The highly anticipated album was released on the Tuesday 10th of December with the single <i>'I Wanna Walk All Night'</i> being release weeks before the album dropped.<br />
<br />
Since his EP back March 2011<b> "Run Away With Me"</b> he's generated a lot of buzz with the style of his music and lyrical content. And with the single from that EP <i>'Run Away With Me'</i> he has clearly caught the attention of some well know music producers as well as gaining a growing fan base outside of Helsinki, Finland. With the latest release of <b>"Have A Beautiful Life" </b>you will not be disappointed, you will hear in this album a very true and more confident Hannu as he sings about life, love and over coming hardships of many kinds. Also it is proof that not only can you compare him to other influential musicians of the same genre but that it is also safe to say that the very name Hannu Lepsito can stand in its own right among such talents as Finnish rock band HIM, Leonard Chen, Steve Earle and Bruce Springsteen, just to name a few.<br />
<div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Since the release of <b>"Have A Beautiful Life" </b>the album has soared to the Top Ten on iTunes for Finland and was the #1 downloaded iTunes Alternative genre album for Finland on December 10th and the 11th. And is ranked #1 on Reverbnation Finnish charts!</div>

December 2013<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<a href="http://www.invadersasylum.com/" target="_blank">Ava/Invaders Asylum:</a> First off I would like to say Hello. And to also congratulate you on your newest album <b>"Have A Beautiful Life"</b> and for breaking records on iTunes and Reverbnation.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.hannuofficial.info/" target="_blank">Hannu Lepisto</a>: Ava!!! *hugs* and thank you! And thanks for wanting to do an interview, a true pleasure to talk with you again! And thank you for congrats - yeah it was kind of a surprise and a little shock that <b>”Have A Beautiful Life”</b> broke into top-ten in Finnish iTunes Album charts and went straight to number one on Finnish iTunes Alternative Album charts on the release date! And it feels great, as well, that fans didn't abandon me on Reverbnation while I was fully concentrated on working on album. Big thanks to Victorian Underground Music and Homeward Records, Oy - they got my back. And thanks to my online Street Team for support! :-)<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<a href="http://www.invadersasylum.com/" target="_blank">Ava/IA</a>: So, what have you been doing since your last EP "Run Away with Me" and recording this new full -length album <b>"Have A Beautiful Life"</b> ?<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.hannuofficial.info/" target="_blank">Hannu</a>: Well, after the EP - I started to write new material and play-around with some "old" half-recorded songs and I ended up working as the main producer, plus mixing, and as recording engineer; a little over two years went quite quickly rocking by, working on <b>”Have A Beautiful Life”</b>. As a perfectionist, it was hard to let go of the album and release it. But finally I realized that I can’t make anything any better and that the songs were ready because colleagues kept repeating to me to release it. (I listened to the material in several different good studios asked opinions from colleagues and from co-producer Aqualyra) - Then it was time to pick the best mastering engineer for the job: Matthew Agoglia (James Taylor, Emmy Lou-Harris…). And he was very enthusiastic to be working with me again. It was my dream that he would master the release because he is so awesome. I knew just what to expect 'cos had worked with him before. He had worked with Howie Weinberg on mastering my EP, <b>”Run Away With Me”</b>, at Masterdisk Studios, NYC. But now he has his own mastering studio. So <b>”Have A Beautiful Life”</b> was mastered there, at The Ranch Mastering Studios, in Hudson Valley, New York.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.invadersasylum.com/" target="_blank">Ava/IA</a>: I must say with this new album I get a sense of not only musical progression but also but a personal one. Any new milestone within your career as a musician and or personal life that has garnered this fresh new amazing sound?<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.hannuofficial.info/" target="_blank">Hannu</a>: Oh, thank You for the great compliment! Yes, hard work (playing, singing, writing, rehearsing, arranging…) progresses in music. But I am very glad here that You noticed something else has happened as well. :) Being the album's producer (and all that is happening in my personal life) has directed me to a path where I ”accept” myself more and understand myself much better. Still, I’m an existentialist to death. Don’t wanna say I've grown up...Lol. But I can stand straight better about what -and who- I am; and I'm more confident of what I do when facing difficulties and hard times. Now feeling a lot more capable dealing with them.