WALTARI release "Murder Plot", the second single taken from the upcoming new studio album "Nations' Neurosis", released on May 16th on Metalville Records.
WALTARI reinvents Kordhell’s dystopian techno anthem "Murder Plot" with a fierce metal twist!
Blending crushing riffs, soaring vocals, and relentless energy, this genre-bending cover transforms the dark, hypnotic beats into an explosive sonic storm. With their signature fearless approach, Waltari bridges metal and electronic chaos, delivering a track that’s both electrifying and haunting and is a perfect fit for cover, metal and techno lists alike.
WALTARI has never been a band to follow the rules. With Nations' Neurosis, they once again prove that their signature blend of musical freedom, bold experimentation, and unfiltered expression is more relevant than ever.
At the heart of WALTARI’s sonic journey is Kärtsy Hatakka, the band’s mastermind and driving force. Handling lead and backing vocals, bass, programming, keyboards, and percussion, Hatakka faced a personal storm while crafting this album—losing his mother, enduring a painful breakup, and witnessing a world spiraling deeper into chaos and division. The frustration and emotional turmoil of this time seep into every note of Nations' Neurosis, making it one of WALTARI’s most charged and thought-provoking works to date. The album was recorded in three different Finnish studios and produced by countrymate Aleksanteri Kuosa and WALTARI itself (with exceptions in 2 of the 15 songs).
With a refreshed lineup, including the electrifying talents of guitarist Eero Nykänen and Jakke Setälä, alongside drummer Ville Vehviläinen, WALTARI finds new energy and a revitalized sound. The infusion of these new members has taken the band’s musical ideology to exhilarating heights, delivering an album that is both raw and sophisticated, aggressive yet melodic—a true testament to WALTARI’s spirit of innovation.
