Kenziner
Epic neo-classical metal group led by guitar virtuoso Jarno Keskinen from Riihimäki.
On the debut album Mr Keskinen handled all the instruments except drums by himself but
on the second album he was joined by another Finn (Mikko Harkin, keyboards, later also in
Sonata Arctica) and two Americans (Stephen Fredricks, vocals & Brian Harris, drums).
Both albums are produced by David T. Chastain.
After the second album things got dissonant
between Jarno Keskinen and the record company which led to Keskinen's departure from the group.
The record company is planning to find a replacement but any fool can see they are flogging a dead horse.

Kirka
Kiril "Kirka" Babitzin has released dozens of records since '67 and even though most of his recordings
are more likely to be to your mother's liking, he certainly deserves a mention here. First of all Kirka
has a great voice for hard rock and his first experiment with this type of music was Kimmo Kuusniemi's
post-Sarcofagus project Moottorilinnut in '82 where he sang two songs. A couple of years
later Kirka released two more than decent hard rock albums before returning to softer music.
In addition to his musical efforts he helped Tarot get a record deal back in '86. In '84 Kirka
also represented Finland in the Eurovision Song Contest reaching the 9th position - the winners
were Sweden's pride the Herreys.