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.invadersasylum.com/" target="_blank">Ava/IA</a>: For the first single off of <b>"Have A Beautiful Life"</b> titled <i>'I Wanna Walk All Night'</i> you did an awesome music video of just you basically holding a video recorder walking around town in Helsinki, Finland. Who's idea was it to do this?<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.hannuofficial.info/" target="_blank">Hannu</a>: Oh, thank you! Actually, it was my idea. My label went along with it - they got me this tiny Sony Action Cam with a head band and I walked etc. lol - and gathered material for over 16 hours and edited it down to 3 mins. And I’m not a video-editor in any case, for God's sake - but I think I got the song’s mood captured there. And learned a bit of Final Cut Pro and video editing, at the same time.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.invadersasylum.com/" target="_blank">Ava/IA</a>: Do you remember what the song writing process was like for this album in particular?<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.hannuofficial.info/" target="_blank">Hannu</a>: I wanted to make a good album, concentrating on the "<b>Have A Beautiful Life"</b> concept-wise, but I didn’t do songwriting in a way that "now this needs this kind or that kind of song". I wrote a bunch of songs, a lot of good ones were dropped out from this album. But I wanted the album to be a rock’n’roll journey for the listener, with different moods to relate to, like all my favorite albums have done, but most of all I had to be satisfied with the album. So others could enjoy it, as well.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.invadersasylum.com/" target="_blank">Ava/IA</a>: How has the feedback been about the release of <b>"Have A Beautiful Life"</b>?<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.hannuofficial.info/" target="_blank">Hannu</a>: There has been a lot of raving! And I feel very taken about that, and it makes me feel humble, and at the same time I feel that Team Hannu has succeeded.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.invadersasylum.com/" target="_blank">Ava/IA</a>: Finally, how do you feel about the comparisons that have been made about the style of music you've created? (For Example: Artists such as Steve Earle, Lou Reed, Bruce Springsteen, Leonard Cohen and HIM.)<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.hannuofficial.info/" target="_blank">Hannu</a>: I take that as a huge compliment. After all, these artists all are my influences so it feels great! But mostly it's important that everyone is saying my sound is unique and every one of those great songwriters has their own influences and uniqueness, as well. So continuing keeping doing my own thing is the most important for me, as a singer-songwriter and producer.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.invadersasylum.com/" target="_blank">Ava/IA</a>: Any tours that we should be made aware of, at home or abroad?<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.hannuofficial.info/" target="_blank">Hannu</a>: No, not really. Yet. *laughing* But there are some shows scheduled, like Suomi Sound Fest in Poland next summer, but we are just getting there planning gigs… And we are planning this worldwide web online streaming gig on iBroadcast.tv - and I hope it will happen sometime in the near future.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.invadersasylum.com/" target="_blank">Ava/IA</a>: Any words for your fans that are scattered all over the world?<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.hannuofficial.info/" target="_blank">Hannu</a>: I want to thank each and everyone for your amazing support and hope that you guys continue to share, stream and tell friends, and spread the word - and support by buying my music as well, so we get more options in releasing new material! BTW. I've started working on a new LP already. :) If people haven't gotten them yet there are some free downloads of songs on the website <a href="http://www.hannuofficial.info/" target="_blank">www.hannuofficial.info </a>.<br />
<br />
<br />
And thank You, Ava for this, always a pleasure! Take care everyone and greets from Helsinki!<br />
<br />
<br />
Love,<br />
<br />
Hannu<br />

<br />
<b>Kruna</b> made a big buzz on the net with their 2007 demo called '<i>Fragments Of Memories</i>', mixing their early influences (Sepultura, Slayer, Black Sabbath) with the new sounds of bands such as The Black Dahila Murder, Soilwork and hatesphere among others. The band spent the last few years refining their songwriting skills and playing live incessantly and they are now ready to deliver their long-waited debut album, which stands as a true statement of <b>Kruna's</b> own vision of Metal, made of powerful guitar riffs, groovy rhythms and abrassive vocals linked by a natural and dynamic sound. Last Century was produced by Riccardo Pasini (Ephel Duath, Slowmotion Apocalypse, Extrema) and features a very special guest appearance by Alberto Zannier (Slowmotion Apocalypse) on the song 'Phoenix'.<br />

