Viimeinen Atlantis (in English The Last Atlantis) is the fourth album by Finnish thrash metal band Stam1na. It was released on 10 February 2010. It features keyboardist Emil Lähteenmäki for the first time as a permanent band member.
The album's lyrics deal with climate change and consumption culture. "The album is a record from an era in which the warning signs were visible for everyone. The water level rises but the map is burning: it is time to choose a direction and start running", commented lyricist Antti Hyyrynen.
The band opened on 9 December 2009 a specific website at viimeinenatlantis.fi domain where the album story was revealed panel by panel in a comic format. In addition to a normal jewelcase CD, the album was released as a vinyl and as a book version, which includes the comic and Joonas Brandt's photo reportage of the album recording. In February 2020, 10 years after the album, novel Viimeinen Atlantis was released.[1] It is first novel by member of the band Antti Hyyrynen.[1]
