Vocalist-guitarist Viljami Jupiter Wenttola comments:
“Burn is an intensely personal song for me, and heavily inspired by my personal experiences of dealing with the mental illness of a loved one. When faced with a reality altering mental illness, one often feels like running into a brick wall. No two days are the same, and the words that seemed to get through yesterday aren’t connecting today. It leads to frustration, anger and resentment among a plethora of other feelings. Together combined the feelings become a storm that blows through, leaving inner destruction in its wake.”
This song is about all of the above, knowing that going against the storm is futile, but still demanding at least something for all the uninvited suffering you’ve gone through. It’s about being at the end of one’s tether and reaching
the point of no return, about having to make incredibly difficult decisions even if it means collateral damage.
Finland is known as the land of Metal, but so far has yet to offer the world a breakthrough Progressive Metal act. Joviac has been working tirelessly since 2017 to change that. With the singular vision of combining the compositional freedom of progressive music, the full range of human emotion, addictive hooks and crafty arrangements, the end result is a versatile and deep marriage of catchy riffs and melodies with a conceptual and thoughtful twist.
Joviac is a seasoned live band with countless shows under its belt and looking to branch out globally in a BIG way.
The band has released two albums to date with the latest full-length “Here And Now” reaching the #8 spot on the official Finnish charts for physical albums!
