CS069’s “Smaller Than The Sun”: A Fierce, AI-Driven Reckoning from Finland’s Rising Metal Visionary

From the quiet town of Solf, Finland, CS069 steps forward with “Smaller Than The Sun,” a track that does far more than experiment with AI-driven music. It declares its own legitimacy. Built on a foundation of Southern metal grit and the heavy lineage of Pantera, Anthrax, and Guns N’ Roses, this single stands as a sharp rebuttal to the belief that AI music must be shallow, lazy, or synthetic. 

CS069 proves the opposite: intention matters, vision matters, and craft still matters even when technology is part of the process. What sets “Smaller Than The Sun” apart is its commitment to realism and emotional weight. The riffs are slower, deeper, and heavy enough to anchor the entire track, while the AI-generated vocals feel surprisingly human, layered, forceful, and unapologetically raw. This isn’t a “one-click” novelty. It’s the result of a long, meticulous home-studio grind, where CS069 wrestled with lyrics, structure, tone, and atmosphere until everything aligned with the world they wanted the song to inhabit.

The soul of the release lies in its origin story: a lifelong desire to make music finally meeting modern tools that could carry that vision. CS069 refuses to let AI be an excuse for low-effort output; if anything, this track challenges the wider scene to raise its standards. It’s unique not because it’s AI-assisted, but because it sounds like it belongs in the metal landscape, not outside it. “Smaller Than The Sun” is heavy, compelling, and defiantly sincere. Whether or not listeners embrace AI-driven artistry, the music speaks for itself, and in this case, it speaks with conviction.
