krivoj transkript by L.M. Heartagram Day 2009.02.07 - Alright everyone. This is the Celtic Angel and you’re listening to Euro-Rocks radio’s Heartagram Day party and we have our very special guest on the phone now – Ville…
- Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey dear people!
- (nervnyj smex) Alright. We’re very very thankful for you doing this for us. And I really appreciate it.
- Oh, we’ve just started. Nothing’s done yet, so don’t blame me.
- You answered the phone. So, it’s good.
- Oh, yeah, that was the easy part.
- Yeah. So how is there in Helsinki right now?
- Euhm. It’s cold. It’s eeh…I don’t know. I don’t go out that much. It seems to be snowing. That’s the thing I can see from my (??). I haven’t been doing anything, so I’m trying to get rid off fever and writing new songs. So, that’s my main thing at the moment I’m working on. You know, we’ve just started rehearsing with the band couple of weeks ago, and everything’s going really well with the new songs. Gas and his lady, they’ve got their first baby. About three weeks ago. So it’s been very positive couple of weeks.
- Well, congratulations to Gas, you have to tell him “congrats” from us.
- Mh, mh.
- (dikij rzhach)
- I’ve seen couple of pictures, and unfortunately it does have a lot... the baby’s got the resemblance is clearly there. (chio to takoe)
- (opiat rzhach)
- I would have hoped it was the other way, but eh, since she is the (?), sweet as eh.. you know, whatever, but.. you can’t have it all, it seems.
- (rzhach) Well, speaking of the new album, how is that going? It’s going good?
- Ehm, you know, we just started. I’ve got about.. we’ve worked on 5 songs now and we’re gonna demo them in a while, maybe month- two months, and I’ll be heading over to the States to hook up with some label people and talk about possible producers and stuff, so…It’s going to be pretty intense within next couple of months. You know, the music is not too (?) what it’s been. It’s not as Sabbathy, it’s more straight to the point, more, I’m calling it –80s ??? Rock with balls of steel. So, it’s not what we’ve done before, but it’s tough to say. Basically, at this moment in time we’re just heading to the rehearsal-place everyday and picking up instruments and just seeing where that music takes us.
- Well, that’s good. I know you’ve talked recently about deciding where you’re going to record. Have you given any more thought to that yet?
- I’m quite certain that we ain’t going to record in Finland. Since…when our Venus Doom tour... we got down with the tour, when was it, last August or something. We’ve been pretty hell a lot of time off, and everybody was spending it over here in Helsinki, more or less. And ehm, I wanna get out. It’s just cold, dark, and I love it here, you know, my parents are here, and I’ve got couple of friends, and stuff like that. But, I’d rather wanna see our band concentrate just on music, than trying to sort out their everyday life, like changing diapers, you know, of Gas, of a baby I mean. And I thought, hopefully doing somewhere in America, I don’t know; it’s all depending on a producer. And we still haven’t had any, you know, we… Since I’m kinda like waiting for us to be ready to do the demo – we’re gonna demo couple of songs here in Finland and then once our demo’s done then I’m going to fly over and hopefully meet some people who’d be excited working with us. So, since nothing’s done yet it’s up to me to stop (??) about how good the music is, and how good the next album’s gonna be. I don’t know.
- Oh, I’m sure it’s going to be great.
- Oh, well, you know- thank you.
- (gygygy) oh, Venus.. I mean Venus Doom is really good.
- Yeah, but you know, we’re gonna try different things out, and we’re gonna take risks and went fairly far down that path, you know, into that Gloomy-Doomy territory, so…So, we’re gonna do something more straightforward and direct, you know, with the new one, so…All the new songs are clocking under 4 minutes and they’re very straight to the point. So that’s an exciting thing for us, you know. Not jam for 8 minutes in a row or whatever, so there’s definitely not going to be songs like Sleepwalking Past Hope on the forthcoming album, even though I love Sleepwalking Past Hope, you know, it’s a great song for me to have like 3 cigarette breaks within the actual song, like just walk off stage and eat a hamburger if I want. There are so many (??) and so many solos. But I guess it’s just for our own sake we need to try out things and, you know… you know, nowadays it’s same old, same old, it gets boring after a while, especially a lot of people don’t realise that the band works on it maybe 2 years before it gets releases and then they tour with it for about year and a half or something. So, it’s a long time living with those songs, so obviously you wanna try out something different, you know. Once the tour is done and everything, you’re just over with it.
- Right
- So, it’s like relationship in general.
- (rzhach) Yeah, touring is something… ehh, we gave everybody a chance to email questions for you and we’ll pick some of those in a little while. We got over 300 emails, but…
- We gonna talk super-fast, you know.
- Ha, I’m not going to do all of them. A lot of people were asking about touring and of course wondering when tour is going to start, and… Obviously, it’s going to be after the album comes out, but.. ehm…
- Oh, I don’t know, I don’t know yet, because you’ve got to remember that summer is happening and there’s gonna be a lot of festivals. And I don’t know, it’s… you know, within maybe the next 2 month we get a rough idea when and with whom we’re gonna record the album; and we know that, that enables us to speculate on the possibility of doing some touring during the summer. Maybe doing one of those festivals you’ve got in the States, or.. I just don’t know.
