Bio
One of the most successful Finnish rock acts Negative released their fourth album Karma Killer in Finland and Scandinavia on May 7th and in Japan on May 21st 2008. With the previous three albums Negative have topped the Finnish album- and singles charts and toured around the world playing hundreds of shows in Europe, Japan, China and Russia. At the end of 2007 the band was voted the best Finnish act in MTVs Video Music Awards, once again showing the size and dedication of their fanbase. In January 2008 Negative released In The Eye Of The Hurricane, a double-disc DVD covering their career so far. The DVD has achieved gold sales in Finland.
Wont Let Go is the first single from the new album, showcasing the bands natural progress: there are fresh elements in the mix, but the song still sounds like Negative hard edge combined with beautiful melodies. Since hitting the radios Won't Let Go has spent over 10 weeks in the top5 of Finnish radio charts, and the next single Giving Up! Is climbing up the charts already. On the week of its release Karma Killer went to No.3 on the official album chart and has spent 7 weeks on the chart to date. The album was produced by Mikko Karmila who has previously worked with Finnish heavyweights Nightwish and Children Of Bodom.
Before the studio sessions for Karma Killer started, Negative parted ways with its longtime guitar player, Sir Christus. Negative will continue as a five-piece with Larry handing all of the guitar playing duties.