<b>Carved</b>. The name of the band is the best calling card for these six angry metal heads. Carving the emotions of their audience with the most violent performance they could possibly deliver is, as a matter of fact, their most notable trait.<br />
The band made an impact with their 2010 three tracks EP, which was reviewed enthusiastically by many international extreme metal zines and attracted the interest of legendary black/thrashers Necrodeath, who consequently decided to take them on their 25th Anniversary European tour. Gigs with many others notable acts followed, cementing the band's reputation and leading them to some new musical ideas for their debut full lenght release, '<i>Dies Irae</i>', Which was finally completed at the beginning of 2013. Recored and mixed in Italy and mastered at Chartmakers Studio (Rammstein, Volbeat, Apocalyptica), Finland, '<i>Dies Irae</i>' mixes powerful guitar riffs, massive grooves and brutal vocals with beautiful melodies and refined classical passages. The album will be released March 26th 2013 on Bakerteam Records.<br />

<b>"The World to Come is here, now. mankind awakes from a deep state of unconsciousness only to realize that the current age is cursed and it's time to move on. Belief is the original sin, the source of all evil, the force pulling us down a spiral of consternation. But just as the universe can slowly decrease its expansion speed and start contracting to finally collide in a Big Church, humans have to redeem and travel back to their origin. enter the realm of ZION."</b></div>
<br />
Founded by guitar virtuoso and acclaimed producer Simone Mularoni (DGM), <b>Empyrios</b> were able to push forward the boundaries of Progressive Metal with two critically acclaimed albums, '...And The Rest Is Silence', 2007, and '<i>The Glorious Sickness</i>', 2008, built on extreme musicianship and strong feeling, mixing some of the heaviest riffs in Metal with refined guitar and keyboard solos and symphonic orchestra passages, '<i>The Glorious Sickness</i>' granted the band a mention in Metal Hammer's "Best upcoming metal band of 2008" section and in the past few years every single member of <b>Empyrios</b> has been busy touring and making music around the globe. Simone Bertozzi joined the danish metal machine Mnemic for an extensive tour of Europe and Australia, Simone Mularoni packed his guitars and lead DGM through a European tour with Symphony X and Dario Ciccioni kept hitting the stage with Oliver Hartmann's solo project Hartmann. At the same time, countless guitar riffs and drum parts have been exchanged between home studios and dressing rooms to magnificently craft their unique blend of melody, rhythm and sound pressure into a new <b>Empyrios</b> masterpiece. Produced by Simone Mularoni himself at Domination Studios, 'Zion is the confirmed title for <b>Empyrios</b> long-awaited new album, an exciting chapter in the band's career, in which once again these four musicians put on tape their incredible technical abilities and impressive mix of melodic and brutal heavy metal, in the vein of bands such as Strapping Young Lad, Nevermore, Symphony X, Fear Factory, Yngwie Malmsteen and Mesguggah to name a few.<br />

<b>Godyva</b> was formed in Bari, Italy in January 2000. In September 2002 the band recorded their first EP '<i>Advent</i>' and soon began performing numerous live shows in the South of Italy throughout 2002 and 2003, including festivals such as The God Bless the Metal Festival, Rock Targato Italia, Gothic Rave (with Theatres des Vampires and others) and Harder Fest (with Panic Cell and others).<br />
<br />
In the summer of 2005, the American label Sorcery Studios/Razar Ice Records signed the band for a two album deal.<br />
<br />
'<i>In Good And Evil</i>', <b>Godyva's</b> debut album, was released in 2006, giving the band a big exposure both in the press (with features in all the relevant metal magazines) and in terms of their live activity (including an appearance at Total Metal Festival with Dark Funeral and Rage among other).<br />
<br />
With a renovated line-up, <b>Godyva</b> recorded their sophomore album '<i>Planetarium</i>', which was released in 2008. More shows in Italy and many countries in Europe followed, including appearance at Prestenice Open Air Music Fest (with The Rasmus among others) and Metal Female Voices Fest in Belgium (with Arch Enemy, Tristania and Epica among others).<br />
<br />
In June 2012 the band entered the studio to record the new album '<i>Alien Heart</i>', which will be released March 11th 2013 on Southern Brigade Records and marked and distributed by Scarlet Records.<br />

