IKINÄ is a Finnish metalcore band formed in 2015, built around dual vocalists Tuuli Paju and Katariina Sorsa alongside Santeri Paju (drums), Samuli Suokas (guitar) and Aake Lämsä (bass). The band released their first two albums through Sakara Records before going independent, and their fourth album 'Valkyria' (April 2026) marks their most ambitious work yet - drawing on both international metal and Finnish pop while exploring themes of isolation and connection. They are known for high-energy live shows and have toured as support for Soilwork, Stam1na and Mokoma.
IKINÄ released their fourth album 'Valkyria' on 10 April 2026, with several spring tour dates selling out.
IKINÄ is set to perform at a joint FCF Wrestling and Tyrantti event at Ääniwalli, Helsinki on 17 July 2026.
IKINÄ is scheduled to play Nummirock festival in Kauhajoki in June 2026.
The single 'Jumalatar', featuring 18 Finnish female metal vocalists, earned IKINÄ a spot on MTV's morning show Huomenta Suomi.
IKINÄ released the single 'Inari' on 21 November 2025, the third preview track from the then-upcoming album 'Valkyria'.
