Tritone

T

his Finnish band is a bit of an oddity playing various forms of heavy metal. Their debut, under the membership of Teemu Lehtonen (vocals/guitars), Jarmo Vuorensola (bass) and Jani Lindholm-Ventola (drums), is a rare example of a band doing a covers album of one single other band. It also is a rare debut in that it is a covers album as a debut. In a third oddity, that album, 2002's Covers Nirvana, sounds nothing like the band they are trying to cover, in this case Nirvana! A full unique studio album would follow the next year in the form of Wings Of Freedom, now with Tony Kaipia on vocals. The band split sometime after, never recording again.
