SOMETHING TO CELEBRATE WITH - 17.08.2008 Posted by: Hannu Hark for I speak of anniversary... As promised earlier, we want to indulge you with some special material. After all, this is our anniversary year and it's good milestone to thank all of you, Noumena fans. You might want to surf to Noumena's MySpace page right away...
And then some boring news. We are currently rehearsing new songs for our forthcoming album (don't ask, we don't know when it'll be released...) In fact, we played 2 brand-new songs at Ähtäri gig. Seemed to work pretty well, I guess. Take care and enjoy the dying season! THENOUMENA.COM IS DEAD - 07.04.2008 Posted by: Ville Our old domain thenoumena.com is now forever gone. We kept it working as an alternative for more than a year, which should be enough for everyone to update their links. Some links on this site might be dead for a while, and we may need to upload some stuff to another location. Additionally, it's the time for the annual downtime of our messageboard server. It should be back online in a day or two, hopefully.
ALIVE OR JUST BREATHING? - 10.03.2008 Posted by: Hannu It's been quite a while since the last sign of life, but we're here. Noumena has enjoyed a torpor or winter sleep for a couple of months. We are - after all - from a town with zoo, so I guess we just aped some bear habits... Seriously and actually, we decided to have some time off from Noumena.
Now the hibernation is over. We have been writing new material and already 5 songs have been rehearsed. Sounds promising! Because of this creative phase we will play only few and selected gigs in near future. Festival gigs are welcome, so remember to push the promoters and festivals in Finland and abroad to book Noumena ;)
Btw. Noumena will reach age of 10 this year (spring to be precise). We might figure out something special for you metalheads, so be alert!
All the best, Hannu and rest of the Noumena molos
#########################################
Elonmerkit ovat olleet vähissä täällä Noumena-osastolla, mutta vielä kituutellaan. Äpän karhut ovat nauttineet talviunesta, kuten täytyy. Pidimme tarkoituksella muutaman kuukauden taukoa musatouhuista ja keskityimme enemmänkin lagertouhuihin.
Olemme kirjoittaneet uutta matskua, ja viisi upouutta Noumena-rallia on jo treenattukin. Ehkä tästä jotain vielä tulee. Keikat ovat olleet vähissä näiden treenihommien takia, eikä lähiaikoina varmaan montaa keikkaa soiteta. Hellän keikkakin (Tampere) peruuntui ravintolan vaikeuksien takia, mutta Helsingissä esiinnytään vajaan kuukauden kuluttua. Jos haluatte nähdä meitä festareilla Suomessa tai ulkomailla, niin muistakaa kertoa toiveet festarien järjestäjille - mieluusti tarpeeksi monta kertaa.
Noumena täyttää tänä vuonna 10 vuotta, joten jotain yllätys/spessutouhua saatetaan keksiä. Pysykääpäs kuulolla.
Smithin a kumi, Hannu ja muut ministerit
NEW SONGS IN MYSPACE - 05.09.2007 Posted by: Hannu Ok, not completely new songs... Playlist in MySpace needed some changes, so we did some. In case you haven't heard our every song, surf to MySpace and see/listen what you can find.
HELL IS WHERE THE HEART IS - 25.06.2007 Posted by: Hannu ...meaning home sweet home! We returned to Finland last Tuesday, but it took a couple of days to write here. And we had the Midsummer festival last weekend.
But anyway, our Europäischään 2007 Tour is done and done. We had such a great and awesome time on road. Thanks to everyone who came to our gigs! We met and talked with so many nice people during our trip. Our compliments to venues, promoters and of course to Ingo and Kiste at Rock This Town. Special thanks to Hanna and Sampsa for brilliant company and osaaminen! Some report and pictures in near future, I guess.
NEXT WEEK there will new merchandise (shirts and patches) available at our website. Promise! Until then, CHEERS!
TOUR UPDATE - 10.06.2007 Posted by: Hannu Greetings from hot Lübeck!
