Kotiteollisuus

Kotiteollisuus from Lappeenranta is one of Finland's most respected heavy rock bands. The band was known from 1993 to 1997 under the name Hullu ukko and Kotiteollisuus, until the name was shortened to its current form. In 2004, the band won the Emma Award for best hard rock/metal album for their work Helvetistä itään - the same album that made them more widely known. Some of their most famous songs include Rakastaa/ei rakasta, Helvetistä itään and Minä olen.

Band frontman Jouni Hynynen is responsible for vocals, guitar, lyrics, composition and arrangement. The band also includes Jari Sinkkonen (drums and backing vocals), Janne Hongisto (bass guitar and backing vocals) and Miitri Aaltonen (guitar and backing vocals).
