About Me

Take me away
Bury me in the sand
Cause after all these years I am still the same
A sad and bitter man

Crush my hope, grow my hate
There's no home for me
Nothing to give, nothing to say
So tell me it's a dream

Lost in Despair
I appreciate very much if you waste some time for reading my About Me section. Thanks!

My About me -section keeps growing and growing, but it doesn't mind me at all. I'm not that selfish that you think, I only love writing. I write daily, but unfortunately not in english (if you don't count Last.fm).

The short version: I love metal, and music in general. I also like new music, new people, statistics. That's why I'm here in Last.fm. Now I feel I could not listen music without Last.fm.

The long version: Keep reading...

I love comments! I see lots of people visiting in my profile. What is so interesting here? Please leave a comment already.

I accept friend requests as long as I know you from somewhere special or in real life. So please do not bother if you haven't met me before, you only think my music is cool, or I just seem an interesting person. I get lots of unreasonable requests already.

I'm one of those who honor the original last.fm account and does not make a new one or reset because "this is not my accurate music taste any longer". You can view charts by last seven days which is enough for me. Depending my fascination and interest, it takes very long or short time to bands/artist to get to top 50, so best way to get my current taste view charts by last 7 days first and afterwards the overall.

They say 8 out of 10 great metal bands are from Finland. Well, I'm from cold north Finland so I guess I fucking own. My hometown and current location is Jyväskylä, the proud city of Swallow the Sun and Soulfallen.

So, this is me Rolle who has diverse taste in music, but practically is all metal listener. Metal is definitely my favourite genre, but I'm quite openminded when it comes to music. I also tend to make music (piano/instrumental/electronic/ambient), listen some of my songs on my page. My beloved wife mustikkasoppa listens metal as well. I'm a happy father of one.

Pop is a good genre, but metal is better. Andy Xiong's power metal -remix of Katy Perry's I Kissed A Girl proves it totally! Listen it out and be amazed!

Musical history

It was 1998 or something when I first fell in love with metal (at the same time I started playing classic piano, later acoustic and electric guitar). Of course back in the days it wasn't so "heavy" at first. My metal-habits didn't start first with classic 80s bands like Iron Maiden, no, I started with Nu Metal (I think it was more hard rock at that time), with bands like Blindside and P.O.D..

It is obvious that I was a bit more religious than today, so it influenced a bit with my choose of artists. Later my metal taste got distracted by electronic genres like trance. After 2003 I started listening metal as my main genre. To this day I've been extending my metal knowledge to thousands of metal bands, and growing...
