Done with the mixing of the album 12.2.2013 !!

Jiihaa, we just got done with all the little bells and whistles and the mixing is done ! As for now we still have some work to do to prepare for the shows etc but in a week or so we can start enjoying the christmas holiday. I’ll be back posting stuff from the mastering which will be in early January.

More info, like the album title, cover, videos & singles and all that will be coming out soon,piece by piece until the album will finally see the light of day in March 2014. As usual, we’re very pleased with the results and I’m sure you’ll be too. In only a little over 6 weeks we’ll be out playing our 15th anniversary shows and you’ll get to hear at least one of the new songs as well as some stuff that we’ve never played live before along with our ”hits”, we’ll of course will also bring back some songs that we haven’t played for awhile now…… I’m really pumped about the setlist ;-)

All the best, enjoy your holiday season and we’ll be back in January unless something comes up.

cheers,

Henkka

  1. Good morning here in Argentina! Turns out yesterday I was in the car listening to the radio when suddenly starts playing "I can't dance" and I remembered that you had recorded a cover of this song ... someday will see the light haha?

    PS: I'm glad you're excited about the setlist, we're also excited and expectant.

  10. Tulkaa Ouluunkin! :)
    I was so glad when I heard about the 15th anniversary shows as I still would be in Finland at that time, but then I found out that you don't come to Oulu :(
    I guess there is not much chance that this would change, but still, please come to Oulu too!

  14. I'm so exited about the whole Sonataland stuff right now. I wonder what did you do with the setlist... I was seeing how many times some tracks got suggested in that previous thread, and I wonder if you'll end up playing some of those. "New songs" "stuff we haven't played in a while" oh man I'm sooo exited!!

    Love from México! See you in March!

  15. I remember somewhere you said there'd be a teaser in December (at least I thought you did). Is that statement still true, or should I cry myself to sleep tonight?

    1. I don't remember that, however my memory sucks, the plan was to get the album name and the cover out before christmas... I hope it's work out...and then the first single in January...

  17. Will the setlist be exactly the same in every show, or will there be some changes between shows?

    1. Haven't talked about that yet, we'll decide on that in January when we have the band rehersals for the tour.

    2. Please decide, that there could be some changes, for those of us who will come to more than one show :)

    3. Considering poor Pasi already has to learn 2,5 to 3 hours worth of songs from scratch, I don't think they're gonna change THAT much. Sure, Pasi is good, but....

    1. Kyllähän Lappeenrannassa voisi soitella, sieltä vaan ei ole tarjottu vielä keikkaa...ja tämän rundin osalta ei enää mahdu/ehdi. Pitkiä ? Ihan soppelin mittaisia ;-)

  20. Who will do the artwork for the new album? It will be so crazy and confusing as SGHN? Hopefully do something like Silence or TDOG are my favorite

    PS: Any hints album name?

    1. ToxicAngel is doing the artwork, and the drafts I've seen doesn't look crazy or confusing so no worries ! I can't give you any hint of the name, the name should be released in a few days ;-)

    2. Haha thanks I'll wait then! And thank you very much for taking the time to respond! Happy Christmas and New Year to you, your family and all the guys in the band.

  21. I bet this album's title won't be half as complex/confusing as SGHN..
    that one must have given you so much hassle with all the questions about its meaning.. Lol ;) Enjoy your holidays! :)
