SARCOFAGUS, The Godfathers of Finnish Heavy Metal, fronted by filmmaker and musician
Kimmo Kuusniemi, at the end of 2020 declared the band has returned to the Valley Of The Kings.
Kimmo Kuusniemi, Ex Sarcofagus:
“Well, I was sure Sarcofagus will not die easily “Absence Of Light” was meant to be the title of the last Sarcofagus album release but before it was recorded I had decided it was time for Sarcofagus to go back to the Valley Of The Kings.
Toni Hietomaa made the fantastic cover for the album and now it is rightly the cover of this Compact Cassette release.
Kimmo Kuusniemi, declares the band has returned to the Valley Of The Kings.
Kimmo Kuusniemi:
“Sarcofagus has been great balance of fun and pain. My albums have always had social commentary as many of my films have. I had come to the conclusions on the CORE VALUES re-release video long before the Covid19 pandemic arrived, that I am fed up with writing songs about social problems. Technology is progressing with ever increasing speed but us as humans we seem to be doomed to repeat our mistakes.
Since Covid started I have been working on a new audio visual project. This combines my need to create something new both in music and in film. There is already several songs finished with collaboration with great musicians from Siberia to Los Angeles.
