The Rasmus news, news

[~*kate*~]

Post here your rasmus news, you can make a new topic if its something important or if you wanna talk about it. Don't go offtopic here :offtopic:


The Rasmus won the Best International Artist price at the MTV Russia Awards 2004 in Moscow on Saturday, October 16th. The band also performed In The Shadows at the gala. Thanks to all Russian fans who voted!

TR finished their mini tour in Japan and now there's going back in the studios to record the new album.

Next album will come out next autumn. By now, they've done 6 demos already, between sound checks and in the tour bus while touring. There's gonna be a cover of a song (Pet Shop Boy - It's A Sin probably). And one song called "My Immortal". I read somewhere there's gonna be 16 songs on the album, but its pretty hard to make 16songs in one shot. no? Not sure about that lol..

And for the touring, well its difficult to tour AND record at the same time, and anyway they've already gone almost everywhere they were really famous to tour, no need to come back in those cities

They'll probably do a tour after the next album will come out, probably Europe/Scandinavia first, than will come Asia, America and Australia...

The new video for Life Burns is supposed to come out soon (around March). It already have been filmed, but there's no link to see it on the net right now

Rumour about Aki

THE RASMUS' NEW ALBUM

The Rasmus new album "Hide from the sun" is set for world wide release on September 12. The first single will be available on August 29.
The Rasmus are currently in a recording studio in Stockholm. So far the band have many excellent new tracks ready and they're writing/recording more, treating each track as a potential single.
The album is being produced by the same team that was responsible for "Dead Letters". All songs are written by The Rasmus.
The album "Hide from the sun" is the follow-up to their breakthrough album "Dead letters".

The Rasmus Europe´s favourite
The Rasmus dominates Billboard magazine's 'most sold records in Europe' chart. According the European Border Breaker-list, The Rasmus was the band to sell most records in Europe outside of their home country.

– The success of Finnish music last year was phenomenal. No other country could equal that, says Billboard journalist Emmanuel Legrand in the press release.

THE RASMUS NEW ALBUM IS READY

The new album from The Rasmus "Hide from the sun", which is released in September, has been finished.
- Now the most important thing is to pick a good song as the single and pick so international video-makers for it, that the video would work all around the world. We don't want to do many versions to the video from the same song, as we needed to do with "In The Shadows", the drummer of The Rasmus, Aki Hakala defines.
THe preparation for the release of the new album keeps The Rasmus busy, but the four guys have also a little time to calm down before the marketing of the new album.
- I'm not going to go travelling for a while, 'cause I just moved to a new appartement. I'm gonna stay at Helsinki, though I am born in Espoo. Now it's nice to do all kinds of stuff at the new home. I'm painting and that kind of things, Aki laughs.

Hi all Rasmus fans!

Both good and bad news - unfortunately there won't be any more gigs under the summer than the two Finnish festivals. The band wants to wait until the new album is released so that they can play some new songs too.
But - there will be a tour in October, probably first Finland, then three dates in Sweden, and then also gigs in Norway and Denmark. Dates and places will be announced later on.
The Rasmus are incredibly keen on getting out on the road again and play, after so much time sitting in the studio, day and night for a few months.
The new material sounds amazing!
Fun that you'll meet up in Gothenburg! Say hi to everyone from the band
