After the icy fires of “Foreverland” ignited the path in August 2024, Finnish Melodic Death Metal torchbearers SUOTANA now unveil the next glimpse into their upcoming album “Ounas II”: the brand-new single “Twilight Stream”.
The track marks the second chapter in the “Ounas II” saga, continuing the band’s immersive journey through the mythic wilderness of Lapland and the boundless light of the Arctic summer. Carried by soaring melodies, pounding rhythms, and rich atmospheric layers, “Twilight Stream” channels the spiritual power of nature and rebirth.
The band comments: “The song tells a story of a dried-up river hidden in the coniferous forest. However, the spark of hope never left the river, as it returns to its former glory under an illuminating moon which guides crystal clear streams back to the riverbed. The sorcerer of Ounas steps forward and leads the listener to the forest of the twilight stream.”
A haunting visual companion to the single is now available as a music video, capturing the mystique and beauty of the twilight-bound landscapes that inspire the album.

“Ounas II” continues SUOTANA’s natural evolution, bringing together the essence of ancient Finnish beliefs, the raw beauty of the Arctic, and the boundless energy of Modern Melodic Metal.
Later this year, SUOTANA will bring OUNAS II to stages across Europe, joining forces with fellow Finnish heavyweights WOLFHEART and BEFORE THE DAWN, along with Greece’s FULL HOUSE BREW CREW, on a massive autumn tour across the continent.
