Background
[edit | edit source]On 5 September 2018, the band published the track listing and shared the cover art. Before releasing the album, they released three singles: "Elämänlanka" on 16 May 2018,[2] "Enkelinmurskain" on 7 September, and "Gaian lapsi" on 11 October. The band's lyricist Antti Hyyrynen described the album as "wander[ing] through the big topics of a human's life" and speaking "of the unachievable nature of life".[3]