The deal – for all territories excluding North America, UK & Ireland, China and India – will govern the release of the highly anticipated new album “Tears On Tape” due out on April 29. <br /> <br /> The follow-up to 2010’s “Screamworks: Love In Theory And Practice”, “Tears On Tape” is nothing less than a face-punching, heart-tugging 13-track monster of an album, and if it recalls the glories of albums like 2003’s “Love Metal”, then it’s no accident – rejoining forces with longtime producer Hiili Hiilesmaa, “Tears On Tape” is a love letter scrawled in large, block capitals. <br /> <br /> Formed by high school friends obsessed not only with the immortal refrains of Black Sabbath but also the gloom-laden, sardonic wit of Type O Negative, HIM have become national icons in their native, rock and metal-loving Finland. Their trademark Heartagram symbol has left its indelible stamp on the globe and, with sales of more than 8 million records, HIM are a force like no other. They also have the distinction of recording the best-selling single of any Finnish artist to date with “Join Me In Death” from 1999’s “Razorblade Romance”, as well as being the first Finnish band to receive gold certification in the United States with 2005’s “Dark Light”.<br /> <br />“We wanted the heaviness without losing the sentimentality,” says frontman Valo. “Imagine Rambo meets The English Patient and you’re almost there. It’s got these big knucklehead riffs without forgetting the emotions behind them.” <br /> <br /> Recorded in Helsinki and mixed at Assault And Battery Studios in London by longtime “masterer” of ceremonies Tim Palmer (Ozzy Osbourne, U2, Pearl Jam), “Tears On Tape is, according to Valo, the result of working with longtime friends: “We’ve so much history that it enabled us to concentrate on the essential, which is making good songs sound as good as possible and turning them into something massive.”<br /><br /> Discography <br /> Greatest Love Songs Vol. 666 (1997)<br /> Razorblade Romance (1999)<br /> Deep Shadows and Brilliant Highlights (2001)<br /> Love Metal (2003)<br /> Dark Light (2005)<br /> Venus Doom (2007)<br /> Screamworks: Love in Theory and Practice (2010)<br /> Tears on Tape (2013) <br /> <br /><br /> Live Dates<br /> <br /> April<br /> 22 Berlin, Postbahnhof<br /> 24 Cologne, Gloria<br /> 26 London, Dingwalls<br /> <br /> May<br /> 3 LA, House Of Blues<br /> 4 LA, House Of Blues<br /> 5 SanFrancisco, Fillmore<br /> 8 Chicago, House Of Blues<br /> 9 Toronto, Danforth Music Hall<br /> 10 New York, Irving Plaza<br /> 11 New York, Irving Plaza<br /> 12 Philadelphia, Theatre Of Living Arts<br /> <br /> June<br /> 1 Warsaw, Usrynalia Student Fest<br /> 12 Moscow, Maxidrom<br /> 14 UK Download Festival<br /> 15 Austria, Nova Rock<br /> <br /> July<br /> 6 Turku, Ruisrock Festival<br /> 27 Oulu, Qstock Festival<br /> August<br /> 10 Germany, Mera Luna Festival<br /> <br /> More live dates to be announced shortly!</span><br />

On October 30th Los Angeles based Gothic rock band<strong> <a href="http://www.diminished-7.com/" target="_blank">Diminished 7</a></strong> released
their second album <strong>Hollow Haven</strong>. The 10 track album encompasses everything that
is ‘Ethereal’. Starting with the albums opener <em>Absorbing Darkness</em>. It sounds
like you are being led to unchartered territory of emotions where there are not
only shades of black and white but where there are areas that clearly have a
spectrum of grays as well. The piano solo is the only instrument that can
either lead you to happiness or forever be your tormentor. <o:p></o:p><br />

