Artist: LAHO
Album: The Other Side
Year: 2007
Laho is a one man industrial/electro metal project from
Finland. This project was formed in 2006 by Konsta
Vehkala, and 2007 brought us already the release of the
second demo 'The Other Side'. It consists of seven
tracks, all recorded and mixed in his home studio.
After the intro called 'Superangst', which has touches
of ambient and electro metal, the release got its "real"
kickoff with 'Rebirth'. It consists of spastic sampling,
bashing programming works and strong distorted guitars.
The well-added keylines give the track an electronic
attitude. 'Surrealism' kicks off with harsh industrial
works. What follows is an accessable industrial metal
track that gets more brutal and mature at the end. 'Failed'
is an easy going track with atmospheric keylines and
wicked industrial work. Next up we have the title track
of this EP, split in two parts. Part one is a dark
ambient track, which is a good intro for part two - an
original electro metal track with harsh old school
sampling and a great outro. 'Wrong' is the final track
of the release. In my opinion this is the best track of
the release. It's an uptempo track with excellent
keylines, strong guitars and powerful programming, which
gives it a modern and danceable attitude.
Laho offers you stuff you wont hear every day. Each song
sounds like a different kind of experiment, which makes
it possible that different tracks appeal to different
people. The curious ones among you should really give
this one man project a shot - the EP is downloadable on
their official site: http://beam.to/laho. And if you
wonder why I didn't mention anything about the vocals -
there aren't any!
