Finnish metal band Negaatio to release debut album in April - Mania single out now!

Finnish metal band Negaatio is set to release their debut album 'Mieleni Murtama' on April 10th 2026 via Inverse Records. The fourth and final single 'Mania' is unleashed today and it's available on all major streaming services.

Jani (vocals) and Petrus (bass, backing vocals) share some background on the track "Mania":
Petrus: "We all have the potential in life to drive ourselves absolutely stir-crazy over some hellish obsession. It might not show on the outside if you build concrete walls around your inner world—then suddenly, you find yourself running head-first into them, driven by a force you can't control."
Jani: "A fake smile might stretch across your face, but you're still being strangled by your own necktie as your inner world and obsessions push you to the brink of madness without a moment's rest."
Petrus: "In a situation like that, a person can push themselves right to the edge, and it's terrifying. It's not just your health that's being weighed, but your entire reality and humanity. These are the themes we wanted to portray in 'Mania.' "
