Great song. I like that video too. Was it "Vares" what Timo watched in that video? Good advertising gimmick

Absolutely great video

Nevermind my question in the "now playing" thread.
I guess there's another Timo K. solo album in our midst?

Yep, damn good song; really fun video. New cd should be out in February according to reports.
While there maybe enought other topics in other forums, I think this is the only one here....no?

In this section, yes. There's one in other discussions too, and I guess on the finnish side too.

I don't speak finnish either, so why shouldn't be there one topic in the English section?
Yeah, video is cool, song rocks, though I think the chorus is not that much inspiring...

But well, I liked the simplicity and down-to-earth heaviness of "Coldness", so this is a good outlook to his next album, IMO.

Yes, that song is the main theme of the movie actually. It's called Vares 2... Our Finnish friends can say mor about it.

The movie will see it´s premiere on January 12th in Finland. Totally Finnish spoken movie. But surely it´ll come a hit in Finland I believe.
Something more from TK´s MySpace blogs like this:
Studio update p2
Hello,
Most of the songs are mixed by now. Mikko is about to mix the last song in a couple of weeks and then the music is done. I don´t have the title or the artwork yet. We also shot a music video for one of the songs. The song will be on a Finnish movie "Vares 2" which will have it´s premiere January 12th 2007. The song is a main theme and can be heard when the credits are scrolling at the end of the movie. The music video will included clips from the movie . Some of the actors who are playing the characters on these clips are my personal friends and are very well known in Finland.
That´s all for now. Stay tuned
Timo

Even though I don't speak Finnish, I'm willing to bet the dialogue to that movie will be more entertaining to me than most of the crap that is in the movie theaters these days.

I really love the guitar solo and the song isn't bad either, maybe just a bit too traditional hard rock -song.
Vares is probably the greatest Finnish movie I've seen (others being Star Wreck: In The Pirkinning

and Häjyt), so I'll definetly go see Vares 2 as well.

Well, actually, in the official website it says that the single will be out on 1/10.
And this:
Timo K. wrote:1.12.2006 / The album is mixed!
Now the album is finally completely mixed!
I will do the mastering as soon as I have decided the order of the tracks.
Once again Mikko Karmila did a superb sound for the album. This might be the best Kotipelto-album ever but then again I am too close to my music to give you any real review.
More info about the single, video and the album a bit later.
Great, even the cover for the single's out.

Yeah, before I´ve never liked that guitarist much (and also the songs he has made for jonna´s Problem were IMO quite empty), that solo nearly blew me up. It was so incredible!

Appreciation grows.

All I care about is that there's a new Kotipelto album in our midst!
That makes the waiting for Strato a little---no, a LOT---more bearable!
