There was many who felt that “In the Shadows” was one of the most ennoying rocksongs ever. But the breakthrough for the finnish The Rasmus led to that the got a wide audience, and at the same time was off-written as a boring popband of heavyrockers.
They actually had to leave the stage under a few conserts in England, …read more »
The Finlanders massive success story continues
When a group of former schoolmates work for 11 years to secure international success, you can bet it won’t be relinquished easily. Having achieved platinum status in the UK and all across mainland Europe with their fifth album, 2004′s hit-encrusted Dead Letters (featuring the Top Three smash In The Shadows), Finland’s The Rasmus have wisely chosen to offer an identical goth-pop-metal smogasbord. …read more »

Ah, The Rasmus. How fondly we remember. The first thing that struck our minds when we heard The Rasmus’ was Lauri Ylonen’s husky voice tearing through a sizzling guitar riff a la “In The Shadows”. For at least two months, it was everyone’s favourite rock number and we couldn’t get enough. …read more »
Nearly ten years ago The Rasmus, once founded as student band in Helsinki, published their debut, and their music sounded as young and relaxed as the Finns were then. The quartet around frontman Lauri Ylönen in those times composed lively songs full of adolescent high spirits and at least in their home country they hit a nerve straight from the beginning. They are still successful, nowadays though even on international level, but only little of the jaunty joviality of the early years remains. …read more »
The last album Dead letters sold 1,5 million copies, but how can you ever do that again? On the new album Hide from the sun the finnish band The rasmus tries to please all the fans with a mixture of something hard and softer stuff.
After 9 years struggeling of the finnish clubs The rasmus got a big break through 2003 with Dead letters and the album sold a lot and they also became the best nordic sellers and the hopes for the new album is therfor very high, but the critics have also become worse. …read more »
After The Rasmus released Dead Letters last year many of us (including this writer) dismissed them as a flash in the pan pop act on the wrong side of the musical tracks. Having amassed a huge following regardless, the question now isn’t whether we should embrace The Rasmus but whether they’ve got anything more to offer. Opening track Shot shows they’ve done little to stray from their trademark infectious pop sound, but there’s an added edge that places the Finns at the more dynamic end of the commercial scale. …read more »

You’ve got to feel at least a little bit sorry for The Rasmus. No, seriously. Put those bottles down at the back. Shortly befor their ill-fated appearance at last years Carling weekend, frontman Lauri Ylönen was gushing to Kerrang! about having the chance to play at a festival that purely as a fan – he used to travel some 1,200 miles to attend. Days later his band were beating and ignominious retreat, bottled off after one song for the heinous crime of making music that some people didn’t much like. …read more »
Who:
Finnish Rockers The Rasmus may look like the stuff nightmares are made of, but let’s remember that they can still belt out a tune – despite being, er, facially challenged.
How’s it sound?
The Helsinki hellraisers have dazzled us once more with more shadowy pop rock. As with their last album, cocky guitars mate with eerie pianos and urgent hooks. …read more »
