About Me

2007-03-24: The last news are always bad
As some of you might have wondered the lack of information considering the band known as Soulrelic, aka Kurakello (inside joke, don't ask) here's some: Currently the status of this band is unsigned and unexisting, as we see no continuum for Soulrelic as a demo band.
Some of us will continue making music with different instances, but at the moment there's no light at the end of the tunnel for this band. No dramatics we're involded in this separation, and we'll remain as very close friends with each other.
But never say never. There is still a slight chance that someday we'll write new material, but if it ever happens, it won't happen in the near future.
So long, and thanks for all the fish.
Soulrelic comes from Northern Finland and plays goth-flavoured melodic rock, and it is expected to be the newcomer of the year! The first single of the band, the excellent "Hollow Craving" is going to be released on April 13. The single is produced by Aksu Hanttu from Entwine, and it is mixed by Mikko Karmila at Finnvox Studios in Helsinki. Mika Jussila was responsible for the mastering.The album of Soulrelic, "Love Is A Lie We Both Believed", must be waited until fall, but the second single will be released this summer.Soulrelic is formed by Tommy Suomala (vocals), Antza Talala (guitar), Pecu Talala (bass), Jay Hölli (keyboards) and Raymond Pohjola (drums). The group is going on tour on March together with To/Die/For. The tour begins 24.3 from Germany and continues until the middle of April. In addition to Germany the tour covers Italy, France, Switzerland, Belgium and Austria.New pictures from one fan :)

Hobbies: Movies...? (Where the hell is my spare time???) ;)
Musical background: My family background is quite musical, so I grew up with music and instruments. At first I learned to play some melodies by piano and later on my father showed me a couple chords for guitar. I got my very first guitar at christmas 1984 (toy Stratocaster made of plastic) ;).The first band I got in to as a drummer, was a punk-band called "Tasohöylä". Classical music has allways been close to my heart so I begun to take classical guitar lessons. Soon I realized that it couldn't satisfy the beast within... ;) So I sold my soul to the Rock music.
