Golden Wounds Debuts with Atmospheric Single A Promise

We present to you A Promise by Golden Wounds, released on the 23rd August 2025.

Arto Karvonen and Markus Myllykangas, the creative forces once known for shaping Finnish post-metal with their band Callisto, are back with an entirely new musical project. Their new collaboration, Golden Wounds, makes its official debut with the single A Promise, out now on all major streaming platforms.

Golden Wounds crafts a rich, cinematic soundscape where melancholic melodies meet the pulse of distant hip-hop and electronic beats. The track merges electronic production with hazy, layered guitars. The song culminates in a stunning, intimate vocal harmony delivered by jazz vocal trio Mimie Moore.

Karvonen handles the project’s electronic production and keyboard work, while Myllykangas brings depth and texture with his guitar compositions. Their synergy resonates in a completely new context, where the electronic and organic meet in both serenity and tension.

A Promise marks just the beginning. Golden Wounds has already written a growing body of new material, with additional singles slated for release in the coming months and a full-length album in the works.

Alongside the track, the duo has released a music video written and directed by Karvonen, so take a watch below.
