Before the Dawn

With many changes inside the band, they entered the studio to record an MCD called Gehenna. After two albums and numerous changes in the line-up, Tuomas gathered an entirely new line-up in 2005.

The Bleedout

The Bleedout is a young finnish metal band with four members, all of them under the 20's. The band was formed in 2004. They only use a single guitarplayer. It has been much debated as of how The Bleedout's music should be defined as, many rank them as metalcore, some as alternative metal. The Bleedout takes elements from many genres of metal and mixes them into their output, which is very "new school" in a way.
