Mr. Peter Hayden
Faster Than Speed
This six-piece operates with three guitars, bass, drums and percussions sometimes adding some vocals, sythesizers and saxophone to the mix. They travel in space and time in the spirit of forgotten 70's German krautrockers and doped up Deep Purple. They deliver their art honouring the forgotten ways of Finnish magic and the shamans who once had the pure knowledge of it. Almost 10 years old sextet released their first full lenght album last autumn through Winter Records and Post-RBMM. They have also played at the most appreciated doom/stoner/psychedelic clubs and festivals in Finland, including Psychotropic Caravan Festival, Amplifier Festival, Space Force One, Club Planed Caravan and they were special guest at Club Mega Therion hosted by Mat McNerney of Dodheimsgard, Code and Hexvessel. some press quotes: "...from Finland and for some reason this country has always produced excellent bands within the Progressive Rock and Space Rock genres of music. This band has to be one of the best in terms of musicianship as while its mostly mellow and ambient stuff, the elements of everything from Jazz to movie soundtrack themes are added effortlessly and without you noticing the subtle variations taking place, this is pure art of the highest order." "Where Mr. Peter Hayden really stand apart is in the construction and arrangement of their material......Its a rare thing for a debut to sound so unique" "...hell kiddies, each 33-minute epic offers such a radically different and useful Weltanshauung that you could meditate, exercise or even just bask in an All Night Orgy of cunted timelessness. What? Theyre that much on ye programme? Yup, THAT much on ye programme." (Julian Cope)
