Finnish melodic metal band Viikate released a new single and music video titled ‘Meillä on siivet’ to mark their 30th anniversary, referred to as the V30V year. The music video was produced in collaboration with the city of Kouvola and the South-Eastern Finland University of Applied Sciences (Xamk), utilizing local landscapes to present a more colorful side of the band’s typical melancholic style.

To commemorate the milestone, the band is conducting a V30V tour through several Finnish cities, including Kouvola, Lahti, Turku, Tampere, and Helsinki, during the autumn and early winter.
