The band’s second single ‘Ruby Dragon’ is a song about self-improvement, overcoming depression and becoming the best version of yourself, opening their upcoming album with a bang.
“Mika wanted a song about the board game Labyrinth, so I adapted that to the themes above and had a great time writing this, even though the inspirations are.. heavy,” explains singer/guitarist Leevi Luoto.
Keyboardist Touko Keippilä continues: “‘Ruby Dragon’ was the culmination point in the album writing process, as it perfectly encapsulates what we aspire our new musical style to be like. Groovy, heavy riffs and clean, glistening synth work providing a platform for the two vocalists to deliver their lines with a raw and wild energy.”

ONE MORNING LEFT’s fourth album marks their first new material in five years. On Hyperactive the group begin a whole new chapter in their story, drawing inspiration from retro electronic and video game music, as well as 80’s hard rock, while staying true to their heavier roots.
Changes are happening not only in the musical style, but also in their line-up. Returning from the cast of 2016’s Metalcore Superstars are frontman Mika Lahti, singer/guitarist Leevi Luoto and drummer Niko Hyttinen. Additional firepower is provided by new faces Tuukka Ojansivu on guitar and Miska Sipiläinen on bass guitar, as well as the return-to-form of keyboard player Touko Keippilä from the band’s original Panda <3 Penguin line-up.
The album shapes up to be the artistic peak of ONE MORNING LEFT‘s musical “blood mountain”: epic lyrics carried by Luoto’s soaring vocal melodies, contrasted by the distinctive, gritty sound of Lahti, all accompanied by breathtaking keyboard leads, blisteringly fast guitars, masterful bass riffs and feverish drum parts.
With the release of Hyperactive, ONE MORNING LEFT look to add to their growing global fanbase. Having gathered extensive live performance experience playing countless shows in Finland, touring mainland Europe, Russia, and the Baltics, as well as Iceland and Japan, the group are planning to take their entertaining and energetic live show on the road in the near future.
The band conclude: “Join us on our quest to make the world a bit more epic!”
