Hi there !
A couple of groundrules, before we start, since I have many bands I will use the following
”codes” if you will, in the header of the post to let you know what the hell I’m blabbering about:
SA = Sonata Arctica
SV = Silent Voices
KS = Klingenberg Syndrome
MCF = Mental Care Foundation
WB = Winterborn
…pretty self-explanatory stuff, right ? The first posts will be about the mastering/videoshoot trip
with SA. I’ll try to give some background info about my other bands in separate posts for those of
you who don’t know these projects etc….
ok, roll the tape…
cheers,
Hank
Wait, Winterborn? I thought you'd only guested on the first album, did Jukka leave?
ReplyDeleteI'll tell you more about it when I post about Winterborn, originally I did just guest on one track on the first album....
DeleteI'm very curious about that :) and now waiting for the third album even more if you're on it!
DeleteI can only find one MCF album that's not for iTunes :(
ReplyDeleteHi there, thanks for the specific data and for taking your time to doing this, it is really appreciated. Btw, Happy New Year!! :D I didn't know anything about Mental Care Foundation or Winterborn, so it'll be great to give it a shot on them.
ReplyDeleteGood luck and keep on it! (Y) Cheers!
Hello Henrik! Nice to see you again) Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteWhat's your role in MCF? Really like the sound.
ReplyDeleteI'm the "singer" ;-)
DeleteI long for the day you stop putting airquotes around singer, lol
DeleteI'm not even exaggerating when I say you're one of my favorite singers and I have mad dreams of a full on duet between you and Tony.
Awesome! Really like the vocals.
DeleteI'm waiting for a duet between Henkka and Tony too! Dude you sing very good!! :D
DeleteHey hey HEY! Add me here, ok? Since I saw some videos on youtube of the acoustic set at the 2012 SA tour when you did second voices for Wanted Dead or Alive I too WANT you and Tony to duet. Really, the counterpoint of both your voices would be AMAZING to hear in a full song (or various songs, just saying ;-)). Think about it, I believe there's a lot more people willing to hear it!!!!
DeleteWoah! Even though this post is some time back, hope you still see comments here... because I have to agree, a duet would just be KILLER!!
DeleteAnd yeah, first comment on your blog, I just finished reading the album making of one, now starting with this one... you're keeping me from work, dammit! But thanks so much for doing this :)
Wow, you're in Winterborn, that's fucking awesome!!
ReplyDeleteI hope I can see you guys again on tour soon, I really dig the first album, and I would love to buy the second one, too :)
You guys will do some "making of" videos, like you did for the Stones Grow Her Name album?
ReplyDeleteI think Tony has a bunch of footage, don't know when he'll get around to edit it since our schedule is just brutal at the moment.
Delete¡Feliz año Sonata!, ¡nos vemos pronto en Argentina!
ReplyDeleteHi, will you be coming back to the UK?
ReplyDeleteAt the moment there are no dates planned, hopefully we'll be able to work something out.
DeleteHope so, we missed SA and SV gigs last year :( couldn't get time off work
DeleteI really like the album Silent Voice.
ReplyDeletePlease answer!! Are you coming to Sweden this year?? I'm a huge fan of Sonata Arctica, admire your work!
ReplyDeleteWe might do some festivals in Sweden but at the moment, nothing scheduled, we always update show as soon as they're confirmed...on our FB page and on the official SA page....
DeleteThat's really a shame:/ Hope I'll catch you at a festival then ;-)
DeleteHey Henkka,
ReplyDeleteSending some congrats from the U.S. to you and all the guys for Finland winning the gold in the world juniors today! It was a wild game and I hope you had a chance to see it and do some partying as well :-)
Cheers!
Didn't party but I did see the game...and nearly had a heart-attack, really intense stuff and fucking awesome that we won !!! So, thanks for the congrats ;-)