- Right
- You know, it’d be lovely to play some but not too much. I don’t want anything to get in the way of making the best album we can.
- Right, exactly. Well, I think everybody will understand that. Yeah, everybody’s anxious, and I’ve got emails from all over the world saying “ you haven’t been here in 10 years, when are you coming back” and.. it’s a hard question (haha)
- Mhhh, that’s so very sweet, it’s… The only problem is that if somebody’s saying that we haven’t been there in 10 years that usually means that that person is the only one wanting us to go there. And since being in this kind of a band, we do have expenses, we do have, you know, trust monkeys (kazhetsia ja pralno tut poniala), we have people setting up a stage, and tuning our guitars and they are not super cheap, so we don’t have the opportunity of playing everywhere in the world at all times. Otherwise we would be on a constant tour like Bob Dilan, or something like that. But, we turn the lights and get material as well, which Bob doesn’t have to do anymore, so it’s a different kind of situation.
- Well, speaking I guess of touring and shows, Helldone, this past Helldone was bigger than usual, you added some extra shows. What made you to decide to do that?
- To be honest, I don’t know. I don’t remember who came up… I came up with the idea, oh my god, yeah. Now, we think, you know…obviously, previous year we had Fields of Nephelim playing here, and we got a few international acts as well. But, unfortunately, the time-frame of Helldone, you know, New Year’s eve and around that it’s tough for us to get any bands to play those dates out of the year, because that’s the only time all of the bands take time off of their touring and they’re spending time with their families, so it was impossible for us to get any.. because originally we were thinking of playing a lot bigger venue- not just HIM, but making it like a proper big festival here in Helsinki, but we didn’t have the opportunity of booking any cool bands. I’ve been trying to get Turbo Negro to play the festival for the past 6 years, but…
- Oh, that’d be awesome.
- You know, that’s one of my favourite bands of all times, we covered their songs and they’re very inspirational in various ways. But anyway, you know, it’s just, that didn’t work so we wanted to, I wanted to figure out the way to make it more exciting for the band, to make something new happen rather than just playing in Tavastia Club on New Year, so. Then somebody, I guess it was me, just came up with the idea that- let’s play in the Northern part of Finland as well, because we haven’t been there since like 2001-2002, something like that, so. For us it was something like travelling abroad to a new country we haven’t played in ages. That was very exciting in that sense.
- Do you think you’ll do it again this next Helldone or no clue yet?
- At the moment I feel kind of done with Helldone. We’ve done 10 years in a row, and thinking about –it’s been already 10 years – it just makes everybody in the band feel extremely old. And it’s not necessarily the best way for a rock band to feel. But, I don’t know, the only problem and the limitation seems to be the time frame. It’s so tough to get bands to play that festival, so. It’s been going long pretty well, but it’s like we wanna try out something different, but where to go to… because trying to book a band from, let’s say, Type O’Negative from America, the whole band, you know, it’s ridiculously expensive to fly one band from Brooklyn, New York, over to Finland for one (???). You just play one gig, it’s the flights, it’s the accommodations, everything, it’s like, it’s not worth it. Because, there’s a not a single band that is on tour at that time of the year and that makes the situation even more complicated, so. There’s a lot of those kind of little things that not necessarily everybody knows about. You know, not necessarily average club-goers, but people who just go to enjoy rock’n’roll and beer. You know, there’s a lot of thing to upset us, the whole band, but.. it could be easier if we just start the whole partying in, like, June, or something like that. Just take it as summer festival, but that sucks too. There’s like 200 summer festivals in Finland, so I don’t think we have the ability to compete with them, with the good ones.
- Oh, you can come do it here, cause there’s not enough summer festivals in the U.S.
- Oh, there’s not enough good ones.
- Exactly
- Ahm, I just don’t know, you know. That’s an old thing, that’s a funny thing, there’s a side project of our band, and mine, and you know, but that’s not what I do. I’m trying to write songs and we’re trying to make an album happen. I can care less for Helldone at this particular moment of time. You can’t do it all at the same time, you just can’t, so. You know, you gotta have your priorities, and now it’s obviously getting rid of fever and being in tip-top shape for Monday’s rehearsal.
- Yeah, yeah. Well, speaking of side projects. Madagascar 2- how did that come about?
- I wish I could have done the English version. That was just something (??) from the company that did the translation and asked me to do it. And, you know, I grew up watching a lot of cartoons and animated movies as everybody does. So, I grew up with Disney and lots of those films, so obviously I thought that it’s a real fun thing to do. And it was nothing particularly spectacular about it. I was asked to do it, and I said “Yes”, because I wanted to do something respectable. And, it’s funny how a musician are not necessarily respected for what they do, but when a musician all of a sudden does a few lines as a hippo, all of a sudden you do have some sense of credibility. So, now I’m fully credible thank to hippo.
- A hippo that now millions of HIM fans all over the world are worshipping, practically.
- Oh, well well. He seems to be as unlucky in love as me, so. We share a lot of things and it was very easy for me to do. I didn’t have to (?) or act, it was all me. It’s just a couple of hundred pounds difference between me and him, but that’s about it.