Our tour is going on quite smoothly. Audiences have been great and sun is shining (a little bit too much). The tour began with an unfortunate event as our gig in Berlin had to be cancelled due to severe technical problems in the venue.
We managed to book a replacing gig to the end of our tour, so we will be playing in PIRATE COVE (Berlin) on Monday, the 18th of June. Please stop by, if you have a chance!
EURO TOUR DATES AND MORE - 18.04.2007 Posted by: Hannu It's time to stop this silence! Exciting season in Noumena camp is closing in, namely euro tour. You can find the dates on LIVE-section. More gigs are still to be booked and detailed info (support bands, venue links) will follow in near future. We will manufacture some new merchandise items for the tour and those can be ordered via our website after our tour (at latest). Thanks for our audience at Tampere and we hope to see lots of metalheads at Helsinki and Turku next week!

INTERNET EP RELEASED - 27.09.2006 Posted by: Hannu We have released a digital EP entitled TRIUMPH AND LOSS. On the eve of the new full length this is a serious appetizer. The title song of the EP is taken from forthcoming album ANATOMY OF LIFE. Other five tracks are previously unreleased and not included in the new album. EP won’t be available in CD form, but only downloadable from Internet. We have had a good buch of quality unreleased material. We wanted to offer an opportunity for you guys to enjoy it.
Samples from Anatomy of Life out now!
Please visit our NOUMENA.INFO SAMPLE PAGE.
GIG TONIGHT AND MORE - 25.08.2006 Posted by: Hannu So, we'll hit the stage tonight in Mikkeli. This is our first gig since touring in Germany/Austria and recording the new album. I guess you'll witness some new material tonight...
Sad thing is that Swallow the Sun had to cancel their show. Noumena will be the "headliner" and Kill the Romance will deliver some serious warm up along with one TBA band. Don't ask, I don't know which.
One more thing. Anatomy of Life release date is 1.11.2006. Stay tuned. There will lots of Noumena hassle going on this autumn.
THE NEW ALBUM READY - 17.07.2006 Posted by: Hannu We have finally completed our forthcoming album. It is entitled Anatomy of Life. As you might know, it was recorded and mixed in Studio Sundi Coop by Tuomo Valtonen and mastered at Finnvox Studios by Mika Jussila. Tracks are as follows:
1. Misanthropolis 2. Burden of Solacement 3. Retrospection 4. The Burning 5. Monument of Pain 6. Triumph and Loss 7. Marionettes 8. Through the Element 9. Fire and Water
With the new album we have evolved our approach to melodic death. ”This time we worked more on terms of the songs. We didn’t want to squeeze every song into the same format”, analyzes guitarist Tuukka Tuomela. ”However, heavy rhythms and catchy melodies are on their place”, he continues. Along with growler Antti Haapanen the tracks include guest vocalists.
Anatomy of Life will be released in the end of October. Detailed information about release, gigs and more will follow later.
Noumena @ Myspace - 30.05.2006 Posted by: Ville A myspace page for Noumena has been added. You can visit it at www.myspace.com/noumena. Additionally, the guestbook has been closed because of extensive spamming.
NOUMENA ENTERS STUDIO - 23.05.2006 Posted by: Hannu We have begun to forge our third album. The mystical session takes place in Sundi Coop Studio (Savonlinna, Finland). As you know, our previous album Absence was recorded and mixed in the same studio. Why fix something that is not broken?
There are 11 songs to tame this time. New material is more diverse and has more twists and turns, but Noumena trademark elements are definitely present.
If everything goes well, recording and mixing will be done by the end of June. The new album will be released during October-November 2006. The Studio Diary in Noumena Forum.
Back from Euro Tour - 19.04.2006 Posted by: Hannu Aabenraa! We're back from our euro tour. We really had good time in Germany and Austria! Thanks to every metalhead who came to see our shows. Respect! Special thanks to our jolly good Mikko and Hanna! Some pictures etc. from the tour as soon as we have time. Now we have prepare for our forthcoming studio session. Stay tuned!
