Double single arrives 7 November 2025
The title track crashes in alongside the B-side “One of Us Will Have To Die” for a chaos-soaked November release.
Sa:rki, broken. Sa:rki, a fish of the bottom-dwelling variety. Sa:rki, here to fill your ears with hardcore nonsense and make you question the insanity of everyday life, such as dealing with airport security and how crustaceans transformed from nutritional punishment to high-class delicacy.
Finland may be the happiest nation on earth, that's why us Finnish lads can afford to be the angriest when it comes to music.
Pre-save “Let the Rippendrop / One of Us Will Have To Die”
The double single drops 7 November 2025. Lock in your reminder so you’re first in the pit.
Sa:rki is the brainchild of 3 lads from Finland who together almost form a functional band. We love breakdowns, downtuned guitars, loud riffs, shouting and fucking around with perfectly good songs.
The first attempt to conquer the world was made at Iisti’s apartment in Vienna a couple hours before Leo’s and Jori’s flight back to Finland. This experiment sparked a fire to prepare the recording session a bit better and plan at least a couple bars (music) before going to a recording studio.
The next song was written and recorded in a dusty bomb shelter somewhere in Helsinki and since then we've tried making music remotely as well as internationally by invading Berlin to work on our first double single. We hope our musical rants and stories resonate with you as we continue to observe the crazy in the world and share it with you.
The sonic alchemist behind the band’s overall sound — responsible for the synths, programming, and making sure the chaos eventually turns into finished songs. Leo’s past life in the studio includes producing and mixing Snow White’s Poison Bite – The Story of Kristy Killings, whose tracks have been streamed millions of times, and Matthau Mikojan – Mania for Life, which earned a 4-star review in Soundi Magazine. When the band gets lost in ideas, Leo finds the “record” button.
With roots in Great Britain, Jori is the band’s lead vocalist and resident guitar wizard — an energetic force of nature whose lyrics and poetic stream never stop flowing. Master of breakdown math and guardian of every decibel we shouldn’t be using. If it grooves and grinds at the same time, it’s probably his fault.
Vienna-based multi-instrumentalist and sound explorer. A familiar face in the underground, Iisti has played with the Finnish folk group Tradikaali, touring across Finland, Germany, Canada, the USA, South Korea, and Russia — always finding new ways to make tradition sound dangerous.
