Adolpha-Street Team:


Hello all Adolpha fans in Finland and around the world! You may be asking yourself, what exactly IS a Street Team?...Basically the purpose of a Street Team is to help a spesific band - in this case, Adolpha - finding connections around the country and share information about anything related to the band. We're looking for reliable people who can help when it's needed! So, if you think you can help us, or if you want a team for your own country, write to us (Adolpha).

Ja lyhyesti suomeksi. Street Team on joukko faneja, jotka auttavat bändin promotoimisessa. Jos olet kiinnostunut liittymään porukkaan, ota yhteyttä.

IMPORTANT!! If you would like to start a Adolpha- Street Team in your country, please contact us (Adolpha). NO team is going to be created without previous request and approval from the band. That means you're NOT allowed to use this layout, neither create a page using the Adolpha's name.

Adolpha Biography:

Heavy guitar riffs, atmospheric, pompous and dark keyboard parts, catchy melodies, unique vocals and dramatic guitarsolos. Those are Adolpha's trademarks.

Adolpha (noble shewolf) was formed in 2004 by Annika Kainulainen (vocals) and Sami Rönkkö (guitars), in a small city called Iisalmi, Finland. Sauli Lämsä (keys) joined the band later at the same year. At that time Adolpha still had their former drummer and bass player.
At first Adolpha was a coverband, playing different metal coversongs you can think of. But after 2 years of coverplaying, members eventually got bored just playing others bands music. They wanted to 'Unleash Their Inner Beast' and create something of their own, something heavy, atmospheric, melodic metal in dark vein... The Adolpha was born.

Sami Rönkkö started writing first demosongs in January 2006. During the songwriting process, bandmembers came and went. The bassplayer and drummer had their other interests, so they unfortunately left the band. They didn't have the same passion for music, like Sami, Annika and Sauli had. Luckily this wasn't the end of Adolpha's story. Sauli Lämsä is also an awesome drummer and Sami Rönkkö can play also bass. So the "Darkness Within"- demo was recorded in a group of three.
All 4 demosongs were ready in August and after arranging them, recordings started in September.
After many difficulties, delays and setbacks, recordings were finally over in December 2006.

After that Sami Rönkkö contacted Janne Tolsa, ( a keyboard master from TAROT, ETERNAL TEARS OF SORROW and TURMION KÄTILÖT) about the mastering process. Luckily Janne was kind enough and had the time before upcoming "Crows Over Germany"- Tarot tour, and the Adolpha's "Darkness Within"- demo was mastered by him at NoteOn studio in Kuopio.

The future seems quite bright for Adolpha, the band is writing new songs like hell, a bit heavier and darker stuff but in Adolpha style...
STAY TUNED!
