According to LOA’s manager, MARC JORDAN, “the album will feature vocals from a well known American female vocalist, known for her ground breaking stage presence and powerhouse vocals.”
This exciting announcement comes as the band gears up to release their highly anticipated new album, set to drop in 2025.

PHOTO REPORT: MELANCHOLY MASS 2024
Melancholy Mass 2024 at Olympia, Tampere November 23, 2024
Omnivortex began the night with an intensely energetic but not so melancholic show. Vermilia brought the mood down a few notches to a suitable level for a dark November evening. Their mysterious aesthetic and haunting but powerful vocals ran through the audience and filled the venue with a beautiful darkness. Kauan was a personal highlight, it was an unforgettable experience to see them for the first time and it seemed many felt the same. Although their set only included three songs, they filled their slot and the souls of the audience to the brim with an entrancing performance. I really hope they do some headlining gigs soon! Møl seemed to be an audience favorite, though their energy was a bit much after two more low key and sombre performances. Although they might have been better suited as the final act, they still were a perfect edition to this nights lineup. Kaunis Kuolematon continued the beautiful gloom of Finnish melancholic metal and ended the night on a sombre yet powerful note.
