Hybrid Metal group Keoma, founded in 2008, has returned and released a new single called “Contact“. The single nicely combines joyful melody and the suddenly changing moods that the band has followed throughout its existence – a unique, original style breaking genre boundaries.
“The roots of the song are strongly in the 2010s, when we started working on this, but it was never finished. We recently went through demos together and the demo of this song rekindled our interest. I also immediately came up with the idea that the song could talk about today’s problem: Although technology makes communication easier between two people, communication still often seems more difficult than when you used to call your friends on a landline in the ‘are you coming out’ type of way.” Jasse Jatala, responsible for the band’s vocals and lyrics, describes.
Keoma has been working hard on their third album, which also marks the return of the original singer, Jasse Jatala, to the band’s line-up. The album is scheduled to be released later this year. By following the bands social media you will be on top of things to come.
“In 2019 I left the band due to many different coincidences, a moment later I realized that I had made one of the biggest mistakes of my life. The band had given me so much all those years and our friendship grew cold. In 2022 I got a call from my best friend, the band’s drummer, asking if I could come back and continue with a clean slate? Fate had taken the reins and I immediately said YES. Now, looking back, you can say that time also cleared the air and we are a more united band than ever – You can really feel and hear that on our upcoming album, which has no shortage of hit choruses, heavy topics about life, hooky riffs and a hypnotically captivating feeling.” Jatala sums up.
