Oulu, Finland (2004 – present)

Antipope is a metal band from Oulu, Finland. Antipope was formed in 2004, and consists MJ Myllykangas (lead vocals), Santtu Heinilehto (bass guitar), Juho Rikberg (guitar, backing vocals), Antti J. Karjalainen (guitar, backing vocals) and Tuska E. (drums). Antipope initiated as a black metal outfit but have since the inception incorporated many different styles of metal into their sound. The main elements of influence have been black metal, melodic heavy metal, progressive metal, and later on, doom, gothic and industrial metal. The vocal style of MJ Myllykangas was originally mainly scream/death grunt but later on moved more melodic and clean direction, still retaining the harsher elements.

Antipope’s roots can be traced to a black metal band named by “Tuska” (‘pain/agony’ in finnish). Kajaani based Tuska existed between the years 1998-2001. After a couple of years of break from “extreme metal” Santtu Heinilehto, MJ Myllykangas (guitars/vocals) and Jyri Palmu (drums), all former members of Tuska, started a black metal studio project, named by “Antipope”.

Antipope existed as a trio for little over a year until in the autumn of 2005 J Rikberg took the responsibility of lead guitarist. Need for another guitarist had risen once the band began to consider taking steps to perform live - after positive feedback from those who had heard their home-made recordings - although the band originally did consider themselves as only a studio group.
