Superchrist biography 2009
Colorful power trio Superchrist from Helsinki, Finland are guitarist-vocalist Mikko, drummer Lassi and bassist Minttu. And they've got something for you. Their sound has been described as a twisted cross between NIN, White Stripes, QOTSA, and even Prince! And truly they just are not the ones from around the corner, as you will find out!
Formed in 2000, Superchist slowly became a well-known name in the Finnish indie scene. After several acclaimed EP's and over 100 gigs Superchrist's long-awaited debut album, self-produced Colorgun, was released in Finland in November 2005. It was picked as The Album Of The Week in YleX (Finland's Radio One) and the first video Tear Me Down Tonight also got lot of airplay on MTV. The album was featured widely and reviewed extremely well in all Finnish music papers and magazines. Finland's most acclaimed music journalist, Mr. Ilkka Mattila, gave the album a total of 5 stars of the maximum 5 rating in the main national newspaper Helsingin Sanomat. Later the paper picked Superchrist's album as one of the year's best albums only among few other Finnish bands.
Active touring in spring and fall 2006 gave the band inspiration to go to studio and give birth to their second album Surfing The Zeitchrist. It was released in March 2007, and again it received praises in music papers and fans. The album was more live and raw sounding, and introduced a bit more funk/rhythm side of the band, which only had been waiting under the hood for many years. One of themes on the album was media criticism, and the music video Thesh, It Is Lying There introduced Jan Dresden, a media lobby who appeared as a spokesman for the "real truth" in press... :)
After excessive touring and two acclaimed albums behind, the band took a song-writing break for almost the whole year 2008 and spring 2009 to create their masterpiece so far - Superchrist has started working on their third album Rocket Science. Stay tuned!
