Dark Lake Audio is a creative platform for music, guitar and production by me – Juhani Suominen. Through it, I share my own work — including original music, covers and playthrough videos — while continuously developing my sound and creative expression.
My content ranges from heavier, guitar-driven music to more acoustic interpretations, with a strong interest in production and how music is built as a whole.
Alongside my own content, I’m always open to collaboration. Whether it’s songwriting, guitar recordings, production ideas or music content for social media, I enjoy working on projects that have a clear direction and a good creative vibe.
Dark Lake Audio brings all of this together under one name — a space where music, content and creativity meet.
Modern melodic metalcore in Finnish – progression, melancholy and catchy hooks
Herja combines heaviness and melody in a way that draws from the sorrows of Finnish everyday life, fairy tales and folk tales. The sound moves at the interface of modern metalcore, occasional progressive metal and catchy melodies — the end result is intense, emotional and strongly Finnish.
