![]() Herman was asked how he would describe Turborider as a whole to which he indicated: “It is not just a collection of tracks we happened to think of writing in the studio. It was like this style had already been there in our DNA, waiting to break out.” The writing process was very intense, fast and felt very natural. When we decided to ask Joonas Parkkonen to produce the record, the deal was sealed and we set out to make an album that would amplify all of our crazy late ‘80s influences up to eleven and that would combine some of the awesome modern day synthwave elements with it. I introduced the idea to go all out on synths and electric drums to Pepe and he got very inspired by the idea. On the last one, InVader, we had “Child Of The Sun” and “Scandinavian Girls”. There are these type of synth-driven songs on every record of ours. There’s a track called “Back To Paradise”, which was always a live favorite, and still is the best streaming song from that first record. I say more, since we had toyed with those type of sounds already on the debut album. I started to play around with the idea of introducing that type of sound more into Reckless Love. The likes of Van Halen’s 5150, DLR’s Skyscraper, Judas Priest’s Turbo, Def Leppard’s Hysteria and ZZ Top’s Eliminator and Afterburner came to mind like lightning. The soundtrack was full of some synth gems of the time and I immediately saw the connection between that type of music and the crazy Hair metal sounds of the late ‘80s. I discovered the genre of synthwave way back when I first saw a movie called The Drive with Ryan Gosling in it. Once we came up with the idea how the new album would have to sound, it was time to get back to work. ![]() We’re too curious and too eager to improve our sound and we just downright want to keep things exciting for us and the listeners. I actually don’t think we can make two albums that would sound the same. Don’t get me wrong, I think they’re brilliant. We’re not a band like AC/DC that keeps releasing the same song over and over again. ![]() The feeling just kept intensifying the longer the break took. We went on a break for a reason in 2018 and we always knew we had to be reborn to make it back. Mzorowska asked Herman what was the inspiration for Reckless Love‘s upcoming album and whether the analogy to when Judas Priest reinvented themselves with the guitar synthesizer influenced Turbo was accurate in this case. Herman was promoting Reckless Love‘s new studio album Turborider, which will be available via AFM Records on February 25, 2022. Reckless Love frontman Olli Herman was recently interviewed by Hard Rock Haven‘s senior columnist Alexandra Mrozowska.
