The Ark (SWE)

The Ark is a Swedish glam rock band formed in 1991 by Ola Salo, Mikael Jepson, and Lasse "Leari" Ljungberg, when Ola Salo and Leari were only fourteen years old. Martin Axén officially joined the band in 1997, and Sylvester Schlegel in 1999. In late 2006, Jens Andersson joined The Ark as an official member. He had at that point played live with the band for several years.

Generally written in a collaborative effort by the band, the Ark's lyrics are sometimes controversial. For example, the 2002 single "Father of a Son" is about homosexuals' right to have children. In October 2006, the band and Ola Salo were criticized by members of the U.S. public for some controversial comments referencing 9/11 that were apparently part of the joking banter between songs as the band performed at the opening festivities for the new Swedish embassy in Washington, D.C. This was unfortunate timing, as the free concert was the kick off for the band's U.S. tour.

The Ark participated in the Swedish Melodifestivalen 2007 with the song "The Worrying Kind". The song, which won the contest after capturing both the popular vote and the jury's vote, was written by Ola Salo. The song was Sweden's Eurovision 2007 entry, and is also included in The Ark's fourth album Prayer for the Weekend, released in April 2007. Despite being a bookmaker favorite, they finished in 18th place (out of 24) with only 51 points, compared to winning Serbia's 268 points. "Absolutely No Decorum", the first single from the album, was released in January 2007.

The Ark has collaborated with artists such as The Darkness and The Cardigans.

"One Of Us Is Gonna Die Young" was used in the 2007 snowboarding video, "Picture This" from Mack Dawg Productions for Seth Huot and Andreas Wiig's video part.

The Rasmus (FIN)


The Rasmus are a Finnish rock band that formed in 1994 in Helsinki, Finland while the band members were still in high school. The original band members were Lauri Ylönen (lead singer/songwriter), Eero Heinonen (bass), Pauli Rantasalmi (guitar) and Janne Heiskanen (drums). The former drummer Heiskanen quit the band in 1998 and got soon replaced by Aki Hakala.
Before releasing their fourth studio album Into (2001), they were simply known as Rasmus, but changed their name to The Rasmus in order to avoid being confused with a Swedish DJ of the same name. Their 2003 hit "In the Shadows" made them famous outside Scandinavia and received worldwide press attention.
Today the band is one of Finland's most successful bands with more than 1,5 million sold albums worldwide, eight gold awards and five platinum awards.[5] They have released six studio albums, one compilation album and 21 singles. Some of the band's most famous songs are the singles "Liquid", "F-F-F-Falling", "In the Shadows", "First Day of My Life", "Funeral Song" , "No Fear" and "Guilty"

 Early days (1994)
Lauri Ylönen and Eero Heinonen met each other in third grade when they both were nine years old, and have been close friends during the school years since. When they started at Suutarila high school in the early 1990s, they met Pauli Rantasalmi and later Janne Heiskanen. In 1994 they decided to create their own band in school. They practiced a lot, and at the end of the year they played their very first show before the Christmas holiday. At that time they were initially known as Sputnik, then Antilla then Trashmosh and then simply Rasmus (a Scandinavian man's name that comes from the Greek Erasmus, which means loveable).

 Peep (1995-1996)
In 1995 they met their first manager, Teja Kotilainen, and recorded their first EP-single, 1st (released independently through Teja G. Records in late 1995) before signing with Warner Music Finland to release their first studio album, Peep, in 1996. It went Gold as the band played over 100 shows in Finland, Russia and Estonia. Later in 1996 they won an EMMA (the Finnish equivalent of a Grammy) for Best New Act of 1996. They also released two more singles from the album: 2nd and 3rd. 3rd was the first single to hit the chart lists - it went to #8 at the Finnish Singles Chart.

Playboys (1997)
Rasmus released their second studio album, Playboys, in August 1997. This record also went gold in Finland, along with its single "Blue". The album was quite similar to Peep, but they had more additional musicians this time. Many of them played saxophone and trumpet. This gave the album a mixed genre of rock, funk and ska. It was not produced by Teja Kotilainen this time. Their new producer was named Illka Herkman. Rasmus' grueling live schedule included supporting Rancid and Dog Eat Dog, and appearing at a festival at the Helsinki Olympic Stadium in front of a crowd of 40 000 and on national television. They released a music video to the single " Playboys" which was directed by themselves and Illka Herkman.

Hell of a Tester (1998-1999)
The band's third studio album, Hell of a Tester, was released in 1998 with a video for the single "Liquid". It was in the Top 40 on Nordic MTV and was voted Song of the Year by Finnish music critics and fans. The band achieved further recognition supporting Garbage and Red Hot Chili Peppers when they toured Finland.

