All the way from Beirut, Lebanon, Laszlo Jones travelled to Las Vegas, USA and Paris, France to record his latest EP "Beyond the Door", set to be released November 5.
The multi-instrumentalist, composer, arranger, and producer Gilles Jan Petersen, better known under his stage name Laszlo Jones, delivers a unique sound reflecting his multiple talents and vivid creativity, in his new 5 track EP “Beyond the door”.
Pursuing his international journey, Laszlo Jones surrounded himself with the greatest music professionals : the EP was mixed by Kane Churko (In this moment, 5 Fingers Death Punch, Ozzy Osbourne, Papa Roach, Skillet, Disturbed) at the Hideout studio in Las Vegas, and Besco Recording in Paris, with Michael Buyens (Engineer/Producer).
The 5 songs feature drummer Ralph Salmins (ABBA, Madona, Quincy Jones, Lady Gaga), bassist Michael Buyens (Eric Serra), pianist Michael Arrom (Steve Vai), Argentinian arranger Marcos Barilari, as well as guitarist Alex Skolnik (from metal band Testament, The Alex Skolnick Trio, Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Savatage and the heavy metal supergroup Metal Allegiance) on the song “Kill Myself”.
“Beyond the Door” is a quest for remarkable melodies, unforgettable lyrics and a unique sound.
“The 5 tracks of the EP all deal with (the inevitable) death, from hallucinatory perspectives. A futuristic dark world, tinged with rage and a certain realism. It’s a sensory journey, poetic and violent, where I consciously mixed the authentic beauty of the images and the chilling sensation they provide” - Laszlo Jones
