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.
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.
