Sakara Tour 2010 Takes Over The Finnish Rock Clubs In November

The successful year of Sakara Records will culminate in Sakara Tour 2010 in November. Stam1na, Mokoma, Rytmihäiriö and FM2000 will hit eight top clubs of Finland during two weeks. Also the record label’s latest member Teräsbetoni will join the tour for two gigs.

All the bands have released or will release their new albums during this year. Stam1na released their new album called Viimeinen Atlantis which is glorified by critics and loved by the fans. The album was also rewarded by the environment award. Mokoma continued the collection of their gold discs with the latest album Sydänjuuret. Rytmihäiriö’s album Surmantuoja increased their popularity among the friends of extreme expression. FM2000 from a city called Pieksämäki will release their new album Opium Grilli 29^th September. Also Teräsbetoni’s first album for Sakara Records will be available during this year.

“Touring together with so hearty company is the best way to celebrate Sakara’s year 2010 which has been success in every way. Great albums from great men! Now we will get the chance to party with the bands’ fans with a big gang so I can’t wish anything more”, says Mokama’s guitarist Tuomo Saikkonen who is also the managing director of Sakara Records.

“I hope that people will come to check out the live shape of the bands. I could claim that each band is better than ever. I also claim that only Martti Servo could beat the entertainment level of this tour”, says Stam1na’s singer/guitarist Antti Hyyrynen.

Sakara Tour 2010 is a continuation of Sakara Tour 2006 which entertained fans one Olympiad ago. The tour was unforgettable for the bands too:

“Year 2006 was one of the most important caps of a wave. Every band from Sakara Records released the most important album of their careers. All the bands were getting bigger and Finnish metal was doing excellent. Band members were so young that drinking business was handled well too. I remember how our bass player Kangasmäki told how he saw ghosts and a pile of bodies after the tour. I remember suffering from depression. So the Sakara Tour was a perfect way to finish that year with an original rock ’n’ roll style”, says Hyyrynen.
