Elokuutio is the seventh studio album by Finnish progressive metal band Stam1na. It was produced by Janne Joutsenniemi and mixed by Jens Bogren.[1] The album's title Elokuutio can mean eloquence, but can also be translated as "living cube". Lyricist Antti Hyyrynen describes the album's theme as the "digital hell of the unreligious".[2]

On 8 January 2016, the track listing and cover art of the album was revealed. On 19 February, the first single from the album, "Kuudet raamit", was released, and a week later a 360 music video directed by Tuomas Petsalo was released.[3]
