As the voices start to fade away and the numbing silence takes over

It's been a while, but like always, I wanted to wait untill I have something real to write. Album's now out from our hands and being mixed, all that is left to do is to wait. All I can say that it's been a ride, for the last year it's been a real rollercoaster of emotions and it's strange to look back at it all. A year ago, around these parts of the year, I was thinking about our band and couldn't see any other outcome than giving it up and walking away from a part of my life that had been a huge part of my very existence for the last decade at that point. The overwhelming negativity and disrespect towards my work that I was doing and had done had taken the best of me and I had lost all my interest and swlf esteem as a musician and as a composer. When for the past few years mostly everything I had ever heard was how our music sucks and all the gigs and work were useless, I eventually started to believe it myself. I don't want to point any fingers, but eventually it was evident that the line up we had, had to change or it would destroy the whole band. At that point I had already started making new songs for another band that I started gathering together. But eventually air cleared out with new lineup and things started to fall into places. Now when I look back at that time, I can't believe how much has changed in one year as we are getting ready to release the new album. Now I am once again proud of what we have done and eager to present the outcome that tops our debut album in every aspect.

So, what's the situation? Instead of rushing the release, we decided to push it back for a little longer, just a month or so, to get it finetuned just the way it should be and to get the best outcome that we can get. It's been almost five years since Metamorphosis and after that much time, we didn't want to release anything that is rushed, instead of something that will make the five year wait worth the while. Things are moving forward. We now have a release date, our single is picked out and album release gig has been booked, which I'll return to later when it's time for it. There are also other exciting things happening and it looks like that this time around there might be chance to do some things that weren't possible the last time around.

This album might be just what we need to help us climb to the next step and I'm eager to see if that happens or not. Hang in there, just a little bit longer, it'll be worth it, I promise

  1. Dear Teemu,
    I've got to tell you that for me, Crib45 is The Best band EVER and Metamorphosis is The Best album of my life! I've lived every moment of its songs... in my darkest days, in good or bad moments, when no other music makes sense to me, your music heals me, helps me, makes me strong.

    Just wanted to tell, that you're guys are THE BEST!
    Really don't know how to thank you all for bringing such these masterpieces to the world!

    P.S. : Can't wait for the new album! @};- :)
