Biography


Three guys into heavy rock music, that's what we are. Can't live without playing it or can't live without doing something that really matters, at least to us.

>From Helsinki, Finland we come; the place of polar bears and shit. It's a sad city supporting a great deal of broken-hearted people to write music about. Yeah, there might not be such thing in our world as a happy song, but they suck anyway.

One Eye Shut was founded in 2003 by Jari and Jokkari in the back corner of a nocturnal bar in Helsinki. Mortex Killer, the super hero of east-Helsinki, was asked to join just shortly after that. Just another rock band you might think, but it's the chemistry between us that makes this so fucking great. We really think that all the good bands, such as AC/DC and Black Sabbath are nothing but a creation of good friendship, working chemistry and brilliant songs. Then again, we might be wrong...

Never mind the darkness, you'll get used to it.
