SOLD OUT SHOWS IN FINLAND
The Rasmus are currently touring Finland and have had sold out shows in Helsinki, Jyväskylä and Oulu. "Everyone in the band feels fantastic about touring our home country and the atmosphere is very laid back" according to bassist Eero. The band have delighted and suprised audiences by playing some really old stuff, such as 'Funky Jam' and the very wonderful 'Rakkauslaulu' ('Love Song'), which is sung in Finnish.

The Rasmus have also enjoyed seeing the beautiful Finnish autumn scenery as they criss-cross around the country. No place like home! Tonight the band wow the people of Kuopio, tomorrow is the last date of the Finnish tour in Tampere.

Release of Hide From The Sun Today!!
Today is the official release of The Rasmus new album HIDE FROM THE SUN in most countries in Europe, some follow in the next couple of weeks. The band's 6th album is certainly their strongest so far, heavier but yet more beautiful than before. Listen to the single No Fear, or the equally hit sounding Shot, or the epic Immortal, or Dead Promises (with contributing friends Apocalyptica on cellos)... ...this is truly astonishing eleven songs - and if you want more - check out the Special Limited Edition of the CD, with one more bonus track and deluxe packaging...

The Rasmus are now very happy to finally release the album, after many months of hard work. The album was recorded in Bromma, Sweden, and just like the two previous records produced by Martin Hansen and Mikael Nord Andersson.

The single No Fear is climbing up sales charts and airplay charts all over Europe now. If you get a chance - don't hesitate to request it from your local radio station!

The Rasmus now look forward to soon go on tour in Europe. "We can't wait to get out and play the new songs on the road", says Lauri.
