Tampere, Finland-based innovative space/psych rock trio Skyjoggers present their sixth LP, “12021: Post-Electric Apocalypse”, confirming the album for release on May 2nd, 2025, via Supernatural Cat, the label formed by the Malleus Rock Art Collective and members of Ufomammut.
Fusing the exhilarating elements of space rock and psychedelic soundscapes, Skyjoggers’ music captures the essence of cosmic exploration, characterized by hypnotic riffs and an experimental approach that pushes boundaries. With a focus on dynamic performances and rich instrumental textures, the band invites listeners on a journey through uncharted musical territories.
On “12021: Post-Electric Apocalypse”, the band focuses on themes such as death, loss, and despair. The writing of the album took place during the pandemic, forest fires in the Amazon, and wars around the planet; The band took inspiration from such themes trying to channel the hard topics into something beautiful shining a ray of hope and light into the world through music. The album showcases the heaviest side of Skyjoggers heard to this day, bringing elements of black and doom metal into the band’s unique mix of modern space rock.
“12021: Post-Electric Apocalypse” was recorded at Soundwell Studios, Espoo by Janne Hakanen who also took over mastering duties, with additional recordings by Johannes Latva in Soossila, Tampere, and was mixed by Niko Lehdontie. Malleus Rock Art Collective handled the artwork and design.
“We first met Ufomammut in Warsaw a few years ago while on our first European tour. We bonded over our shared love of music, art and screen printing”, the band reveals. “It was quite a surprise when they asked us if we’d be interested in releasing our next album through Supernatural Cat; we said yes right away”!
Urlo of Ufomammut, Supernatural Cat, and Malleus writes: “Sometimes we are really impressed by a band when Poia and I are on tour with Ufomammut. Skyjoggers were a bolt from the blue, watching them play really amazed us. And we are so happy that their amazing new album is coming out on Supernatural Cat”!
The album’s lead single, “Tessæil”, is a nearly thirteen-minute-long epic ride. “Polyrhythms, screeching guitars, and wailing sirens block out the sun and bring about an auditive nuclear Winter”, the band writes. “This massive track ends ‘12021: Post-Electric Apocalypse’ like a weapon of mass destruction; leaving nothing in its wake”.
