There is hardly anything equally as boring as reading through biographies. I mean, how many different ways is there to describe how people have shared common musical interests and come together with their ideas to form a band? Well, that is pretty much how it happened with Kinetik Control, which was initially a manifestation of electronic turbulence, metallic mood swings and melancholic mindscapes, but which later on developed towards an unique rock sound.

2000-2004

The band’s primus motor Sauli Vuoti, who was nicknamed as “Tweak” by his early bandmates, dreams about forming a band which would play a mixture of rock, metal and pop music spiced with electronic elements. After some serious planning and experimenting with different musicians, Tweak recruited his friend Toni Raehalme, known in the electronic scene as “Dexter”. The old saying “opposites attract” was definitely the case with Tweak and Dexter, two creative individuals with a completely different social and spiritual mindset. Even if there was contrast in the two individuals’ personalities, there was something unexplainably strong and mystical about their collaboration. Together they could create wonderful music as a team, whose musical force is appalling. Call it cosmic unison or anything else dim, the music spoke for itself and was far from superficial.

2004-2008

The ability to combine electronic elements with pop sensibility and a twist of metal, completely in their own terms, honoured all music styles - yet created a distinctive and recognizable original sound. Instead of hanging onto a narrow musical spectrum, Tweak and Dexter decided to reach for the stars. Their music had no limits or boundaries; nothing was sacred or forbidden in their little world. Tweak and Dexter could not stop their musical hallucinations or their critical view of the surrounding world. This resulted in a variety of songs with different influences, yet combined by one factor: strong atmosphere. Magazines were writing things like “Kinetik Control has not yet found their style”, but it wasn’t a matter of soul-searching. It was a matter of loving all kinds of music and not willing to write several
songs that would remind each other, like the music industry started suggesting at the time. The debuting EP “Enslaving The Audio” was recorded and released in 2006 and noted by big magazines, such as Metal Hammer, who welcomed the band as an exceptional newcomer. The heavy guitars, pulsating electronics and memorable melodies combined with engineer Mikko Karmila’s (Nightwish, Children Of Bodom, Stratovarius) trademark sound made a deep impact. The EP was followed by the release of the debut album “Lack Of Divine Inspiration” in 2008. The album got positive reviews and was featured in most major magazines in Finland and abroad. The album spawned four tentative chartbreakers in Finland (Lack Of Divine Inspiration, No One Knows About Us, The Mutt and Vanguard Of The New World), which all earned a spot on the top three of both the official Download and
Single Chart, with the latest occupying 1 simultaneously on both charts. The release was followed by an extensive tour and a well-received video for “Vanguard Of The New World”. The band’s line-up was improved by the addition of drummer Jake Luukkonen, Vuoti’s
childhood friend.

2009

In early 2009 the band recorded their sophomore effort “Only Truth Remains” with Aksu Hanttu and Jyrki Tuovinen and the album features guest appearance by Michael Monroe of the legendary Hanoi Rocks. Kinetik Control’s new direction is now guitar and vocal driven
rock. The experiments with electronic elements were laid to rest for the time being. The band had matured and left the gloominess behind. However, the talented trio, tormented by the lack of permanent guitar and bass players since the beginning of the band, did not play any
live shows but instead concentrated on the new album and finding new band members that would finally fill their standards. The hunt was unsuccessful, and the band’s biggest burden since the beginning was once again slowing them down. The stress and the feeling of not
getting forward pushed Vuoti on a long vacation, ordered to him by his doctor.

2010

In 2010 Kinetik Control continued the so-far-hopeless pursuit of finding dedicated people, who would share both their talent and attitude towards music. The hunt was suddenly completed, when the stunning new album started to attract new faces to their attention. The
band’s lineup was completed by bass player Pasi Nopanen and guitarists Miro Kontio and Andy Velin, and Vuoti could finally concentrate on singing, which was his craving since the beginning of the band. Yet the sophomore album still remained unreleased, but not for long. The first single “In This Life” was released in April 2010 and immediately occupied the 4th position on the Finnish chart. The second single “All Fours” is to be released in August 2010! And “latest but not the leastest”, the 2nd album is finally set to be released late 2010/early 2011!