 Into (2000-2002)
Rasmus became "The Rasmus" in 2000, after replacing drummer Janne Heiskanen with drumming merchandise-seller Aki Hakala. In 2001, they signed to Playground Music Scandinavia and took on Seppo Vesterinen as their new manager. They released the album Into in Finland, where it went double platinum, debuting at #1. This was their first album to be produced by Mikael Nord Andersson and Martin Hansen at Nord Studios in Stockholm, Sweden. Nord and Andresson also produced their next two albums. The first single from the album "F-F-F-Falling" was #1 in Finland for three months in early 2001. The second single, "Chill", was released in Scandinavia, and reached #2 in Finland. Into was soon released in other European countries, including Germany, Sweden, Norway, Italy, France and Spain. The Rasmus toured throughout Scandinavia and Europe, promoting the album, and being the supporting acts to bands HIM and Roxette.

Dead Letters (2003-2004) 
The band recorded Dead Letters at Nord Studios in Sweden and it was released in Europe in early 2003, reaching the top of the album charts in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, as well as in Finland. Its European success led to the release of the album in other parts of the world and the album has sold 1.5 million copies worldwide. Dead Letters went Top 10 in the UK, and its first single, In the Shadows, went Top 3. Both also went Top 50 in the Australian ARIA charts in 2004, as well as topping the New Zealand singles chart. The single also reached the Top 20 of the American Billboard Heatseeker charts. In the Shadows gained Top 10 chart placings in eleven countries. Recently, iTunes Music Store offered the second track on Dead Letters, "In the Shadows", as one of its free singles. Guilty was the band's second single for the American and British market. The Rasmus' previous discography was released internationally too. The band toured a lot in 2004 and early 2005 before taking six months off to record their next album.
The Rasmus tend to provoke strong opinions in people. They made a notable appearance at the Reading Festival in 2004, where they were a victim of bottling, being pelted with plastic bottles and mud until they eventually walked offstage, immediate medical attention being required for bassist Heinonen's eye.

Hide from the Sun (2005-2006)
Their latest album is Hide from the Sun, which was released in 2005. Three singles have been released from it: "No Fear", "Sail Away" and "Shot". Hide from the Sun was released in the U.S. on October 10, 2006 from their new U.S. label, DRT Entertainment. In 2005, they won Best Nordic Act at the MTV Nordic Awards and at the NRJ Radio Awards and Best Finnish Act at MTV Europe Music Awards. They have toured with Lostprophets and Negative. On April 28, 2006 they received an exclusive statue at the ESKA Music Awards in Poland (it is their second ESKA statue, the first being in 2004) for the category Best World Rock Group.



The name of the band
The name "Rasmus" does not actually mean anything; the band have said in interviews that they chose it because it sounds Finnish and it is easy to remember. However, bassist Eero Heinonen said in a Swedish interview that it came from the words "trash" and "mosh". In Sweden and Denmark "Rasmus" is a boy name. It was the ex-drummer Janne Heiskanen who came up with the name.

Music videos
For a complete list of the band's music videos, see The Rasmus discography.
The Rasmus have released a total of nine music videos (including three different versions of In the Shadows). Niklas Fronda & Fredrik Löfberg of Baranga Film have directed three of the band's videos, all from Dead Letters. Dead Letters is the album with most music videos: seven videos have been released from the album. But that is also their most important album.
The first video they ever made was the one to Funky Jam, 1996. It was not a very big success, since it did not have a deep story, unlike their following videos.

The Story goes on....
The Rasmus will release a new album "Black roses" in 2008. Lauri is going to become father with Paula (PMMP) in the beginning of 2008.

The Pleasures (GER)


The Rebirth Of Glamrock

The Pleasures are a five-piece glamrock band from Hamburg, Germany, born of a love for all things outrageous and gender-transcending.

It was experiencing Ziggy Stardust and Velvet Goldmine for the first time in 2000 that prompted Dancette (vocals) to start working on a ‘side-project’, as the band he was in at the time was not glitzy enough by far. In 2004 he joined forces with Lord Vivian (vocals & guitar), it became much more than a side-project, and the first few The Pleasures songs were born. Shortly thereafter, the band acquired its all important bass player, drummer and second guitarist, all five now a tightly-knit crew who describe the band as “pure life without limits”.

Priding themselves on their gregarious, trashy, between-gender image, they create infectious hardglamrock, oozing with addictive hooks, searing riffs and some face-melting vocals. The voices of Dancette & The Lord compliment each other radiantly, striking against the dramatic backdrop of thick, screeching, guitars and throbbing drums.

The Pleasures are a passionate, hard-working band, Lord Vivian is not only guitarist, second vocalist & co-songwriter, but he has also produced all of the bands’ recorded material, including the EP ‘Cuming Out’ (June, 2005) and the 16 track debut album ‘Greatest Hits’ (June, 2006). A single release in April 2007, ‘Some Like It Rock’, precedes the upcoming double album, ‘Oh Yeah’, which is set for release in late summer 2007.
Always with a string of shows - including international dates - lined up, the band are hell bent on spreading The Pleasure as far and wide as possible. They easily secured themselves a strong fanbase in Germany, and boast support slots for the likes of Hanoi Rocks and the legendary T-Rex.
They embarked upon their first UK tour in July 2006, stunning a multitude of Brits with their mesmerising live shows and earning themselves a gaggle of brand new fans. An equally raucous and triumphant tour of Italy with Motorcity Brags followed in April 2007. And a return to the UK in March 2008, as tour support for Patchwork Grace, proved a Herculean success as they truly captured the hearts of everybody at every show.
With each performance this band gets stronger, their following gets bigger, and the incandescent haze of glitter, make-up and fake blood that travels with them, infiltrates the hearts of all those in its path. Plans are now afoot to storm Japan, Scandinavia and the U.S.

