Artist Info: Umpio

Umpio is a harsh noise artist from Finland, active since 2007. The man behind the moniker is Pentti Dassum, better known as the guitarist of now defunct jazzcore legends Deep Turtle. The unforgiving sound of Umpio is made by various home made junk instruments (or "junkstruments" as they are referred by Pentti himself) abused through a string of effect pedals.

Releases so far include Avauz (Zerga), Stalkhausen (CD-R), Antabus (digital EP), Karu II (Musapojat / Zerga) [read more...]
