Bio
.. ........ ............ Verenn is a modern rock band from Finland. Verenn's music is characterised by strong guitar riffs with metal nuances and catchy vocal melodies with lots of emotion. Influences range from industrial to heavy, from grunge to pop - but what it all boils down to is great rock tunes with interesting and intelligent lyrics. To hell with genre definitions!.... ..BIOGRAPHY:...... Although the first chords for Verenn were struck as early as in the spring 2000 in Jussi's home studio, the true beginning can be placed in the summer 2003. By then Jussi had went through some failed attempts with different vocalists, and finally turned to his old friend Mikko..... The co-operation kicked off wonderfully. The chemistry worked wonderfully, and Mikko's vocal parts brought new dimensions to the Verenn sound, moving it from the more traditional heavy metal towards modern rock. Soon the first demo with two songs (..Soul and Stars Are Out Of Place..) was recorded (in 2004). Demo received a great deal of positive attention in the music forums of the internet and encouraged the band to keep going..... In April 2005, Verenn joined forces with another band called ..Maplesnow.. and started their own record label, Matara Music. The label's first release was Verenn's Awake EP, released in June 2005. Awake gained nice feedback and radio airplay around Europe. The title track also gained attention as it was featured on a Finnish new school video ..Destination Changed.., which won The Most Innovative Approach -category in the world's biggest ski video contest Vast Awards..... It was time for the first true display of power of Verenn. The song material for the debut album was written in the latter half of 2005, and the recordings took place mainly in November '05 - January '06. The first single No Trace, No Sound was released in 31st of March, 2006, and the album, titled The Game, saw daylight on 19th of May..... The rest will make history. The ten songs featured on The Game paint a panorama picture of what Verenn is about - where the band comes from and what they are moving towards. The range from metal- influenced rock via pop towards epic and athmospheric emo-rock displays the band's versatility and courage, and simultaneously awakes anticipation for the future - if this is the start, then what might this band eventually have to offer?.... ..For full bio, more clips and info about Verenn, please visit:.. ..www.verenn.com.......... ........ ..VERENN WEBSITE BANNER - Copy below code to your profile:.. ........ ........ ..VERENN MYSPACE BANNER - Copy below code to your profile:.. ..

BIOGRAPHY:

Although the first chords for Verenn were struck as early as in the spring 2000 in Jussi's home studio, the true beginning can be placed in the summer 2003. By then Jussi had went through some failed attempts with different vocalists, and finally turned to his old friend Mikko.

The co-operation kicked off wonderfully. The chemistry worked wonderfully, and Mikko's vocal parts brought new dimensions to the Verenn sound, moving it from the more traditional heavy metal towards modern rock. Soon the first demo with two songs (Soul and Stars Are Out Of Place) was recorded (in 2004). Demo received a great deal of positive attention in the music forums of the internet and encouraged the band to keep going.

In April 2005, Verenn joined forces with another band called Maplesnow and started their own record label, Matara Music. The label's first release was Verenn's Awake EP, released in June 2005.
