LÄHDÖN AIKA - II LP
(Doomed To Misery Recordings / Rusto-Osiris / Rämekuukkeli-levyt)
It has been a pleasure to follow the career of Finnish doom band Lähdön Aika. One important reason for this is that they have never ceased to progress. And in spite of constant development they have not lost their original sound and style and at the same time the band has succeeded to refine their music towards sheer perfection. During the years their music has turned heavier, harsher and more crushing, dropping out all the unnecessary elements. Year 2010 started a new era for Lähdön Aika. Lineup changes brought solidness and freshness to the band's sound. The new album is the jewel of the creative period that followed.
The process of making the LP was not a short one. It took a lot of time, effort and careful work to get the album ready. The first demos of the new material were made already over two years ago but the real recording process started in March 2014 and was finished in the August 2014. Songs were not recorded in one specific studio but in many different locations in southern Finland. Album was mixed by Mikko Herranen in 5by5 studio and mastered by Jaakko Viitalähde in Virtalähde Mastering. Band photo by Toni Salminen. Artwork by Vlad von Haddock. Layout and additional photos by Oslon Parhaat Kalat. Pressing is 300 copies. Includes a download code. A tape version may be released later.
