End Of You, the rapidly emerging rock/metal quintet from Helsinki, has been building a near-deafening “next big thing” buzz in the business lately. Driven by striking songs, colossal live shows and the undeniable chemistry of the group, they have already established a status that can’t be taken away. Confronted by the double-edged sword of overwhelming early praise, End Of You has risen to the challenge and recorded an album that easily delivers on all the claims made on their behalf. With their new collection of groundbreaking songs on “MIMESIS", band announces that they have the talent, the passion, and the songs to take themselves to the next level.
The band’s rise has been the result of consistent hard work since Mr. Pietilä first met some of the bands current members Mr. Lehtinen (bass) and Mr. Karppanen (guitars) in Helsinki back in the days. After adding Mr. Keijonen to drums and Mr. Borodavkin to electronic department, End Of You was formed in 2004. They played their first show in Semifinal Club, Helsinki and were soon building a local fanbase and also gathering lots of fans thru the internet. After just a few months of composing and gigging, the band had their first big break in early 2005, when Sami Tenetz got a copy of the highly acclaimed “Walking With No One”-demo. He was instantly struck by their talent and songs, and he immediately signed the band to the label, widely known as Spinefarm Records.
Upon the release of their debut album, “UNREAL", in the beginning of 2006, the music community began to buzz and took immediate notice of songs and the band itself. The debut album gathered lots of killer reviews and much anticipated “Tour De Silencio” was roaming around the Finland throughout the 2006 keeping the rock clubs and dance floors busy!
Now 2008, after two years and hundreds of hours of work it only takes one listen to “MIMESIS” to see the depth of the band’s growth in the past couple years. Produced by Hiili Hiilesmaa (HIM, The 69 Eyes, Apocalyptica), the music has taken on a richer, deeper, more intense and sophisticated direction, without loosing any of the melodies and killer grooves that has been bands trademark from the very beginning.
When “Next big things” come and go, it’s obvious that End Of You has something special – both talent and capability to revolutionize the whole scene once again. “MIMESIS” is the band’s declaration of ambition, musical growth, and dedication on every possible level. “MIMESIS" is everything you can expect from a groundbreaking and fresh album. If it all ended today, this is what the band wants to be remembered for.
2003
In the year of 2003 first cloned mammal Dolly the sheep dies. About the same
time elsewhere rock-group End Of You turns into flesh. Some say there’s a
connection between these two significant events and that the spirit of Dolly
haunts and torments the souls in End Of You.
2005
An old air bomb from Second World War is found from a construction site near Mikkeli. The Year is 2005. Regardless of that or maybe therefore End Of You releases the hit single “Walking With No One”
2006
March 29th, 2006 End Of You strikes with debut album “Unreal” and a partial solar eclipse is arranged in order to celebrate the album! 44% of the suns diameter is eclipsed in Helsinki. “Complete solar eclipses are so damn hard to arrange that we had to settle for the partial one”, tells an anonymous assistant from the bands organization. Nevertheless on Turkish soil the eclipse is presented as complete.
