Influences
The lake Vostok is a real lake, deep under the ice cap of Antarctica. It's an eternal lake with pure and fresh water, and it shows in the bands' music that they have taken their name from this freezing and untouched place.
Sounds Like
The music is perhaps easiest to compare with the avantgardism of Cynic, the progressiveness of Dream Theater, the black metalish assault of Emperor and the sheer power of Agent Steel and the melodic death metal of Soilwork.
"Rarely musicians act so uncomplicatedly and yet every little detail has been planned and executed with the greatest care. The demanding metal consumer will have a hard time to find an excuse not to get this splendid record."
- Disagreement.net
"‘Reveal No Secrets’ deserves to take Loch Vostok to the upper echelons of the progressive metal world. It’s a certainty to be in my top ten albums of the year because quite frankly I refuse to believe that there will be 9 better albums than this produced in 2009."
- Metalteam UK
Loch Vostok rose out of the collapse of Progressive Metal band Mayadome in 2001. After 10 years Drummer Teddy Moeller was tired of the cheeze and decided to start something more meaty - Loch Vostok was born. Three core members, Mayadome founder Teddy Moeller, Keyboardist Sebastian Okupski and Bass Player Erik Grandin set about formulating a new act. Moeller would switch from his erstwhile role as a drummer to that of lead vocalist/guitarist and with the incorporation of former Ramrod, 5 Steps Ahead and El Presidente guitarist Niklas Kupper alongside ex-Azotic Reign, 5 Steps Ahead, El Presidente and Imperial Domain drummer Alvaro Torres the band was complete. However, Grandin was to relocate to the USA and so former Mellow Poetry guitarist Tomas "Tym" Jonsson stepped in to fill the bass vacancy.
Utilising producer Daniel Bergstrand, Loch Vostok cut a self-financed album "Dark Logic" entirely based upon infamous serial killers such as Henry Lee Lucas, Andreij Tzjikatilo and Ed Gein. The first label to pick up the album for distribution would be the Russian concern CD-Maximum. Shortly after the Russian release, Portugese label Magnetism Records contracted Loch Vostok, and released "Dark Logic" worldwide August 1st 2004.
Sebastian Okupski decided to focus on his cover band "Bulldog", so Loch Vostok decided to find another keyboardist for the band. Andreas Lindahl from fellow-Swedish metal act Platitude offered his services. He played some live shows and recorded the new album with Loch Vostok but then decided to leave because of the distance between Gothenburg, where he lives, and Uppsala where the other guys live and rehearse. Loch Vostok is a real band, not just another project, so they had every intention of finding a real full time member, who was also willing to take part in the whole songwriting process. Anima Morte keyboardist/composer Fredrik Klingwall had been a friend of Teddy and Niklas for quite a while. They already got along real well, and Fredrik was asked to join Loch Vostok.
In early 2006, the band signed with Swedish record label Escapi Music for the worldwide release of "Destruction Time Again!" Ð their second and more mature disc. After the fantastic reviews started coming in, the band went on tour with King Diamond and Secret Sphere all around Scandinavia for 2 weeks in April 2006, followed by another tour in Denmark with Pyramaze in June same year.
During 2007 and 2008 the band played a lot of shows in Scandinavia (including a show on-board the Tattoo Boat - a tattoo convention/festival on a cruise ship between Sweden and Finland), as well as working really hard on their third full-length album, "Reveal No Secrets". By early 2009 the album was ready; produced, recorded, mixed and edited by the band themselves and mastered by Lawrence Mackrory at Great Scot! Audio. The album features guest appearances by Per Nilson (Scar Symmetry), Erik EZ Blomkvist (Platitude) and Tina Gunnarsson (ex-Mellow Poetry). After the collapse of Escapi Music another worldwide deal has been signed with US based label Nightmare Records.
Loch Vostok will create chills down your spine when the day comes for you to be engulfed by their fantastic music ... and that day is now, 'cause here is "Reveal No Secrets".
