T.O.L.K

Experimental rock band from Oulunkylä, Helsinki (Finland), formed in 1994 and splitted-up in 1996. T.O.L.K is an acronym for "Tästä on leikki kaukana", that can be roughly translated to "This is serious business". Alexi "Wildchild" Laiho took part of this experimetal band with friends from the Oulunkylä Pop/Jazz Conservatory at the same time he was in the blackened death metal band IneartheD founded in 1993 (which later became Children Of Bodom) with drummer Jaska W. Raatikainen. According to a post on Kimberly Goss's Instagram, in early December of 2020 Alexi "Wildchild" Laiho was writing and practicing with this band in a cabin in the woods, planning to make a record with them. Sadly the artist passed away in the end of the month and the project stayed unfinished. Line-up: Alexi "Wildchild" Laiho (as Lateksi Laiho) – guitar Nipa Ryti – bass Santeri Saksala (as Santeri salamanteri Saksala) – drums
