Puppe Magnetik - Act. XXII
Finnish dark enigmatic artist Puppe Magnetik, the brainchild of Aina Virtanen, has released a new single, "Act. XXII", offering another taste of the twisted atmospheres to come on her debut album, "Laudans Deum".
"Act. XXII" is a classically inspired poem steeped in a decadent mood, featuring haunting vocal scales and a reverberating sense of spiralling horror. According to Virtanen, the track "represents a bit of the thick horror coming from the twisted atmospheres of the album". It serves as the opening track on "Laudans Deum", which is set for release on 21 June 2025, via Rune Serpent Europa with worldwide distribution through The Circle Music.
"Laudans Deum" is an eclectic and haunting collection, drawing from a rich tapestry of influences that span neofolk, dark ambient, death-industrial and the avant-garde.

Puppe Magnetik is the vision of Finnish artist Aina Virtanen, a classically trained musician who studied singing, violin, and piano at the prestigious Hanns Eisler Conservatory in Berlin. After a period of personal struggle and a hiatus, Virtanen found solace and inspiration in the remote landscapes of Northern Finland, leading to the birth of Puppe Magnetik in 2022. Her work showcases exceptional vocal and technical abilities, creating a disturbing yet beautiful blend of experimental soundscapes and structured song formats.
The album will be available as a limited edition vinyl LP, featuring a standard cover, a 30x30 insert, and a numbered sticker. The pressing will consist of 100 copies on Black Vinyl and 200 copies on Red Vinyl.
