Finnish musician Tomy Laisto from bands like Hateform, Pain Confessor, Mors Principium Est, Omnium Gatherum and Arc Spectra releases his first full length album ‘Penumbra’ as a solo artist with his own name on June 7th 2024.
Final single before the album release ‘Sun Under’ has been released.
Tomy tells about the song:
“Sometimes the song just comes to you and this is exactly what happened here. I’ve always loved bands like Kingston Wall so i wanted to make a trippy, dreamlike song in that vein, almost like a poem. While being fully aware of the title being ‘incorrect’ grammatically, the title just resided so persistently between my ears so i left it as it is. To me, it contributes to the dreamy atmosphere of the song, which is about searching something, a peace of mind. One of the most personal songs of the album for me.”

Finnish musician Tomy Laisto from bands like Hateform, Pain Confessor, Mors Principium Est, Omnium Gatherum and Arc Spectra is about to release first full length album as a solo artist with his own name.
New single, alt country-flavored song ‘Circular Spill’ from the upcoming album is now released on music services.
The single features singer Rainer Nygård from legendary Finnish metal band Diablo as guest vocalist.
Tomy tells about the song:
“This one came out when i tried to make a countryish song but it turned out something completely different. Things sometimes go in circles and ‘Circular Spill’ is like a testimony or a penance in a way. Been knowing Rainer for a number of years, i knew he had a soft spot for Kris Kristoffersson and Jason Isbell, among others, and when asked he was ready an’ willing to do it! Rainer’s vocals are really powerful and he really did lift this song up which i am grateful of! At the ending i got to plug my Fender Strat a bit to add some more epicness and it turned out sweet!”

Finnish musician Tomy Laisto from bands like Hateform, Pain Confessor, Mors Principium Est, Omnium Gatherum and Arc Spectra is about to release first full length album as a solo artist with his own name.
Second single, whiskey blues and jazzy-flavored song ‘Drywall’ from the upcoming album has been released.
Tomy backgrounds the song:
“‘Drywall’ was originally composed for an old group of mine, it was stuck in a drawer for a period of time and i didn’t know what to do with it. I contacted my old music teacher Iiro Salmi, from elementary school asking if he would like to add some keyboards and he liked the song, and did it! He can be seen on the video as well! The lyrics were written in a dark moment, when you feel like everything is a mess and you just bang your head against the wall. And even the wall gives up on you!”
