TERÄSBETONI Signs With SAKARA RECORDS

June 17, 2010

Finnish metal group TERÄSBETONI — which represented Finland in the 2008 Eurovision Song Contest — has inked a deal with Sakara Records. The band will enter the studio at the end of the summer with producer Hiili Hiilesmaa (HIM, THE 69 EYES, LORDI, SENTENCED, APOCALYPTICA) to begin recording its as-yet-untitled fourth album for a late 2010 release.

Hiilesmaa produced the last two albums from TERÄSBETONI, "Vaadimme metallia" and "Myrskyntuoja", both of which were certified gold in Finland.

TERÄSBETONI's debut LP, "Metallitotuus", was certified platinum in Finland and was honored in the "Metal Album of the Year" category at the annual Emma Gaala (Finnish Grammy equivalent).

TERÄSBETONI was asked to participate in the Finnish Eurovision qualification of 2008. The band won the public's vote with the song "Missä Miehet Ratsastaa" ("Where All The Men Ride Forth"),from their then-newly-released "Myrskyntuoja" album and proceeded to represent Finland at the Eurovision Song Contest in Serbia. TERÄSBETONI went through to the Eurovision Song Contest final and had the prestigious experience of performing for over 100 million viewers!

TERÄSBETONI is:

J. Ahola - Vocals, Bass
A. Järvinen - Guitar, Vocals
V. Rantanen - Guitar
J. Kuokkanen - Drums
