ShagU & Mc Raaka Pee
Turmion Katilöt

A Schrödinger’s Cat Discourse with Mc Raaka Pee & ShagU/Turmion Katilöt

0
Od on English, Finský koutek, Interview, News

Sometimes when you meet a band you have an idea what will happen. Sometimes not at all. You prepare your questions and you look forward to have a good time or an interesting, deep-going conversation or get some hard business facts. And at some very rare occasions you get that all when expected none of it! You were not really confident how to get the conversation running, perhaps. But then we’re speaking here of Turmion Katilöt, a band that for me more than any other never fits in any box. They are unique in the very best sense of the…

Metal Is A Way Of Life – Meeting Jon Schaffer/Iced Earth

0
Od on English, Interview, News

Meeting Jon Schaffer was special to me. I have listened to his music for 15 or even 20 years now. And then he surprised me with some very personal replies on the band history, its dynamics and his attitude towards metal. It’s a brutally hot summer day in the remote scenery of rural German countryside – Rock Am Stück – as I meet Jon Schaffer, head composer, guitarist, and well, simply the mastermind of Iced Earth. The band has played quite a few festivals in Europe already this summer and some club gigs in between. I wonder if he still…

Dead Like Silence – not at all. The new single from Post Pulse

0
Od on English, Finský koutek, Interview, News, Reviews

Like a tornado the new song “Dead Like Silence” from Post Pulse kicks off. Nothing of silence in here. Not all. But then again who needs silence if you can have the growls and screams of Mikko Kotamäki (Swallow the Sun), Otto Aleksanteri Eräjoki (Mørket), Niko Kalliojärvi (Humavoid), and Sami Silvennoinen (Skein) adding to Doe‘s [Tapani Rantanen]? It’s Friday night and I sit at home chatting with a young musician I met only recently. While we discuss the essential role of networking the timeline shows a new video of my Finnish, former interviewees from Post Pulse. And how fitting it…

Flat Earth

“BLAME” released – seductive cynicism

0
Od on English, Finský koutek, News, Reports, Reviews

OK, I missed Radio Rock, Finlands number one radio program for the harder music, playing “Blame” by Flat Earth for the very first time. F*! But then the internet is not really forgetting anything and thus, soon I got my opportunity. The teaser had been promising already. Anttoni’s voice sounds different on the teaser than I knew from Polanski and it does even more considering the now digitally available, complete song. But let’s get started from the beginning. The intro has a keyboard passage – it immediately reminded me of a song I had known for a long time, a…

Barren Earth’s “The Withdrawal” – the cross road song!

0
Od on English, Finský koutek, Interview, News, Reports

The new album – “A COMPLEX OF CAGES” – is announced to be released on March 30th, 2018. Back in summer already Olli-Pekka Laine (bass, main composer) told me, “Yeah, definitely. It’s darker.” While the first single “FURTHER DOWN” is pretty much that from the first moment on, listening to second, just released single, “THE WITHDRAWAL” we might think differently. It feels so light but then …  A somewhat soft tune ripples by like a slow, yet deep river. It seems like the perfect song to listen to during your breakfast in that one hotel in Rovaniemi that enables you…

Megaherz – “about living an authentic life” (interview)

0
Od on English, Interview, News

Megaherz vocalist Lex in an interview on their new album “KOMET” (>> deutsche Vollversion) The German band, well more like an institution in heavy music, Megaherz is about to release a new album, „KOMET“. As I had the chance to do an email interview with them I could not resist. Then again email interviews are lacking one of my most important source of information – the interaction with my interviewee sitting next to me. I am limited to read in black letters, hear no words, no further sounds, no sensing of emotions. I have no face or pose to read.…

FLAT EARTH – Linde, Gas Lipstick, Anthony & Niclas join forces in a new band

Od on English, Finský koutek, News, Reports

For quite some time I … well ok, we have waited to see what Niklas Etelävuori is going to do after leaving Amorphis in April 2017. And who would have guessed that when only few weeks later HIM announced their farewell tour, the ‘lose’ ends – speaking of Linde (Mikko Lindström) and Gas Lipstick (Mika Karppinen) in case of HIM – would make joint new beginning? And a third adds to the new band: Polanski’s singer Anthony (Anttoni Pikkarainen)! Does that make the new band a ‘super band’? – Yes and No. There is no reason to doubt that the…

The Beast in Black unleashes the „Berserker“ in November

0
Od on English, News

Beast in Black had a start most other bands can only dream of: They were invited to play big shows long, and I mean long before only a single note of their new album was released, actually even before it was recorded. And being invited to support acts like Nightwish and Sabbaton or for a slot on Tuska – that is a statement. A statement of trust in the capacities of this new band and most of all, their mastermind: Anton Kabanen. When I met Anton in early July the band was still negotiating a deal. All he could say…
