Biography

Finland

BFTA, a oneman anti-band, hails from Finland’s primeval forests,
and combines drone/doom(metal) with acoustic elements; folk and world music to form ritualistic compositions.

Promo/Demo/EP “I” was released on April 30th 2009 as CD-r and was sold out on July 2nd 2009

The upcoming full lenght album will be released by Starlight Temple Society, which states the following:

“Bird from the Abyss comes from Finland, a land where nighttime dominates the dayside and where inside deep, dark forests still dwell the ancient creatures of the mythological north. But the music of BFTA is more exotic, more Mediterranean - its aura is one culled from the ancient Egyptian ethos, its ritualistic nature is foreboding and sinister. When one hears the music of BFTA. they will uncover many styles from doom to ambient to folk to progressive- all synthesized and textured in a way which births a new and completely original dark sound. “

    UPDATE : I've been in contact with Matias' family, and the official cause of death was myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscles). No drugs or anything were found in his system during the autopsy.
