never interested in repeating themselves, callisto have taken a bold step away from their earlier, more instrumental material and composed a vocal record. the songs on providence are built upon layers of melodies, but this is not pop music. the band colour their sound with mellotrons, prog rock overtones, some jazzy bits and other stylish influences drawn from the seventies, and wrap everything up with vocals that range from screams of anguish to peaceful melodies and beyond. those who have adored callistos past works will still find a lot to digest in these majestic compositions, and also those into progressive heavyweights such as king crimson, landberk or opeth are in for a real treat. providence is produced,engineered and mixed by jonas olsson and mastered by svante forsbaeck. the artwork is contributed by martin kvamme of unit delta plus(fantomas, satyricon, turbonegro).

third album young desire, again captures the fervour witnessed on lapkos live shows. taking in themes of vulnerability and anxiety beneath hardened exteriors, aching feelings, pressure and confusion, the album is a mental trip back to the schoolyard, where tough guy antics and leather armor cant hide the convulsions underneath. theres new depth and dynamic in the bands expression, fitting for a gang of seasoned rock musicians. these two art school dropouts and metal worker have come a long way from harjavalta (though they still gather there to rehearse and play) and have evolved as a band and as friends.
