From Reservoirs of Darkness and Neon Lit Nightmares rises Finnish five-piece LAMORI. Their
sound is defined by uniting Gothic Metal with Dark Wave, Modern Rock and everything in
between. Lyrics inspired by cult horror movie maestros and old romanticism furthermore finalize
their macabre elegance. The band roots back to 2006. Singer Matias Juselius and guitarist Marcus
Pellas had ideas about starting a gothic rock band in their hometown of Mariehamn, on The Åland
Islands. Jens Wickholm soon joined the duo, followed by Mikael Westerlund on bass. An acoustic
live performance was held under the name L'Amori Acoustica. After a fruitless search for a
drummer the band was put on ice for nearly two years. The group got together and started
rehearsing again in late 2008, still searching for a drummer. Emanuel Sanchez stepped in and joined
the group in early 2009. The band was now officially formed. Together they did their first live
performance some months later. The constellation has remained the same until this day. Under the
name L’Amori (later to be changed to LAMORI), the band recorded their first four track Demo EP
in 2011, titled The Reservoirs of Darkness. Their first full-length album Deadly Desires was selfreleased some years later in 2013. A year after the release of Deadly Desires the band penned a
record deal with Italian label Wormholedeath. Their first major album To Die Once Again was
released through the label in 2016. It was at this time the band changed the name from L'Amori to
the more straightforward LAMORI. The following years the band toured in Finland, Sweden,
Latvia and Lithuania and also started working on a new album. The recordings of Neo Noir began
in the summer 2018 at Mathlab Studios in Italy, with producers Carlo Belotti and Jonathan Mazzeo.
Of the three singles released prior to the album, An Angel by Your Side reached the most praise,
hitting 380.000 views on YouTube in only one month.
