2014 proved to be a great year for Adastra having finished recording their fourth full length album “Deadlock” to be released in the spring of 2015. In addition to recording the album, the year contained some of the best and most vigorous live shows Adastra has ever performed. To take time off from the studio Adastra performed 9 shows in their native land of Finland and also returned to Estonia for two shows and proved that they are musically tighter and tougher than ever before.

Founded by Olli Anttila and Teemu Kurki in 2001 in Helsinki, Finland, it was evident early on that the bands musical influences laid in 70’s and 80’s metal bands such as Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, Metallica and Megadeth. Soon afterwards Santeri Vauramo and Jussi Ruokolainen joined the band on bass and drums respectively.

At the time when Adastra started to concentrate on their own material Teemu Kurki decided to step away from the band and Adastra continued to make two demo recording with singer Kadarina Kenner before Ville Siikamäki joined the band and took over the vocal duties for the next few demo recordings. Guitarist Jari Hartman was also recruited and he appeared in the last demo recording the band did before getting a recording contract with Violent Journey Records.

As of 2013 Adastra had released three albums through Violent Journey Records; the debut “The Last Sunset” (2007), “Death or Domination” (2008) and “Corroder of Minds” (2012). During early 2013 Adastra parted ways with guitarist Jari Hartman and Teemu Kurki was asked and decided to return to the band. Soon afterwards Adastra did a mini-tour of Finland during the summer and played their first ever show abroad in Tallinn, Estonia.

A guitarist who loves shredding, the 80's, synths, many different genres and instrumental music in general. Used to play in a band called Adastra. https://open.spotify.com/artist/74KYfh5wli5MNEN0CZNUcN?si=vBZM7rtrRO2YpnDf0accwA

45 Degree Woman

If we put together men with equally big hearts, similar musical ambitions and an unbreakable friendship bond, what does it add up to? A woman. 45 Degree Woman.
 
According to the legend, 45 Degree Woman is a real and existing person, a native Spanish woman who is a guardian and a friend of the band - and at the same time in their gentle protection. The Mexican saint, the Virgin of Guadalupe, could be her sister or her mother, and the members of 45 Degree Woman are her sons and brothers. 

45 Degree Woman has been a familiar name in the Finnish metal/rock scene for a few years. Besides their musical merits, the band is known for the unbribable attitude and communal spirit. When "La Familia", 45 Degree Woman with their technicians and other members, makes a move, 100% will always be given - whether they play in a small local club or a main stage. 45 Degree Woman saw daylight in 1995, when the drummer Kari Reini, keyboardist Jan Weckström and guitarist Iiro Tuomola composed the first songs for the lady. The latest line-up became steady when guitarist Hannu Laanterä and singer Mikko Viman joined the family. Subsequently, in the year of 2009 bassist Toni Laroma and keyboardist Martti Lindholm reinforced their lines. The band's story is extraordinary.  During the years they have experienced emotions ranging from deep collective sorrow and loss to happiness and success together, coloring their diary pages from the deepest black to a shiny white. 

45 Degree Woman showed their composing skills and strength at the hardest times on their first album, How To Handle The Pain (2006). As the title declares, the record is all about facing the cold hard facts of life and death - as well as the pain that comes from within. The latest album Revival (Feb 25, 2009) is a logical continuum to How To Handle The Pain. The powerful emotions are still present, but now things are seen also from a positive angle: faith, hope and love.
Strong riffs and melodic hooks make Revival more guitar-driven and organic than its predecessor. The result is hard, warm and clear. Revival proves the band has been able to shed the weight off its shoulders, now aiming up and forward. This new, brighter phase is filled with courage and self esteem which can be heard throughout the record. Today 45 Degree Woman smiles like a lady who makes men fall on their knees and reminds all women truly how great it is to be a woman. 

Now. After few years, revelation signifies the end of the silence. 
You don't know it yet but the time has come.


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.

Valonkantajat:

Jaake Nikkilä - vocals, guitars
Ville Saloranta - guitars
Juha Korpinen - drums
Markus Salo - bass

Hi! I’m Ville!
Music has been part of my life from the day i was born. Music is everything!

I’ve been playing in many bands and toured around europe and asia.

I’m mainly a vocalist in my bands, but i like to compose my own music as well.
I’m not very good at playing instruments, but it’s fun and different from just being a vocalist.

Hope you’ll enjoy my tracks!

Cheers!

Alternative Hard Rock band from Helsinki, Finland
