Pete Lehtinen is the lead singer and guitarist of Finnish dark metal band Mustan Kuun Lapset. Now he has released his solo work as a digital single Snowflower. Mustan Kuun Lapset existed from 1993 to 2023. This single is based on one of MKL's most famous songs, Lumikukka. This is not a "re-recording", but a completely new approach to a song that old (and maybe new) fans will recognize familiar melodies, but will also find something completely new.

In addition to Lehtinen, the production team for the song includes familiar names from the MKL days. Snowflower was recorded and edited by Sami Heinonen (known from Inferia, Necropsy & Sacrilegious Impalement). He already appeared in 2021 on MKL's seventh album Kruunu (Inverse Records) as a french horn player, and now, in addition to the credits mentioned above, also plays the same role on this track.

Snowflower was mixed and mastered by studio engineer Pasi Löfgrén (known from the band Where´s My Bible). Pasi was MKL's bassist and second vocalist in the band's last years, and also recorded, mixed and mastered MKL's last recording, the Suruaika EP. And one thing that should be noticed is the long-standing collaboration between Mustan Kuun Lapset and Jaakko Tarvainen & Inverse Records. Inverse has released all of MKL's albums and EPs since 2016, and now the collaboration continues with this single!

Snowflower lyrics:

Valokuvia hautajaisistasi
Pala mennyttä aikaa
Kyyneleet surusta kertovat
Kaipaavat toisiaan halaa

Älä pelkää yölintuni
Ei jää yksin sielusi
Älä pelkää yölintuni
Ei jää yksin sielusi
