Guitarist Janne Lunnas comments on the album: “The album, ‘A Matter of Time,’ shows where Alase is heading towards musically. We are already working on new music and this album leads the way to our new paths.
“Compared to our debut album, ‘Vastaus,’ ‘A Matter of Time’ is more versatile and progressive. In a way, it is more mature but we also took more musical risks with its material. We even threw in a couple of tracks that go outside the genre of metal music but they still sound like Alase. Those songs also contain more electronic sounds, which is a new thing for us.
“The softer parts on the album are very soft, but the heavier parts at their heaviest get really crushing and technical. When it comes to musicianship, this album contains the most demanding stuff that we have so far done.
“Besides five previously unheard tracks, the album contains four tracks that were released as singles and music videos. Those songs represent the album pretty well, but don’t tell the whole story. If you like bands like Katatonia, Haken, VOLA and Sleep Token, this album might work for you!”
