CRIMSON TEARS (Finland)
"Your Light"



Formerly known as Satyron, Crimson Tears is a Finnish band formed in 1997.

Actual Line-Up :
Tommi Kemilä - Vocals
Niina Kärppä - Violin, Keyboards, Vocals
Matti Rahkonen - Rhythm Guitar
Ville Leppänen - Lead Guitar
Jussi Peltonen - Bass
Mika Toivari - Drums


The band was originally put together by Matti Rahkonen and Jussi Peltonen in 1997. Jarkko Yli-Kiikka joined the group as a singer, and shortly after that drummer Mika Toivari and a local guitar hero Ville Leppänen came in. Niina Kärppä (vocals, keyboards & violin) joined the band in 1999.

In spring 2000 Satyron released their first EP, Snowfall. It included five songs.Things seemed pretty well, but some trouble came up when Jarkko Yli-Kiikka suddenly decided to leave the band for personal reasons. The members considered this only as a minor problem.

After few sessions with some "test subjects", Ville Leppänen found a promising new talent, Kari Skyttä, who had some previous band experience and he joined the group in autumn 2000. With this line-up, the group made several gigs and worked with new material.

The band released their second EP, named "Cold" just before Christmas 2002. There were three songs on. Unlike the first EP, Cold was recorded and mixed by the group themselves at their training facilities. This gave some good experience to the band in forming their own sound and in the end, turned out to be the main purpose of the EP.

Still in search for their own thing, band made several concerts and wrote again new songs. In 2004 the group started recording a demo, "Dead Silence" which was finished in spring 2005. Five songs in all were recorded, but only three of them ended up on the disc. At the same time, Satyron decided to change their name to "Crimson Tears", as they felt that the musical style they were after was finally created. Another reason for the name-change was that Satyron gave people some wrong ideas about the musical style of the band .

Another problem showed up : Kari Skyttä decided that it was time for him to retire, only one week before the concert on Räyhärock 2005 festival !

The members of the group knew that there was only one man who could do the job and learn all the songs within one week : The first-ever vocalist of Satyron, Jarkko Yli-Kiikka.

Jarkko took the challenge and gave an excellent performance on stage. After pulling through succesfully on Räyhärock, the biggest panic was over. It was time to scan the southern Finland for talented vocalists. A few were found, but one was clearly above the rest. Tommi Kemilä (familiarly known as "Kemmi") was spotted from Räyhärock, where he performed with an act called Burnhill Experience. All the members of Crimson Tears were stunned by Kemmi's strong voice and charismatic personality, so it was not a difficult decision to ask him to join in.

Last Year, they released another album named "Voices".




Your Light
Now where is the light
I've been wandering in the dark
Since you left me
Torn apart

And where is the fire
Burning so restless within me
Within you
Making us one.

The bridges we burnt, they can be mended
The doors we closed, they can be opened again
Don't you believe me

Now I know,
My heart is getting colder
And I can't take another night again
Without your light

So where can you go
Can you ever find a place
In this world
So unforgiving.

And where can I go
With my heart behind a wall
Of frozen tears
And dead promises

So where is the light
And where is the fire burning
So restless within me and you

Now where can I go
With my heart behind a wall
Of frozen tears and dead promises

Without your light...