Tristania (NOR)



Tristania is a gothic metal band from Norway, formed in the end of 1996 by Morten Veland, Einar Moen and Kenneth Olsson.
Tristania's music is usually classified as gothic metal with doom metal influences, due to its strong ties with the genre's history, and the band making use of styles and traits typical of the gothic metal genre.

On their first releases the band had a sound based on black metal riffs with dominant eerie keyboard and powerful drums, which releases Tristania put a lot of focus around operatic female vocals, haunting choruses and classical instruments such as pipe organ, flutes and violins. Those gothic elements enrich their fast-paced heavy black metal riffing giving it added depth.

Tristania uses heavy black metal riffs with atmospheric keyboard and choirs. There was a bigger focus on the death vocals of Morten Veland. A strong influence in their music is doom metal, which can be heard in the slow, melancholic riffing. This combination of death vocals with female operatics and majestic gothic choruses is believed by many fans to have reached its pinnacle on their Beyond the Veil album.

In recent years Tristania stepped back from the bombastic layer-over-layer productions and focused more on balancing the various vocal styles and progressing their sound without losing the overall feeling.

On their fourth album Ashes the vocal duties were done by the following:

(Operatic) female vocals - provided by Vibeke Stene.
Death Vocals (grunts, growls and screams) - done by Kjetil Ingebrethsen and guitarist Anders Høyvik Hidle.
Clean vocals (hollow baritone) - provided by Østen Bergøy.
Their newest album, Illumination, featured the same vocalists minus Kjetil. The amount grunts on the the said album is very reduced when compared to their previous work, and the ones that do appear are courtesy of Vorph from the band Samael.
Tristania was formed at the end of 1996 by Morten Veland, Einar Moen and Kenneth Olsson from the remains of their previous band Uzi Suicide. Later, Anders H. Hidle and Vibeke Stene joined the band, along with bassist Rune Osterhus. In May 1997 their first EP, Tristania, was released. The same year Tristania released its first full length album, Widow's Weeds. A year later, following the Angina single, they recorded their second full length album, titled Beyond the Veil, which is thought by many fans to be not only the best Tristania project but also the album which best represents the band's sound. The music is considered very atmospheric and full of deep melodic passion. Morten Veland was by then almost like a leader to the group, as he composed most of their works, wrote lyrics, played guitar and sang growling vocals. He was fired (according to his version of events) from the band after the release of Beyond the Veil due to what the remaining members refer to only as "musical and social differences".

In 2001 their third album, World of Glass was released. This album was a little different in style and the departure of Veland was significant, as the sound of this album was a combination of typical 'Tristanian' sound. The growling vocals on this album were sung by Ronny Thorsen, a member of Trail of Tears, and the clean vocals were sung by Jan Kenneth Barkved and Østen Bergøy. Bergøy then joined the band as a permanent member, and so did Kjetil Ingebrethsen, who was in charge of singing growling vocals.

The band's fourth album – Ashes (2005) – was the first of Tristania's albums on the SPV label after their contract with Napalm Records expired. The album takes the once heavily atmospheric gothic sound of the band and replaces it with a decidedly more progressive style. The choirs are gone, as are the more challenging vocal parts reminiscent of World of Glass and Beyond the Veil. Hidle and Einar Moen add their vocals to certain tracks on the album. Two of the songs were actually written by the Tristania.com webmaster, Kjartan Hermansen ("Libre" and "Circus") while the song "The Wretched" is based on "Ascending: Descending" – a poem by Hermansen. Also on Ashes, the violins of Pete Johansen – which so often accompanied the previous Tristania albums – were replaced by the cello melodies of Hans Josef Groh. The album marked a lyrical and musical simplification of the band from the days of Morten Veland, more so than the first album without Veland, World of Glass.

The Ashes Tour in Europe (minus Einar Moen, who remained at home to work on more material for the band, but is still an active member) brought about another change for the band, the addition of a second guitarist – Svein Terje Solvang – who previously played with the band for touring purposes. His addition to the band as a permanent member in May 2005 is the first time Tristania has had a two-guitarist team since Beyond the Veil.

In April 2006, Kjetil Ingebrethsen left Tristania to embark on a lower level musical career.

On February 27 2007, Vibeke Stene left the band due to personal reasons. On October 19 2007, Italian singer Mariangela Demurtas (ex-Reel Fiction, Alight) is announced as the new female singer. Her strong voice (very different from Vibeke's) seems to foreshadow deeper changes in the style of the band.
