The Rasmus - International Forum

[Clomery]

Hi everybody!! In new Soundi (8/2008) there's an interview with Lauri (3 pages) about Black Roses. Here's a list with the most important information:

- Justify will be the second single. It is dark and emotional, a little slow and Depeche Mode-like song.
- The duet with Anette Olzon is "too good to be a B-side" and will maybe be released on a movie soundtrack.
- Black Roses is a theme album. It tells the tale of one person who is a combination of Lauri and fiction. Desmond had 100 pages of text by a professor, "how to write a perfect manuscript to a movie". The design is based on that article.
- before they went to Nashville Lauri, Pauli and Desmond wrote songs at a small island with no airport or tourists in Greece
- Guitars and basses are mostly recorded at Dynasty Studios. They recorded usually new parts there where they happened to be at the time.
- Lauri says The Rasmus will efort to US markets and Desmond's name could help them in doing that though Lauri admits some people might think Desmond has already made his hits. The Rasmus has sold 120 000 records in USA, but now they hope to do a good tour there and have more fame.
- Lauri thinks three years are too long between two albums but now the album is better prepared. Still it was rewarding to play in new places on Hide from the Sun tour, for example when they sold platinium in India due to the shows they played there.
- They'll have to choose the songs they will play live in the following tour. First they are gonna do an acoustic radio tour in Germany. New songs they will play for sure are Ten Black Roses and The Fight.
- Lauri says he won't move away from Finland like Pauli who has moved to Singapore because he still likes to live in Finland.
- Lauri has bought a boat this sommer (he lives by the sea) and he tries to enjoy free time. Now when they're more relaxed it's easier to make more songs and Lauri has a little recorder with him. Like when he's been at a gig he maybe creates a new riff and the band can test those ideas at soundchecks.
-EDIT: the album hasn't got yet a release date in the United Kingdom, U.S. and Japan. The tour in Europe starts in the beginning of January.

Sorry for this quite poor summary but I think there were the most important new facts.

Thanks Clomery, what a lovely article!

Justify sounds interesting, even though I'd love 10BR as a single let's see how Justify is!

Aki and the article aren't saying the same Aki said it would be a B-side but movie soundtrack would sound ok...except that last time I looked you couldn't buy single tracks of movie soundtracks I hope you can now?

I can't really imagine them reading a "professor's manuscript" really but if they did it's cool

Acoustic radio tour in Germany? Cool!

I knew Pauli had moved to Singapore...that was said somewhere already but it's still funny

Thanks for posting and translation

I'm glad to hear that they have some tourdates in mind for Europe. And I know that Janaury is still far away. It's better for me financel and time.

The acoustic tour sounds really promising, hopefully it will be put on the internet
