‘Neon Highway’ is the first taste of this stunning album; a hyperactive love song full of pure chaos and fury, thoroughly resonating with the album title. As told by Leevi Luoto (guitar/vocals): “This is a straight up love song. MAD love. Also functions as the landscape-painter of the album, describing the world we’re singing about.”

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 80s 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 breath taking 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!”