Two new songs on this album <em>Hours Freeze</em> and <em>The Room</em> are just breathtakingly
beautiful in sound and atmosphere. The piano seems to be a constant on<strong> Hollow
Haven</strong> and if not that then it’s the Acoustic guitar. Especially on a cover song
from <u><strong>A Perfect Circles</strong></u> <strong>‘Orestes’</strong> <o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<o:p> </o:p><br />
<br />
You'll also be in for a treat to find that earlier this year they released the single <em>‘Queen in Nuclear Rain’</em>. It is
now on this album. <o:p></o:p><br />

<o:p> </o:p><br />
<br />
And if you’ve followed the band from the very beginning then you’ll have
notice familiars on this album. Tracks like <em>Taste a Vampire</em>, <em>Her Bloodlust
at Sunset</em>, <em>She Lost Her Heart in Hollywood</em> and <em>Midnight Divine</em> are all performed
acoustically. It’s more of a stripped down version of these song from their 2009<strong> </strong>release<strong> Dim World</strong> and they are
done beautifully. Its clear that there was no rush to do this album and for
that I am glad. <o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
The album over all is wonderfully produced. Time, love and passion was infused into Hollow Haven. All I can say right now is - Can not wait for album #3 to be mention on the bands Website and Facebook page!!!<br />

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">... in March of 2011 Hannu Lepisto released “<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmIwUqGgUxY&feature=plcp"><span style="color: #dd7700;">Run Away With
Me</span></a>” -EP. The 5 track EP is by far an amazing album. Lepisto really showcased
what it means to really come undone with this album. Having gone through a
painful divorce, battling a heavy addiction and then almost succumbing to the
almighty himself but before it could get any worst he was quickly surround and
rescued by close friends and family from a further downward spiral. </span></div>

Since August of this year we here at Invaders Asylum received great response for the review with did about Finnish singer/songwriter Hannu Lepisto. And for the most part we were asked if an interview would ever happend with the talented singer/songwriter. So in late September yours truly asked if we could conduct an emailed interview with Hannu Lepisto. And in doing we were granted access to asked the questions we though that might be of interest to you (the fans) and of course us!<br />

<span style="color: black; font-family: "inherit","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"><span style="color: lime;"><a href="http://www.facebook.com/invadersasylum" target="_blank">Ava-Invaders Asylum</a></span>: <span style="color: #cccccc;">When and why did you
start playing music?</span></span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "inherit","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">
<br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><a href="http://www.hannuofficial.info/" target="_blank">Hannu Lepisto</a></span>: <span style="color: #cccccc;">Hi and thank you for the honor for asking me for an interview.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "inherit","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"><br />
<span style="color: #cccccc;">Music was always present at home, my keyboard player nowadays and big brother -
also head of <a href="http://www.homewardrecords.net/" target="_blank">Homeward Records Oy</a> which I'm signed to, practiced classical etc.
piano playing constantly and my father who was vicar opened his voice and
singed hymns every day and then at about 4 years old I swore - I don't never
want to be involved in anything that concerns music but then my world was blown
away at the age of five - when my bro came home with Springsteen's Born in the
U.S.A and soon other great records from various great artists. And then I knew
what I want to do when I grow up. (Laughing)</span><br />
<span style="color: #cccccc;"> </span><br />
<span style="color: #cccccc;">But that was long since I started to
actually play something. But after I saw my brother's band supporting quite
famous Finnish gospel rock band - I had the chance to try drums that were
minced through PA - I was sold. I had finally found my thing. And quite soon I
got my own drums. </span><br />
<span style="color: #cccccc;">Thank You parents for that too.. :) </span><br />
<span style="color: #cccccc;"> </span><br />
<span style="color: #cccccc;">And then I played drums
in different congregation / school / noise / punk/ grunge /rock etc. bands and
later on high school - I met Petteri my lead guitarist nowadays and at some
point I switched to guitar as well and man we played and jammed all the time,
skipped classes and all and then I started singing and started to write songs
because I felt that I was better than previous leaders and songwriters of the
bands I played drums in. And when we were in the studio with one of my previous
bands - I sang the reference melody for our lead singer to one of my songs
(I've just switched to guitar and started to write) - the recording engineer
praised my voice and tone. Of course it felt good, but at the same time it felt
awkward for our lead singer’s point of view... But that gave me courage to
continue on this path.<br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" />

