The END 1977 – 2020 The First Finnish Heavy Metal Band – SARCOFAGUS – calls it a day!

SARCOFAGUS, The Godfathers of Finnish Heavy Metal, fronted by filmmaker and guitarist Kimmo Kuusniemi, declares the band has returned to the Valley Of The Kings.

Kimmo Kuusniemi: “Sarcofagus has been great balance of fun and pain. My albums have always had social commentary as many of my films have. I had come to the conclusions on the CORE VALUES re-release video long before the Covid19 pandemic arrived, that I am fed up with writing songs about social problems. Technology is progressing with ever increasing speed but us as humans we seem to be doomed to repeat our mistakes.

Since Covid started I have been working on a new audio visual project. This combines my need to create something new both in music and in film. There is already several songs finished with collaboration with great musicians from Siberia to Los Angeles.

Jeremy Porter & The Tucos Release of first single “Dead Ringer”

For the unindoctrinated, the Tucos are a rave up, rock and roll band of the highest, truest order; they sound like guitars and whiskey, hooks and heartache, and sullen, youthful defiance.

Simply, it’s rebellious and reverent Detroit rock and roll, even Detroit might not be ready for it.
