, stoner rock, and even big arena rock choruses. It’s a groovy song with a lot of vibe, that’s why I can't wait for us to play the song live!” states Oppu.
