My name is Juho Räihä. I play guitar and produce albums (meaning I do everything related to making records from the initial idea to sending the master files to the label and everything in between). Most of my days are spent recording, mixing and mastering Metal releases and/or playing guitar on albums, shows and international tours.

 

My own bands: Swallow the Sun, Before the Dawn, I am the Night, Gloria Morti, Valtaistuin, Riverside Syndicate, Maailman surullisin paikka.

 

​

My career highlights include:

​

Winning a Finnish Grammy (Emma) for Swallow the Sun - Shining

 

Finnish chart number one for Swallow the Sun - When a Shadow is Forced into the Light.

 

For both albums I played guitar and worked as a sound engineer.

​

​

I've gathered a lot of knowledge playing in Metal bands during the 26 years of doing it. Knowledge that consists of playing shows, producing albums and running the related business etc. When making albums I always look at it from a band members perspective, and I'm making albums that aim to make the band themselves proud of their record. And it is always THEIR record.

 

Nowdays I'm a bit more picky about the projects I take on but if you are looking for a sound engineer or producer please send me a message at the bottom of the page. If we see eye to eye, your music resonates with me and my production style suits your band lets make music together.
