History
Early history
Sielun Veljet was formed shortly after Hassisen Kone, a successful and well-known punk rock band, disbanded. Hassisen Kone was a Finnish rock band founded in 1979 in Joensuu. Singer-guitarist Alanko and guitarist Jukka Orma wanted to start making a totally different kind of music than what Hassisen Kone had done and what the Finnish public expected of them. A guitarist is a Musician who plays the Guitar. Guitarists may perform solo pieces or play with ensembles and bands of a wide variety of genres [5] The band was complete with bassist Jouko Hohko and drummer Alf Forsman. A bass player (bassist is a Musician who plays a Double bass, Bass guitar, keyboard bass or wind A drummer is a Musician who plays a Drum or drums particularly a Drum kit ("drum set" or "trap set" Marching percussion
The band's live performances were loud, energetic and extremely intensive from the beginning, and people soon stopped expecting another Hassisen Kone. The concerts were sometimes extremely long -- one gig in Nivala in the 1980s lasted for four and a half hours and ended only when security personnel forced Alanko off the stage. Nivala is a municipality of Finland. It is located in the province of Oulu and is part of the Northern Ostrobothnia region [6]
The band's self-titled debut album was recorded live in 1983. Sielun Veljet is the 1983 debut album of the band of the same name. Shortly thereafter, with the 1983 EP Lapset and the 1984 album Hei soturit, the band started slowly gaining popularity. An extended play ( EP) is a Vinyl record, CD, or Music download which contains more music than a single, but is too short to qualify Hei soturit ( Finnish for "Hey Warriors" is the second studio album by the Finnish rock group Sielun Veljet. [5] The two recordings were joined together on later releases. [7]
Breakthrough
L'amourha (1985) became the critical and commercial breakthrough for Sielun Veljet, and remains by far their highest selling album. L'amourha is the third album of Sielun Veljet. It was their breakthrough album gaining much of its success from the hit single "Peltirumpu" "Peltirumpu" became the band's first real hit. The album and its follow-up Kuka teki huorin (1986) are considered the most accessible Sielun Veljet recordings, and remain the band's only studio album gold records. Kuka teki huorin is the fourth album of Finnish rock band Sielun Veljet. [8][9]
After Kuka teki huorin, Sielun Veljet started re-recording some of their material in English in order to find an audience outside Finland. They recorded an EP Ritual (1986) and the album Shit-Hot (1987) using the alias L'amourder. An extended play ( EP) is a Vinyl record, CD, or Music download which contains more music than a single, but is too short to qualify Shit-Hot is an album by L'amourder a Pseudonym for Sielun Veljet. The name is a direct translation of the name of their most successful album - "murha" means "murder" in Finnish. A tour in Europe followed, and the band was even allowed to tour in Soviet Russia, which proved to be a success. [10]
Suomi-Finland (1988), recorded in Finnish, saw Sielun Veljet moving into a more acoustic sound than before. Suomi-Finland is the sixth studio album of the Finnish rock band Sielun Veljet. Acoustic music refers to music that solely or primarily uses instruments which produce sound through entirely acoustic means as opposed to Electronic means The album's lyrics concentrated on the issues present in late 1980s Finland, such as the growing influence of American culture. The United States of America —commonly referred to as the [5] It was followed by all-acoustic Softwood Music Under Slow Pillars (1989), written in English but not released outside Finland. Softwood Music Under Slow Pillars (or simply Softwood Music) is the seventh album of Sielun Veljet, released in 1989
Breakup
After the commercial failure of Softwood Music, the band decided to quit. A greatest hits collection Myytävänä! was released the same year, followed by a three-CD box set Musta laatikko in 1991. A box set (sometimes referred to as a boxed set) is a compilation of various musical recordings Films Television programs or other collection Musta laatikko ( Finnish for Black Box) is a Box set by Sielun Veljet, released in 1991 Musta laatikko included some rarely heard live and studio material, as well as a full live set under the alias Kullervo Kivi & Gehenna. A documentary film titled Veljet was also released in 1991.

In 2007, Jukka Orma mixed together some Tuomari Nurmio covers the band had recorded in 1990, some of which had been included on Musta laatikko. Tuomari Nurmio is the artist name of Hannu Juhani Nurmio (b 1950 in Helsinki) a Finnish rock singer and songwriter The album was released as Otteita Tuomari Nurmion laulukirjasta, and it reached #1 on the Finnish album charts, highest position ever for Sielun Veljet.
