About PROGENY OF SUN

Blackened death metal band from Seinäjoki/Vaasa/Turku/Helsinki, Finland. Formed in 2017. Ripped from their Facebook page: Progeny of Sun's fundamental ideology, lyrics and themes circle around satanism, freedom, individualism as well as stand against the by- products of religion. Lastly on the menu is mental health mixed with some theatrical twists. In the same vein the band name Progeny of Sun is an allusion to people who have a desire to pray and devote themselves to something external. These people are the ones who blindly follow orders, do as they are told, don't dare to think for themselves and act out of fear. In the beginning Progeny of Sun was a two-man band formed by Jaakko Hautamäki and Niko Aroma. Jaakko was responsible for instrumentals, mixing and mastering, and Niko handled vocals, lyrics, media etc. The songs Jaakko introduced were very versatile. Some had speed, some were slow, some painted a picture with their atmosphere, and some were more straightforward bangers. Despite the diversity in style everything worked exceptionally well in tandem and from this premise the band started to develop and pave its own way forward. To start with Progeny of Sun created a 6 song self- titled EP and discovered the music they do is met with great reception. They also found a very good publisher for the EP from Inverse Records. The duo behind the band did all the mixing, mastering, videos and artwork themselves. The project as a whole was very fun and rewarding to work with. After the EP release Jaakko and Niko began to think that something more was still needed. They still had the burning desire to go and spread their music around the world but with 2 people it would've been impossible. Subsequently Jaakko found 2 guys who were local musicians around Seinäjoki area: Joni Kiviniemi (guitar) and Juha Peura (drums). Joni and Juha were at first taken on board just to offer vision and play their assigned instrument for new material. Soon however it began to feel like they are a part of the family, and so it was decided that they will be full-fledged members in the squad and become a part of the band's story. Not long after Tuomo Tolkki (bass) was also welcomed to join in, so in matter of few months the full line up was formed. The first release with the full line up involved, a 3 track EP 'Dark Wanderer', was released in 2021. Next in line was single releases Worthless and Anguish which were released in spring 2022. Songs Eclipse, Worthless and Anguish are currently or have been featured in Spotify's Black & Dark Metal editorial playlist. Eclipse and Worthless have already gained 5-figure streaming stats each, and our newest creation Anguish is in the same path as it crossed the 1k mark in only first 5 days of its existence.