<span style="color: black; font-family: "inherit","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"><span style="color: lime;">IA</span>: <span style="color: #cccccc;">Do you remember at what
point in your life when you realize that you wanted to make this a career?</span>
</span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "inherit","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;">HL</span>: <span style="color: #cccccc;">That was my goal at the age of five when I heard the first beat and notes of
Born In The USA - but seriously when my band (The Matt Pistol Project) had some
buzz and we got signed to one of the major agencies: <a href="http://www.koetinkivi.fi/" target="_blank">Koetinkivi Oy</a> here in
Finland and later on we signed an international publishing deal with Stockholm
based Marsongs (now defunct). And when my songs started to be on radios all
around the world, especially in USA and online and in some FM-channels as well.</span><br />
<span style="color: #cccccc;"><br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" /></span>
</span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "inherit","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "inherit","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"><span style="color: lime;">IA</span>: <span style="color: #cccccc;">Do you come from a
musical family background?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;">HL</span>: <span style="color: #cccccc;">:) My Godfather and my idol and my father's
youngest brother Tapani Lepisto played guitar in popular band called Esko
Nummisuutarit here in Finland back in 1970's and made living out of it for
years. And man he plays guitar so awesomely still. And I've an honor to tell
that the same "family" label Homeward Records Oy that I am currently
signed into releases his and one of his old friend Juhani's comeback single
before Christmas and I'm very proud to be in such a great role in their project
as a recording engineer, bassist, programmer, mixing engineer and Producer.
Their band's name is Tapsa & Juhani and it's like a time trip to 70's. And
I'm very satisfied what we have accomplished. It's instrumental but I feature
on vocals on the title track. So stay tuned. ;)</span> </span></span><br />

instrument(s) that you learned to play? And what was the very first tune or
song you learned how to play?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;">HL</span>: <span style="color: #cccccc;">[Drums] and first song I learned to play was my first
"composition" or song. Lol. I've quite never or seldom played nor
rehearsed other artists songs with guitar (as a drummer of course I did) except
some great covers on gigs.</span>
<br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" />

<span style="color: black; font-family: "inherit","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"><span style="color: lime;">IA</span>: <span style="color: #cccccc;">What and who are your
musical influences?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;">HL</span>: <span style="color: #cccccc;">Oh, I could write a book of out them lol, but to mention "few": The Boss
(solo and with) & The E Street Band, Steve Earle, Johnny Cash, Elvis, Tom
Petty and The Heartbreakers, Pearl Jam, Michael Jackson, Pink Floyd, Michael
Blair, Tom Waits, Tapsa, Nirvana, Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan, Juice Leskinen,
Eric Clapton, Dire Straits & Mark Knopfler, Dave Grohl, Roy Orbison, Frank
Zappa, Dr. Dre, Sonic Youth, JJ Cale...</span></span><br />
<br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "inherit","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"><span style="color: lime;">IA</span>: <span style="color: #cccccc;">I notice that before you
decided to go solo, you were in a band called <a href="http://www.ourstage.com/profile/themattpistolproject" target="_blank">“The Matt Pistol Project”</a> what was
it like being a part of that band?</span></span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "inherit","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"><span style="color: #cccccc;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;">HL</span>: <span style="color: #cccccc;">Band is like a family with it's good and bad sides. Maybe the chemistry and
different life situations and too democratic arrangement policy :) broke the
band. And my personal problems then and urge to go solo.. We were bunch of
friends and I'm still continuing to work with Petteri and Markku from TMPP. So
no hard feelings. And boy it was great to support artists like Bonnie Tyler in
front of many thousand peoples!</span><br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" />
<br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "inherit","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"><span style="color: lime;">IA</span>: <span style="color: #cccccc;">In March 2011 you’ve
finally released your debut 5-track EP ‘Run Away With Me’. What was the
inspiration for this EP?</span></span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "inherit","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"><span style="color: #cccccc;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;">HL</span>: <span style="color: #cccccc;">More personal touch was living very hard phase in my life and so it was
therapeutic as well and for more artistic freedom and I wanted to push out more
out of my songs. Oh and finding new love in my life inspired me very much.</span> </span></span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "inherit","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "inherit","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"></span></span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "inherit","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "inherit","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"><span style="color: #cccccc;">So
we started working with Petteri on acoustic vibe and soundscapes and more
acoustic traditional Singer-Songwriter type of thing - but label and we thought
the songs were so good and versatile to be just pure man and guitar type (of
course there is one song of that type too, my first single: "There Is An
Angel For Everyone") that I and label asked my good friend Michael Blair
and previous producer of TMPP (The Matt Pistol Project) to bring his great twisted magic on percussion
and drums and to production and he was in and brought his good friend great Ulf
"Rockis" Ivarsson on the bass and Rockis to work as another producer
as well, and the Finnish- American-Swedish connection we had, worked like a
charm. Yet another top-notch guy a veteran mixing engineer Ollie Olson mixed
the EP and Michael's old buddy Legendary Howie Weinberg mastered the EP on
Masterdisk Studios on New York. Country boy's (Mine that is..) wildest dreams
had come through. And it was great to share the stage with Michael on my EP's release
gig here in Helsinki. He had just arrived from States from Hugh Laurie's tour
and recording sessions. Way cool.</span></span></span><br />

