Kosmos - Olli Valtonen

Kosmos is a Finnish folk-progressive group from Turku with folk, prog and early 70s psychedelic rock influences. Our songs rely on strong atmosphere and interesting lyrics, which are often talking about "the other reality" (mainly the cosmic and mystic one).

The 1st album "Tarinoita Voimasta" (2005) is a fairly mellow album with lots of acoustic guitar, mellotron, piano, flute and violin. The 2nd album "Polku" (2007) is a bit more psychedelic with new instruments such as bassoon, bombarde and theremin. The 3rd album "Vieraan Taivaan Alla" (2009) starts with folkier material, but later becomes more electric and psychedelic. The 4th album "Salattu Maailma" (2013) is the most diverse Kosmos album yet, offering folk, psychedelia and symphonic progressive.

In the 5th album "Mirror of Time" (2019) Kosmos continue in their own original style. The cd-version of the album is now released by an Italian company Lizard Records. This new pressing of the album has been available since 2021.
