Live at Semifinal, on monday though, but at least the company is good. Helldone gig added.
From offical Helldone site:
"The typical Finnish man, in turn, is stubborn, quiet and always ready to let guitar riffs do the talking. And these riffs are loud. Very loud, in fact. Blake, Mannhai, One Eye Shut and The Black League (led by former Sentenced front man Taneli Jarva) fit this profile perfectly. They say what they mean and they mean what they play..."


18.10.2007
Night surrounds us, come n feel the pain!

Check out gigs, get drunk and go crazy

Working title "Best/worst of" will be relased in March by Vallankumoustuotanto. Some taste of heavy riffenheimer can be downloaded right here (0.5 MB)

Track list;
Everything must die
Plase let go
Days in the sun
Yearning
World behind
Last in line
Crash'n'burn
Tonight
Reflection
