Kallomäki is a pagan metal and dark folk band from Riihimäki, founded in 2018 by Tero Kalliomäki (ex-Yearning, Embassy of Silence). The band's sound is built around a self-built electric jouhikko (bowed lyre) and revolves around the mythical figure of Roka Ukri, an ancient pagan cult leader invented by Kalliomäki. Their live shows blend spells, ritual, and improvisation into theatrical performances that range from acoustic solo sets to full-band spectacles.
Kallomäki released the single 'Hallamaa' in February 2026, their most recent release to date.
The band released a cover of Timo Rautiainen & Trio Niskalaukaus's 'Lumessakahlaajat' on Finnish Independence Day, December 6, 2025.
Kallomäki released the single 'Noidan nousu' in May 2025.
The single 'Kallomäelle' was released in January 2025, continuing a run of new material following the 2023 album.
Kallomäki kicked off their 2024 live season at Hard Rock House in Helsinki on January 12, with plans to play Nummirock and Germany's Hörnerfeste that summer.
