On the same day Eero added this suspicious Pic on their Facebook, someone found out that Lauri shot in these days the video for his first single as a solo artist, 'Heavy'; the Thread on the International Forum, the same news from this site.
(Thanks to stallion66, unrealrasnews.wordpress.com and Ghostoflove.wordpress.com)

CITAZIONE

With the news of Lauri's solo career now sunk in for most of The Rasmus fans, we get a nice surprise that Lauri's first video shoot has just happened.
Music director Owe Lingvall who directed the videos Justify and October & April is now helping Lauri out with his first single Heavy by directing the video. He had clearly stated it on his personal Facebook profile with a little status update. When the premier of the video will happen is another question, so we shall all have to keep our eyes peeled over the coming weeks and especially next year.
“‎3 days videoshoot with The Rasmus singer Lauri Ylönen is done!’
Thanks to all the amazing people involved!!!!! Now sleeeeeep!”

The same news from the Ghostoflove site.

CITAZIONE

On his Facebook Owe Lingvall, (Vilage Road Video, he previously directed Justify and October&April videos for The Rasmus) published a status update according to which he has been filming for 3 days with Lauri a new video, which is more than sure the video for his upcoming solo single, 'Heavy'.
It is yet unknown when the video will premier, but we’re guessing it will be after EMMA Gaala, since the world premiere of the song will be held at that event.

CITAZIONE

Lauri: "We got lot of things: vix, spiders, lizards, cockroaches. What is this ? Thousand feet, yeah, yeah. Good stuff for this little cave where I'm living, in the video."

Lauri: "Working with Owe is.. I can get my ideas in the video also like.. sometimes when you have a director, he is listening to you like, 'OK, that's a nice idea, but, let's do this', you know."

Owe: "Take it."
Lauri: "No."
Owe: "What is this ?"
Lauri: "That's a.."
Owe: "That's a cockroach."
Lauri: "Yeah, a cockroach."

Lauri: "I wanted to do a solo album, and.. yeah, I think it will be quite a surprise when it comes out."

Another article about this video added on the International Forum; the Link, the English translation Here.
(Kiitos to dark_soul, Oana and GhostofLove.wordpress.com :up: )

Lauri do not really like lizards but are in this as he has named Magnus, for image's sake.

Outside wines the snow, inside the house the people and Lauri Ylönen are in the middle of a groovy set of design and feel comfortable. The Rasmus' singer goes solo and chose Village Road Film to make a rock video for his first single.
"We're building a secret here," laughs Lauri.

Lauri commands a coffee and starts to tell. The premiere of the first song, 'Heavy' is on 26th February at the Finland's equivalent of the German Grammy Gala Awards. Until then, everything is very much in secret. Lauri has written the music and the lyrics for the album that is coming in March. The story of the video was created together with Owe Lingvall and Peter Hultman. Lauri likes to work very much with Mr. Village Road, Owe Lingvall.
"We have made two videos with him earlier and I have been pleased, we have the same taste and we like to improvise."

Lauri seems to smirk as he sits with a cinnamon bun in his hand, dressed in leather pants, black shirt with an asymmetrical neckline and with feathers in his hair.
"We have built a camp here, we can say so, we have the whole house for ourselves. I live in the apartment upstairs, it's filled with a lot of very old stuff. When we film, we smoke and we go to our 'shack'- that it's like another world. We've hardly been outside in the past several days."
They borrowed 'inhabitants' from the Tropicarium: a lizard, cockroaches and also a centipede that is in the corner.
"I have named the lizard Magnus, but I do not really like him," said Lauri and urged the photographer for the picture.
The Rasmus is one of Finland’s greatest musical export of all time, and The Rasmus remains to Lauri the most important thing, but there is music that did not fit in the style of the band.
"There are so many ideas I had to put aside because they didn't fit into The Rasmus style, but this way is fine! The music is different, more sweeping and electronic. I produce the album myself and release it through own record label, Dynasty Recordings. I do not mind to have control," Lauri says happily.

He did not believe that this would be felt again.
"Sometimes successful ties loosen the grip a little when others start to decide to do their own things, but I have taken back the initiative. It feels like starting everything from the beginning - wonderful!"

CITAZIONE

"Before Christmas I made the props for Lauri Ylönen's (known from The Rasmus) newly released music video.
The props included a crazy one-man-band rig, a periscope, a hand puppet, a cage, a window, puppet hatching form an egg... I hope for more crazy work like this in the future.
The shoot was great fun too, despite having the occasional cockroach crawling up my arm.
I even did a bit of puppeteering.
Thanks to director Owe Lingvall and good luck to Lauri with his solo career!"
