Noita

**Noita** is a Finnish alternative rock trio hailing from Helsinki, known for their raw, grunge-infused sound and moody, atmospheric tracks. Formed in 2017, the band consists of vocalist/guitarist Elias Salonen, bassist Joonas Porko, and drummer Waltteri Välimäki. Drawing inspiration from '90s alt-rock giants like Nirvana and modern acts such as Queens of the Stone Age, Noita blends gritty riffs, brooding lyrics, and infectious hooks—a vibe that’s earned them a dedicated following in Scandinavia’s rock scene.

Their recent releases—including punchy singles like *Reaper*, *Psycho*, and *Lie To Me*—showcase their knack for balancing dark, introspective themes with anthemic energy. Tracks like *Oxygen* and *Velvet* highlight their dynamic range, shifting from haunting melodies to full-throttle crescendos. Though still emerging globally, Noita’s explosive live performances and steadily growing catalog (like their 2018 debut EP *Dead End*) signal they’re ones to watch in the alt-rock revival.
