The Rasmus
Finnish rockers The Rasmus became an international sensation with 'In the Shadows' from their 2003 album 'Dead Letters,' a dark, brooding single that topped charts across Europe and became one of the most recognizable rock songs of the decade. Led by vocalist Lauri Ylonen's distinctive, melancholic delivery and the band's gothic-tinged alternative rock, The Rasmus have been one of Finland's biggest musical exports since the mid-1990s. Their 2022 Eurovision entry for Finland reintroduced them to a new generation, demonstrating the enduring appeal of their atmospheric, emotionally charged songwriting.
