Viktor Gullichsen/Brymir – hard way to make living from music (interview)

0
Od on English, Finský koutek, Interview

Viktor Gullichsen is the vocalist of the Finnish “epic pagan metal horde” as the BRYMIR describe themselves. As their new single is to be released soon and they’re working hard on finishing their next album, there were many good reasons to meet him. Viktor granted me and thereby us some deep insights into Brymir’s creative processes but also how he manages to in the end make his living from music or with music, to be precise. I met him short before Brymir’s gig on the Metal Crane Festival in Nosturi/Helsinki back in January. The festival was a big success, attracting…

Mors Subita’s new single: Into the Pitch Black

0
Od on English, Finský koutek, Reports, Reviews

Imagine a friend asks you to check out a new song. Happens everyday. You do. You listen. And you think: Damn, it’s good! I listen again. Wow. It’s got my vibes, my speed, my moods. And I listen once more to find a shallow glimpse of its depths. Oh dear!!! Catchy, but then more than that. It is this kind of catchiness that creeps rather slowly but unstoppable into your mind, it creeps on deeper, further into your soul and it would not stop before it has found a cosy and warm place deep inside your heart. Still there are…

Harakiri For The Sky: Dark poetry from Austria

0
Od on English, Interview

Austrian post-black metal band Harakiri For The Sky released their fourth album, “Arson” on Friday, February 16th. We had a little chat about the new album and some other topics during their short tour in Finland in January. In the backstage room at Nosturi venue, Helsinki, I meet two polite and very Austrian-like friendly mob-heads. Matthias Sollak writes the music, Michael “Jimbo” Wahntraum writes the lyrics. A two-man creative project, but like a little family on the road The creative decisions in making music and lyrics are shared between the two men. Matthias writes the music, makes the…

Skalmölð – My roots stay within what Iceland is (interview)

0
Od on English, Interview, Reporty

What would you expect from meeting a metal band from Iceland? Ice-cool characters, rough statements uttered in few, harsh word. Then perhaps this interview is boring to you. Because meeting Bibbi (Snæbjörn Ragnarsson – Bass/Vocals) and Þráinn (Þráinn Árni Baldvinsson – Guitar/Vocals) is different. It resembles­ more the conversation you have with good friends over a bottle of wine. One moment you’re laughing out loudly and the next you discuss a serious topic only to learn that you share the opinions of your friends before diving into some telling tales of recent shows, role play adventures and alike. Time flies…

I give all my life to you – a portrait interview with Demonos Sova/Barathrum

0
Od on English, Finský koutek, Nummirock

I am not much into Black Metal, I admit. But I am quite aware of the musical biography of Pasi “Ruoja” Koskinen (Ajattara). So when I saw the opportunity to meet Pasi I went for. He spoke of a friend, Demonos Sova, and an interview they had done together. But who is Demonos Sova, the head of Barathrum really, I wondered? I longed to find out and a friend made contact. The man I meet on a Sunday noon in a bar is friendly, talkative and interested on a broad spectrum of things. As many of our generation, he is…

“Post Pulse, we love being social” – tour report interview

1
Od on English, Finský koutek, Interview, Reports

Back in summer I met a cool new band full of energy, passion and ambition. Post Pulse had just released their first album – great, straightaway and honest to the bone, groovy stuff – and where full of plans. They had played a couple of shows in autumn and winter before they started off for their first tour abroad in Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Poland. Only one or two days before they set sail I heard Sam, their most charismatic bass player felt severely ill. Just returned from the hospital they started touring, including Sam, of course. Now that they…

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…
