the third “making of” film is now online!

Check it out what happened in the guitar recordings!

another 365 days gone by

The year for us is wrapped! Yesterday we had a great final show of the year at the Tampere! After that show we are very much convinced that the next year will blow our all minds. The new album “Embrace Your Demons” is coming along with a lots of more stuff to be excited for. In January we celebrate the six years anniversary with this group but I’m glad to tell you that you haven’t heard anything yet! Happy new year and stay tuned!

starting a new chapter

No Sign of Life parts away with guitarrists Harri Mäkelä and Otto Blomqvist. The decision hides no drama behind itself. We love these fellows from the bottom of our hearts and they’ll remain our friends after this six-years-long awesome journey together. This will not either affect on anything coming in the near future. The last show of the year at the Tampere will not be canceled and the new album, Embrace Your Demons, is coming out as planned, 2012. NSOL want’s you to understand that this was something that needed to be done, for everyone’s sake.  A new era will begin and hopefully you’ll all stay with us to see where it leads to!

No Sign of Lifen ja kitaristien Harri Mäkelän ja Otto Blomqvistin tiet erkanevat. Syy tähän ei kätke taakseen minkäänlaista draamaa, vaan enemmänkin helpoitusta tulevaisuuteen. Me välitämme Harrista ja Otosta edelleen kuin veljistä ja tarkoitus on pysyä hyvinä ystävinä tulevaisuudessakin. Tämä ei tule myöskään vaikuttamaan lähitulevaisuuden tapahtumiin. Tampereen keikalla kitaran varressa tuuraa Teemu Liekkala. Myös tuleva albumi “Embrace Your Demons” tullaan julkaisemaan suunnitellusti vuona 2012. NSOL haluaa tehdä selväksi, että tämä ei ole missään tapauksessa minkään loppu. Tämä oli jotain mikä oli tehtävä, jotta hommat jatkuisi mukavasti kaikkien kannalta. Uusi aikakausi tulee alkamaan ja toivottavasti kaikki teistä pysyy mukana, minne se ikinä meitä viekään!

Wou!! The album is recorded! Antti did absolutely amazing job with the vocals and I can assure you, this is something to wait for. Next Harri “Spider” Mäkelä will play couple of solos and then it’s time for the mixing. Teemu “KäppänäKeppana” Liekkala is already streching his fingers and purifying his mind from everything else.

leaking boots & bloodsuckers

Last saturday we completed the last of the album photoshoots with photographer Tatu Blomqvist. All we can say is the whole artwork concept is going to be very different from CTON’s style and that we’re going back to our roots. Maybe you’ll be able to spot some of the locations from the forthcoming making-of videos!

watch out!

Thanks to Elina Ström our new look got it’s final cherry on the top. Actually, these new outfits are “The Look”! On the weekend we will have another photoshoot and in following weeks it’s time to reveal the first making-of-film(s) from the studio. The album is almost ready for mixing so stay tuned for more news!

progress

Alright fellows! Guitars and basses are now recorded. We got everything that reminds you of No Sign of Life but sooo much more. We’ve found ourselves during these recordings and this is the sound of NSOL. It’s so heavy while being  light as a feather, at the same time. How a feather can crush a man? That’s what you’re going to find out later! On thursday 18th of August Antti will hit to the studio with some mighty melodies and crowls so brutal that the earth is  shaking already. Be prepared! This is it.
