Taival (translation: Journey) is the eighth studio album by Finnish band Stam1na, released on 12 October 2018. Just like with the previous album, it was produced by Janne Joutsenniemi and mixed by Jens Bogren. It debuted at number one on The Official Finnish Charts.

Stam1na promoted the album with a tour of Finland, called the Haloo Lemi tour, from October to December 2018.

Background

On 5 September 2018, the band published the track listing and shared the cover art. Before releasing the album, they released three singles: "Elämänlanka" on 16 May 2018, "Enkelinmurskain" on 7 September, and "Gaian lapsi" on 11 October. The band's lyricist Antti Hyyrynen described the album as "wander[ing] through the big topics of a human's life" and speaking "of the unachievable nature of life".
