BIOGRAPHY

 

​

TakaLaiton hails from the far north, in the cold winter regions of Finland. Garnering a powerful thrash-influenced attitude, TakaLaiton is best seen in their super-energetic live shows; always leaving fans with a sore neck and bruises from the moshpit. With a risk-taking thrash fueled demeanor, TakaLaiton superbly blends fast-paced energy, bone-crushing groove, with melodies that can only be inspired by the dark, depressing and frigid far-north. Not to mention the band's lyrical onslaught, containing both Finnish and English languages.

The band has covered a lot of territory while on tour, bringing their rowdy stage presence to the Scandinavian regions, and the European and Asian continents.

TakaLaiton has a "break the rules, exceed all limits" approach, as their name suggests; deriving from a Finnish baseball term for "swing the ball over the borders''. With that fierce frame of mind, the band has recently won "Heavy Metal Heart 11" a National Music Contest in Finland; and is currently working on a full-length album that will be Produced by Teemu Aalto (Omnium Gatherum, Insomnium).
