Finnish stoner/punk rock band Alkemia released their debut »Alkemia EP« via Inverse Records.

Alkemia’s debut EP recordings began in 2023 with drums, bass, and rhythm guitars tracked at the professional studio of Ammattiopisto Live in Espoo. The remaining guitar overdubs, solos, and vocals were recorded at the band’s rehearsal space in Helsinki.

The goal was to capture a live, groovy sound in the songs. Initial mixing difficulties were resolved by switching mixers, with the final mix completed by Ville Siikamäki. The EP aimed for a sound blending EyeHateGod and Bad Brains, keeping the overall vibe raw and rock-driven without overly polished details. The EP’s creation took time, as all good alcoholic – er, alchemical – processes do. There was no rush, and the band worked around other commitments, as they noted in their press release.

The band has no concrete plans for the future. Only to keep playing and writing new songs. Some gigs are also lined up for the fall, including the EP release show at Playhouse Bar in Helsinki on November 1st 2025.
