Editor's note

S.h.o.t. from Espoo, a Finnish metal band

A Finnish metal band formed in 1991, known for raw energy and later melodic shifts.

For a sense of their early punch, 'Dark Way' from 'Wildfire' holds up. Later, 'Seventh Night' shows where they were heading.

S.h.o.t. started with a raw, energetic debut album 'Wildfire' in 1999, anchored by the single 'Dark Way' that caught attention in Finland. Their sound evolved over time, becoming more melodic on records like 'Solitude' in 2013. The band's story is tied to founder Alexi Laiho, whose death in 2021 led to an indefinite hiatus.

Formed in Espoo in 1991 by Alexi Laiho and Roope Latvala, they released demos before their debut 'Wildfire' in 1999. After touring and albums like 'Heart of Crime' in 2002, lineup changes brought new guitarists and a shift toward melody by 2013. Laiho's death in 2021 ended the band's active run, with members continuing in other projects.

Archive material and source history

S.h.o.t. formed in Espoo, Finland in 1991, started by Alexi Laiho and guitarist Roope Latvala. They put out a couple of demos in the early '90s, but things didn't really click until their debut album 'Wildfire' came out in 1999. That record had a raw energy to it, and the single 'Dark Way' got them some attention in their home country.

They toured a fair bit after that, and released more albums like 'Heart of Crime' in 2002. The band's lineup shifted over time, with Latvala leaving in 2009. New guitarists came in, including Mikko Laiho, and their sound seemed to get a bit more melodic on later records like 'Solitude' from 2013.

Alexi Laiho died in January 2021. He was 41. After that, the band went on indefinite hiatus. The other members, including Roope Latvala who had returned, have kept making music in other projects.
