Based out of Helsinki, Finland, Santeri Lohi is the lone person responsible for the enormous sound of Charming Timur. Taking on every possible role from writing to performance to production, Lohi’s fractured thoughts have shaped the unique & bizarre extremes of Charming Timur’s desolate & despairing music. Where many others would turn away in life, he’s had gall to look – and as a result he’s been able to twist even the most horrific sounds into gripping, soul-stealing melodies; and while they might be painful to experience, deep down at the rotten roots of its core…you can still relate.
The music of Charming Timur is scathing proof that we all bleed out the same brutal way when we die & that our minds are all held in the same prison of chaos & confusion as captives on planet earth. Through relentless walls of sound pumped full of seething guitars, electronic short-circuitry, intense vocals & effects – the uncompromising & bone-crunching style of Charming Timur is shockingly memorable. Currently writing & recording a whole new set of tracks for release this year…whether you like it or not, Charming Timur continues to embrace the random in the dark-side of metal to create a wicked & sickening sound that the entire family is most certainly not to enjoy.
