The four-piece extreme metal act Enemies Everywhere release the single ’Atonement’ today. It is the second release with the new singer Sasu Mikkola, and continues to reinforce the new direction of the band set by the single ‘Undead Masquerade’. The song’s dark ambience intertwines with an infectious groove, being true to what it really is: raw and unforgiving deathcore.
”Atonement is the brainchild of our producer, Atte. He approached the band with the demo, complete with arrangements, riffs, and production elements. We thought it best to let him complete his vision, so we gave him free reign with the lyrics as well. After we collectively agreed that the song was a good fit for the record, Atte and Otso went to work on perfecting the final sound. It was after Atte sat Otso down and told him to reach deep into the darkest corners of his mind that the song fully came to life. Otso undoubtedly laid down some of his most compelling guitar work to date – and it shows”, the band tells and continues:
”The verse riff draws strong influence from the death metal scene, where Otso draws much of his inspiration from. Incorporating all the hallmarks of deathcore – choirs, orchestras, blast beats, and more – Atonement is the perfect blend of old meets new.”

Enemies Everywhere, founded in 2022, has quickly emerged as one of the most promising names in Finland’s extreme metal scene. The band released their ferociously brutal debut EP, Endless Discord, in September 2024 via Ranka Kustannus, immediately generating buzz in metal circles both in Finland and internationally. Following the departure of their previous vocalist and the arrival of Sasu in 2025, the band has focused on finalizing their debut album, scheduled for release this fall, while continuing to tour across Finland. Ahead of the summer festival season, they will embark on a short tour in the Baltics and Poland, and perform an exclusive headlining show in Helsinki.
