| SAATTUE BIOGRAPHY
Saattue - meaning procession in Finnish - started their journey in 2001. The band released their first self-financed EP "Kivisydän" in 2004 and its follow up EP release "Ikiuneen" in 2006. Saattue's debut album "Jäähyvästi" will be released in early 2008 by Spikefarm Records.
In their music Saattue combine their native language Finnish to dark, raw and emotional musical elements. Saattue's roots are deeply in doom metal and other extreme metal genres, but they've also gathered influences from dark rock groups such as the Finnish cult rock act Mana Mana.
Typical trademarks of the Saattue-sound are oppressive heaviness, rawness, atmospheric passages and ear-catching chorus melodies.
