Kinetik Control's sophomore album, tentatively titled as "Only Truth Remains", is now ready. See below for tracklisting.

After a series of breakups and breakdowns, a bunch of million dollar riffs and a few slumsounds, the guitar recordings were finally finished. We had to hold a few week break in between due to some personal shit and a heavy listening of the new Alice In Chains album, but that’s how it always goes, right? Also we had to show the door for our “permanent” session helper Jack Tragedy, but jazz and rock do differ you know. We wish Tragedy all the best, thanks for helping us out man! This resulted in me having to replay some of Tragedy’s parts due to the requirements of the perilous producer, forever-Entwined Aksu Hanttu.

Aksu also whipped my ass in the studio for two weeks right in the middle of Finland’s hottest summer in middle July, forcing me to regurgitate these goddamn thirteen songs over and over again up to the point I almost had to call it quits. However, my very good friend and mentor, a person I totally look up to, Michael Monroe of the legendary Hanoi Rocks fame, was in the studio to help me out and to take part in the recordings by laying out some vocals and a few infectiously catchy sax and harp solos. Be sure to check out how we tee it off in Strangled In Stereo, the heaviest piece of shit we’ve ever made. Hallelujah!

Now I am in the middle of recording the backing vocals and finalizing the keyboards with my man in the mirror, Dexter the great. A looking in view, indeed!

Howdy everybody!

Bass guitar recordings for the second album are done. I went to the Grooveland studios in Lahti (100km east from Helsinki) in Thu & Fri 25.-26.6. with recorder/producer Aksu Hanttu. The first day went pretty much with technical work and looking for a good bass sound. We managed to record 4 songs in first day and the rest 9 in the second day. So it was a busy second day! :) Studio was great with professional equipment and good acoustics... well, that can u expect of course. We managed to achieve a great sound with my gear (Ampeg amps, Ibanez bass, MXR pedals). Working with Aksu was really nice and smooth, he is a very nice guy and a great professional!! No surprise he's been working with many of the top finnish and european bands during his career. So overally 13 songs were recorded and I'm well satisfied and looking forward to hear the mixings later on!! Recordings are now continuing with the vocal recordings.. Pictures coming up later on!!! Many thanks for Aksu for the great job done!

Cheers and stay tuned!!

Hey all,


We've posted a small feature made from our guitar recordings to Youtube. Check it our here:

Hello everybody! I'm happy to inform you that drums for the new Kinetik Control album are done. I entered Tico Tico -studio in Kemi on 25th May to bash down the tracks. I managed to nail in the songs in one and a half day instead of three, so apparently hard work does pay up and guys can start their parts little bit earlier. Working with Ahti was really easy and smooth so recording at Tico Tico couldn't have gone any better.
