Seraph - Early Grave

Seraph's single debut received a lukewarm response in Europe... But in Finland everyone hated it. We wanted to to things differently with Seraph's second and final release.

Where Eden was midtempo, lush and maybe a tad overproduced, we wanted to make Early Grave it's angry younger brother. We wanted to undo all our previous mistakes which (when it comes to the critics called our customers) were having too little dirty vocals, a lead singer in the first place, too much keys and too little guitars.

This time we started with the guitar sound: It was HUGE. I'm personally thanking my VH100R's demonic distortion for it. The second problem we fixed was the keyboard problem. Now we only have this ultra haunting little melody in the chorus. We also ditched the bitches from our group and the only vocalist on this product was Nathan Kerosene and his whiskey-bent screaming voice.

The end result is a good follow-up for the wrong single. Way heavier than the first and probably way heavier than anything I'm going to write/record in the near future as well. Since Seraph ended, the future of this track is still open... It will be released in iTunes and Spotify on 01.01.2015 though.

Nikki Suicide - Lame-ass Leftovers & Party Inferno

Once upon a time I played in this art rock group called Æviator and once upon a time we recorded a 4-track EP called Trail of Iron. Sadly it was never released, I got my ass fired from the group due to artistic differences and the group went to a perpetual hiatus...

Two years later I asked for the rights to release two of the instrumental songs that I had written by myself for personal use. Since we're in good terms nowadays, I also had these rights and released two singles dubbed as Lame-ass Leftovers and Party Inferno.

The recording session was the very first I had when it comes to recording my own material. None of us had no idea what the fuck we were doing and frankly that's what the EP sounded like too. The band was still going through artistic differences and last minute changes were made to the songs... I'll admit that I rushed the session schedule because of my impatience and that's one of the reasons why our material didn't turn out to be as great as we expected.

So I basically took the rights for the songs that I wrote myself which were simpler and more straight-forward Rock. I'm not fully satisfied with that material, but I'm proud to call it mine because the year I was in Æviator was an important learning experience.

Seraph - Eden (on Fire)

Eden was recorded at Soundmix Recording studio at the end of 2013 and saw daylight on February 2014.

Seraph began recording their debut single at Soundmix Recording Studio in Oul, Finland in late 2013 with the producer Mika Pohjola. The recording sessions were fun because myself and the producer (obviously) were the only people of the group that knew what the fuck we were doing.

Seraph was formed by Nathan Kerosene in 2013 alongside with Siddhartha Gaytama on rhythm guitar, myself on lead guitar, Riina Haponen as the vocalist, Damian Craynes as the random sound effect guy and Martin Fox on bass. As I mentioned before, no-one really knew what the fuck they were doing so the sessions were pretty chaotic. The original vision for Seraph was this lame Amarenthe rip-off (thank god that never happened, I hate that band) and the result sounded very different from the initial vision. Eden was way poppier sounding than we originally intended, maybe a little too poppy. Sure the guitars were heavy and there was a shit load of keyboards and shit like that, but the mixing was really lush... There are tons of other flaws with the single other than that, but I'll let you find out about that.
