You just came back from Japan and now you performed in one of Finland´s famous summer festivals: Ilosaarirock. How was it to perform in such a great finnish festival?

The Blanko: Trust the inner voice

The Blanko: Trust the Inner Voice

With this album the title track, Into The Silence, says something about the message of the album: “Your voice is way too precious to waste into the silence…”  Hearing your own inner voice, understanding and trusting it, voicing it out – that´s one of the main messages of this album.

Pauli Hauta-aho from THE BLANKO in interview about the new album “INTO THE SILENCE”

INTO THE SILENCE is a never-ending trip to ones inner self with all the contradictions. The album itself is a reflection of time and has a few thoughts in it, which I could say are a part of the message I care to deliver. One is to recognise ones inner voice, understanding it, embracing it and voicing it out. We all have that inner child inside, which is the genesis of all good and it’s very important to not lose the connection to it – or lose the connection to yourself, in that matter. Between the lines of ”life instructions”, or given paths, you can also find alot of yearning and mystics.
