Entwine
Entwine is a Finnish gothic metal band formed in 1995. The band was originally founded as a death metal act but later shifted to a more melodic and gothic style. Entwine is known for their melancholic sound and emotional lyrics.
History[edit | edit source]
Entwine was formed in Lahti, Finland, by guitarist Tom Mikkola, drummer Aksu Hanttu, and bassist Tero "Tepi" Kallio. Initially, the band played death metal, but they soon decided to change their musical direction to gothic metal. In 1997, Pasi Hanttu joined the band as a second guitarist, and Joni Miettinen replaced Tero Kallio on bass.
In 1998, Entwine released their debut album, The Treasures Within Hearts. The album received positive reviews and helped the band gain a following in the Finnish metal scene. Their second album, Gone, was released in 2001 and marked a significant shift towards a more polished and melodic sound.
