As most foreign fans know, to become a fan of a Finnish band is to become a suomiphile, addicted to all things Finnish. So here’s a little bit of Finnish life for you.
The Helsinki Zoo has just had it’s first camel birth in many years! Go visit baby Snufkin and see him try to stand up! There’s also a minute long video showing Snufkin wobbling around on his new legs.

In an interview with ultimate-guitar.com, Linde announced that a second Daniel Lioneye album is in the works. Looks like this time around its going to be black metal. Should be interesting…
I’m actually about to do a second version of that band. It is going to be a black metal album this time round. I don’t know yet whether I’ll be doing the screaming or the growling but I’m definitely making it. We already have four songs ready to go now and once we get back home in early April, I’ll start work on it. So hopefully it’ll be out sometime later this year. (from ultimate-guitar.com)

31 March 08. Negative have announced that their new album “Karma Killer” will be released on May 7 in Scandinavia. The rest of Europe and Japan will recieve the album later this spring. The first single from Karma Killer is “Won’t Let Go”.
Also, Negative have announced that their new guitarist, replacing Sir Christus, is Gary.
“I’ve known the guys for about seven years, played at the same gigs with them with my own band etc., so when Negative was in need of a guitar player, Antti (NGT’s bass player) asked me to come up and try out with them, as they thought that I could fit into the band pretty nicely. Everything’s gone well so far, the mood inside the band is great and it just feel natural”, says Gary. (From Official Site)

My house needs to be cleaned, I need to balance my checkbook and I have a to-do list as long as my arm.
So this is why I am reading up on Finnish bands! Here is a short and sweet piece talking to Perttu. Enjoy!

It’s still another half hour to the concert but I just noticed that you can see them underneath the announcement! I’m fairly certain that what I am seeing is the guys getting set up for the concert and doing the sound check. Perttu just got up and walked offstage and looks like Paavo and Eicca are still checking out their instruments.
Fun! I wonder if they know that they’re being broadcast already even if hidden behind a semi transparent ad thing.