</span>
<span style="color: black; font-family: "inherit","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"><span style="color: lime;">IA</span>: <span style="color: #cccccc;">What is your song writing
process like? And how do you come up with material for the album in process?</span>
</span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "inherit","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;">HL</span>: <span style="color: #cccccc;">I never force myself in songwriting process (You know - like I have to start to
write a song).</span> </span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "inherit","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "inherit","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "inherit","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"></span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "inherit","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "inherit","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "inherit","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"><span style="color: #cccccc;">The arranging and getting the song finished is more "work
like". Sometimes song births from a good lyric line or lyrics that just
comes out of somewhere, of course they somehow reflect my own life to a certain
point, and sometimes I come with a good riff or chord progression and like
great John Fogerty's had said about his songwriting process that when he just
jams with guitar and then plays accidentally wrong note on a chord - - the song
starts to build from that accidental hook. That happens to me a lot too. (Laughing)</span></span></span></span><br />

with the legendary Michael Blair (Tom Waits, Lou Reed, Elvis Costello) and
Ulf”Rockis”Ivarsson (Thåström, N. Dunger) as rhythm section and co-producers.
What was this experience like for you working with them in the studio?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;">HL</span>: <span style="color: #cccccc;">It was great and a dream come true and very, very professional and creative but
in the end we all breathe the same air. So they are still legends in my eyes
but normal, friendly, moody, sensitive guys and friends as well.</span></span><br />

Olli Pirhonen. And wrote the song is of the same name "Conquerors of the

<span style="color: #674ea7;">HL</span>: <span style="color: #cccccc;">Yeah indeed! It was great honor and experience to be part of such huge project
of those Finnish heroes. I knew Olli from the past - he was my good friend's
friend and we used to hang out in our teens sometimes. Olli likes my music and is a
fan and gave me all the freedom - trusted me and that kind of working suits me
well. I read lot of background of the heroes and used them as construction
parts but I wanted the song to be more universal at the same time and when I
got the lyrics ready - I came up with the chorus, well the title was obvious
and then all the rest and then we produced it with Michael,
sending e-mails and speaking on the phone in the middle of the night, (laughing) to get
it to sound right for the project. And the song was ready to give to Publisher and
Olli 4 hours before the deadline. And it was very exciting to hear what they
would say and to my relief they loved it, without wanting to fix anything in
it. I think it's one of my best songs I've written. And all the
"Conquerors" liked it very much as well. And goddamn that felt good.
An alternate version of the song is in the debut LP that is soon coming out.
Our plan is to get it released before the Christmas.</span><br />
