House Of Mirrors

about

HOUSE OF MIRRORS was born in 1993 when Jaakko Niitemaa, a promising young guitarist, teamed up with vocalist Pekka Rautiainen and guitarist Kari Riihimäki (who contributes lyrics to the band), both formerly of WARDANCE fame. In 1995, after a number of 8-track demos the band finally went to a real recording studio and with high hopes recorded their first true demo. This time the line-up was strengthened by Janne Engblom (of BEAT fame) on bass, and the former drummer for IRON CROSS, Jimbo Mäkeläinen on drums. The demo was well received and got a fair amount of airplay on Finnish radio stations. Janne's visit in HOUSE OF MIRRORS remained a short one, the 1995 recording was the only one in which he featured. For a while, nothing really happened for the band and years went by with Jaakko teaching the guitar in a small local music school. Pekka got signed by EMI Finland and made a successful pop record "Haaveiden Hotelli" using the name Julius. Single cuts from the record were played all over the Finnish radio and it also took him all the way to Helsinki Olympic Stadium where he sang in front of 50,000 people, opening for none other than TINA TURNER. All the time Jaakko kept the HOUSE OF MIRRORS flame burning by continuously writing new songs and slowly starting to build a home studio. Millions of song demos, many failed band attempts and a short period of life as a hermit, the year 2000 saw the band form again, this time with Rasmus Puranen on drums and Harri Holopainen on bass.
