Essentia

Essentia is an alternative rock-band from Tampere, Finland

with its roots in Hämeenkyrö. The band was formed in 2001

and today, after 10 years, the five-membered brotherhood is

taking new steps and celebrates their 10th anniversary with

the release of the debutalbum "Decade".

The songs on "Decade" have been composed during the

years gone by so they represent the different phases

Essentia has gone through.

The lyrics may criticize domestic violence but they also

remind the listeners about the importance of fighting for one’s

dreams and tell how a smile has a great power over all the

evil, just to mention a few themes.

The band’s style has gradually developed to its current form

that could be described as straightforward but multifaceted

rock.

Essentia has played approximately 200 gigs and participated

in a few interesting projects including making the first Nordic

music video in 3D (Suicide in Chinatown) and a tour in

Europe in 2008.
