Valonkantajat on raskasta, suomenkielistä rockia soittava yhtye. Valonkantajien arvolistalla musiikki kaikkine sisältöineen on etusijalla, hyvänä kakkosena tulevat sanat. Melankoliseen äänimaisemaan sopivat sanat, jotka kertovat melankolisesta elämästä: Siitä, miten kaikki ei menekään aina niin kuin suunniteltiin. Valonkantajat ei pyri saarnaamaan, pelottelemaan, tuomitsemaan eikä halveeraamaan. Valonkantajien tarkoituksena on kertoa siitä miten asiat ovat. 

Valonkantajat (Lucifers) is a metal rock band from Uusimaa, southern Finland. It is a band whose mission is to bring light to the dwellers in darkness. No doubt about it, there is plenty of darkness in Finland even on summer when the sun barely sets for night. Valonkantajat tells about this mental darkness, melancholic stories about people and their everyday life in this northern, godforsaken country. Valonkantajat stands for catchy melodies and strong riffs combined with good lyrics, written in Finnish. No other language can describe the northern atmosphere better.

A country man who found the passion for singing, writing and making music again after some 30 odd years.

 A lot has changed since my teens and a lot of practice needs to be done. But I try to improve, beat by beat. 

Every song I compose and write is a story. Mostly, my songs resonate from my own experiences how I see or feel the world as I wander through it.

I’m raising four kids with my wife and we have two crazy cats, so I’m not going to run out of inspiration any time soon. 😂
