Life

Timo Rautiainen is one of the pioneers in the Finnish metal scene . In 1981 he was one of the founding members of the heavy / doom metal band Lyijykomppania ( Finnish: 'lead company'). Without having released anything, the band split up two years later. In 1990 the band reformed with the same line-up. By the second breakup in 1996, the band released three studio albums. The second reunification took place in 2003 without Rautiainen.

In 1996 Rautiainen founded the band Timo Rautiainen ja Trio Niskalaukaus (Finnish: Timo Rautiainen and the neck shot trio ). The band brought heavy metal to the charts with Finnish lyrics. All of the band's albums went platinum in Finland. In 2001 and 2004 the band released two albums in which selected songs with German lyrics were performed. With these albums the band was able to achieve some respectable successes in the German-speaking area and went on tour with HIM and Nightwish . At the end of 2004, the band announced an indefinite break. On November 1, 2006, the band announced their breakup.

In the meantime, Rautiainen began his solo career. With Jarkko Petosalmi and Nils Ursin, two members of the Niskalaukaus trio belong to his solo band. On April 26, 2006, the debut album Sarvivuori was released. Tuomas Holopainen ( Nightwish ) and Alexander Kuoppala (ex- Children of Bodom ) appeared as guest musicians . Sarvivuori reached number two on the Finnish album charts and dropped three top 20 singles, with Punainen Viiva topping the single charts for three weeks.

On May 23, 2007 the second studio album Loppun Ajettu will be released . The previously released single Outolintu reached number three in the Finnish single charts.
