Volucrine shares second single ‘Talk’ from upcoming album

Finnish modern metal band Volucrine are set to release their fifth album via Inverse Records on September 25th 2026. The second single ‘Talk‘ is unleashed now and it’s available on streaming services: https://push.fm/fl/volucrine-talk 

The band’s mastermind Jupe Velin comments:

“The words burn in my throat. It feels like a year has passed since the last time, even though barely a week has gone by. It took only a few encounters, and without a second thought, I handed over the keys to my mind. Then you stole my dreams, robbed me of my appetite, and cast a shadow over my view of the future. It’s tragicomic that the purpose of our meetings is to heal, not to shatter me further, yet I’m starting to feel like sawdust. Do you recognize any of this? I bite my lip so I don’t think out loud. 

You’re a potent medicine; you replace one form of anxiety with another. The remedy is addictive, and attraction turns into possessiveness. Feeding the addiction comes at the cost of healing. If only I were strong enough not to care, or cared enough not to turn regret into new trauma, adding to my list of psychological symptoms. I know our time is limited, but I want to finally tear down the fence. How will you respond when I cross that finish line and ask: “Shall we talk?”

Culmination! That’s the first word that comes to mind when listening to the Talk single with fresh ears. It perfectly combines Volucrine’s technical prowess, melodic flair, and storytelling, not to mention rock ’n’ roll! Does it annoy metal purists? Absolutely, but at the same time, it offers the most open-minded and life-hungry music fans a dose of alternative metal whose buzz lasts for weeks! You hear the song once, and the chorus melody immediately lodges itself between your ears like a peregrine falcon that’s a bit more territorial than usual!

The theme? Well, the song is about love in a way, though a self-destructive and one-sided kind. Even though the story doesn’t reveal what happened to the characters in the lyrics, I would still encourage everyone to always acknowledge when a bottled-up emotional life begins to poison their inner self. Life is far too short to spend our old age looking back and cursing the stones we didn’t turn over along the way. With pure words, the mouth sings of freedom!” 

VOLUCRINE are a Finnish alternative metal collective, who released their debut album in 2011. Four albums, two EP’s and countless live shows later, the band’s personal style has been honed to its peak, still emphasizing bold testing of boundaries within their genre. The band has a strong focuson their lyrics, which, due to their deeply personal nature, give Volucrine’s music a human voice.

After the ETNA LP (Inverse Records 2024), which garnered a lot of positive attention worldwide, the band is finally ready to present new material from their upcoming album, which will be released in the fall. With the theme of rebirth, we can expect the unexpected from this album as a great circle is closed.
