The number on the name Cobra 1981 refers to the year that the band was founded in Finnish town of Kuortane. It’s not that typical that over 40 year old heavy metal band releases their debut single. But who says that you cannot beging your career as a recording artist when you are over 60? Here it is, the song “Vanha Kuoma” from 1980’s performed with today’s experience and skills.

Listen to “Vanha Kuoma” on music services: https://push.fm/fl/cobra1981-vanhakuoma

Their debut album will be released in spring 2024. Some of the songs are almost 40 years old and some more recent compositions. The band’s line-up consists all the founding members with couple of new recruitments of witch the youngest just celebrated his 50th birthday.

The album is energetic there is high tempo songs with heavy metal vocals and cinematic lyrics in the spirit of NWOBHM. On the other songs the atmosphere is ominous and on some parts power ballad -like. The album has been captured as studio live so the tight played experienced touch has a hint of roughness in it.

“Vanha Kuoma” is a story about a sea captain who in his darkest moment lean into his most precious treasure and his best friend – the ship . But the sea is merciless and the captain cannot escape his destiny.

Production, studio engineering ja mix: Arttu Volanto
Mastering engineer: Mika Jussila / Finnvox

Asko Ylinen – Vocals
Juha Sippola – Guitar & Backing vocals
Jukka Laitila – Guitar
Reijo Hakola – Bass & Backing vocals
Seppo Patteri – Drums

Tomy Laisto a musician from bands like Hateform, Pain Confessor, Mors Principium Est, Omnium Gatherum and Arc Spectra. He is about to release first full length album as a solo artist with his own name. First single from the album “This Summer” is now released on music services.

Listen to the single: https://push.fm/fl/tomylaisto-thissummer

Tomy backgrounds the song:

“The song came about on a august evening on my terrace when i felt the changing of season in the air from summer to fall. You can sense it somehow. It is about ending of a strained relationship, knowing what is about to come is inevitable and just knowing it the same way you know the season will come to an end.”

The single is including guest appearances by Derek Sherinian (Dream Theater, Sons of Apollo, Alice Cooper, Planet X, Black Country Communion, Yngwie Malmsteen) and Christian Määttä (Arc Spectra).

“Production-wise ,after a couple fortunate events, i was able to get Mr. Derek Sherinian to handle all the keyboard duties on “This Summer”. He really played a tremendous role on how the song came to be, not forgetting to mention Christian Määttä , who played drums on the song! If you listen closely, you can hear some backing vocals provided by my daughter Emma, who is showing signs of becoming an artist in the future!” Tomy Laisto continues.
