NIGHTWISH, SONATA ARCTICA, TERÄSBETONI, KIUAS Members Perform Finnish Christmas Songs (Video)
December 21, 2010RASKAS JOULU (Heavy Christmas) — a Finnish project which celebrates Christmas and its music tradition mixed with metal — completed its annual tour this past weekend with three shows at Tavastia in Helsinki. Two concerts were held on December 18 — an afternoon all-ages show and an evening performance.

* Juha-Pekka Leppäluoto (CHARON, HARMAJA, NORTHERN KINGS)
* Ari Koivunen (AMORAL)
* Antony Parviainen (MACHINE MEN)
* Ilja Jalkanen (KIUAS)
* Tommi "Tuple" Salmela (TAROT)
* Tony Kakko (SONATA ARCTICA, NORTHERN KINGS)
* Marco Hietala (NIGHTWISH, TAROT, NORTHERN KINGS, SAPATTIVUOSI)
