TENHI (Finland)
"Our music is comprised of dark passages through shaded landscapes. The flower Vanamo (Linnaea borealis) represents our music well. Its downward-turned bud rises from the forest floor by only a few inches. It is a wild flower of shady forests." With these words, Finnish musicians TENHI approach their own extraordinary music in a metaphorical manner.
But, what does it all mean in concrete terms? Tyko Saarikko, Ilmari Issakainen, and Ilkka Salminen founded TENHI in 1996. Ever since their first album "Kauan" (1999), this trio is achieving a balancing act between Finnish folklore, Progressive rock and the darkness of Gothic music – and quite successfully so, as TENHI's audience is a varied and open-minded assortment from all these scenes and beyond. The press attests to their unique style, compositional class, and stirring music as well: Visions magazine dubbed them "Sigur Rós in the woods", writing: "Romantic regression just couldn't be any more charming." Eclipsed magazine considers TENHI's music to be "sublime Folk of supernal beauty," while Orkus selected each of the band's studio albums so far as their "album of the month."
