Esbo, Helsinki, Finland (2000 – present)
Kiuas is a metal band from Espoo, Finland. They have influences from such sub-genres as death metal, power metal and folk metal. The name ‘Kiuas’ is a Finnish word for ‘Sauna Stove’. Name for the band comes from the word ‘Hiidenkiuas’. All the band members are Nordic Pagans, which leads to many of their songs being about Paganistic gods, such as Ukko.
Before the formation of the band, three musicians (Markku Näreneva, Teemu Tuominen and Ilja Jalkanen) played in a band known as Iconofear, which played a dark heavy metal. They released a single EP before those three musicians left the band to concentrate on Kiuas. Kiuas was formed in 2000 when the four original members (Mikko Salovaara, Markku Näreneva, Teemu Tuominen and Atte Tanskanen) found a lead singer, Ilja Jalkanen.
In 2002, , they self-released their first demo called “The Discipline of Steel”, that featured four tracks, and was rooted deep in the mysticism and importance of steel, also it’s effect on Finnish culture. A year later, they were approached by a label with their release of “Born Under the Northern Lights” and also equipped a legion of underground fans and a deal with Rage of Achilles.
So in the year of 2004, Kiuas’s debut release on the label was completed. “Winter in June” was released on MCD. It combined the most extreme sub-genres of metal with hard rock, classical guitar, and old school metal.

Where are the thrash metal and death metal tags? ;( I couldn't only call Kiuas "power metal" because they blend in death and thrash metal, too. Listen to On Wings of Death We Ride from the album Spirit of Ukko and you will know. :P
