Biography

Twilightning formed in 1998, consisting of guitarists Tommi Sartanen and Ville Wallenius, bassist Jussi Kainulainen, and drummer Juha Leskinen, with Tommi also on vocals. After releasing their first demo in 1999, they were joined by keyboardist Mikko Naukkarinen. Following the release of their second demo in 2001, Heikki Pöyhiä joined as lead singer. With this reinforced lineup, they release a third demo, which demonstrated their heavy influence from 1980s heavy metal. [ [http://www.rocknoise.de/artists/202/twilightning/bio.html Biography] at Rocknoise.de. (German) Accessed September 25, 2007.] Thanks to the interest this stirred, the group signed to Spinefarm Records, releasing their debut "Delirium Veil" in 2003, which drew comparisons to Edguy, Stratovarius, and Sonata Arctica. [ [http://www.metalcovenant.com/pages/cdreviews/delirium_veil.htm Review of "Delirium Veil"] , Metal Covenant. Accessed September 25, 2007.] They followed that up by releasing "Plague-House Puppet Show" in 2004, and the EP "Bedlam" in 2006. [ [http://wm05.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:gjfwxqraldse~T2 Discography] at Allmusic.com] Shortly after the release of "Bedlam", Mikko Naukkarinen left the band.

The latest release by Twilightning was "Swinelords", released in 2007. It departed significantly from the distinctive power metal sounds of their previous releases, drifting more into the 80s hard rock genre. It features more laid back vocals and guitar work, as well as a complete lack of keyboards. [ [http://www.metalcrypt.com/pages/review.php?revid=3466 CD review on Metalcrypt.com] ]
