Rockshots Records – Finnish Thrashers TakaLaiton Shares Sauna Guitar Playthrough “Rip N’ Burn”

New Album “Mindfection” Out Now!

There’s only one to shred in Finland and that’s ripping guitar riffs while having yourself sauna. Takalaiton wants to show you how thrash is done the Finnish way with their latest guitar playthrough for their track “Rip N’ Burn” off their new album “Mindfection” produced by Teemu Aalto (Omnium Gatherum, Insomnium) unleashed this past July from Rockshots Records.

Watch and shred to the guitar playthrough for “Rip N’ Burn” via its premiere on TechnicalMusicReview HERE.

Hailing from Finland’s far north, TakaLaiton garners a powerful melodic groove thrash-influenced attitude that is best seen in their super-energetic live shows that have always left fans with a sore neck and bruises from the moshpit. With a risk-taking thrash-fueled demeanor, TakaLaiton superbly blends fast-paced energy, and a bone-crushing groove, with melodies that can only be inspired by the dark, depressing, and frigid far-north. Not to mention the band’s lyrical onslaught, sung in both Finnish and English. Since their inception, the band has covered a lot of territories while on tour, bringing their rowdy stage presence to the Scandinavian regions, the rest of Europe, and Asian continents.

TakaLaiton has a “break the rules, exceed all limits” approach, as their name suggests; deriving from a Finnish baseball term for “swing the ball over the borders”. With that fierce frame of mind, the band has won “Heavy Metal Heart 11” a National Music Contest in Finland; and is ready to follow up their 2019 double EP “SisuKastraatio I & II” with 2023’s “Mindfection”, their first full-length that is based on today’s society, where we as people do everything to be a part of it and what’s sickening to the band is that people are ready to do anything in the name of couple minutes of fame. This album is based on this sick way our world has come to be.

The band adds about “Mindfection”:

“We think this will be the album that the TakaLaiton fans will consider a classic in the future. The well-known crushing sound and the rage are in there with the heartwarming melodies, which TakaLaiton fans are familiar with. We are absolutely psyched about the album’s release and the fact it’s coming through Rockshots Records! We spent literally everything we had when it comes to effort and money on this album and the final result turned out to be magnificent with the producer Teemu Aalto. With our great partners in Rockshots Records, we know that this album will find everybody that it has to!”

TakaLaiton‘s new album “Mindfection” was released on July 28th, 2023, and is recommended for fans of Pantera, Slipknot, and Testament.

Rockshots Records – Prepare For A Thrash Feast From Finland’s TakaLaiton’s New Album “Mindfection”

New Visualizer “Mies Miestä Vastaan”

Prepare yourselves for a thrash feast as Finland’s TakaLaiton is unleashing their debut album “Mindfection” produced by Teemu Aalto (Omnium Gatherum, Insomnium) available now as of July 28th, 2023 via Rockshots Records.

For the album’s release day, the band is sharing their latest visualizer for the track “Mies Miestä Vastaan”.

“One of the very first songs that we’re made to the album. Rehearsing this track probably started already in 2020 when we started to spin it back and forth, but Janne came up with the lyrics for it probably not sooner than 2021.” adds the band.

Rockshots Records – It’s Time To “Get What You Asked For” New Video From Finnish Thrashers TakaLaiton

New Album “Mindfection” Out July 2023

It’s time to “Get What You Asked For” as you enter the monstrous moshing pit from Finnish thrashers TakaLaiton and their new music video in support of their debut album “Mindfection” produced by Teemu Aalto (Omnium Gatherum, Insomnium) being released on July 28th, 2023 via Rockshots Records.

The second single “Get What You Asked For” is the purest form of TakaLaiton‘s musical mayhem. The lyrics are based on today’s society in the way of how we’re nothing but ready to kill our own if we don’t think the same about everything in general along with the idea that everything and everyone has a price.

“Corporations are ready to destroy mother nature for the sake of the dollar and everyone who stands in their way has a price that makes them back off,” adds the band.

“Get What You Asked For” came together in one hungover morning at Laiton Studio when the band was having a songwriting weekend. Vocalist/guitarist Juho came up with the riffs for the song, but he was missing a chorus riff. Pasi, the band’s lead guitarist added that in and the band managed to build the song structure on that very day. Not long after that, Juho wrote the lyrics in two days.
