Voices from beyond are calling you
Graveyard Party gathers up electro-, industrial-, metal-, goth-, etc. fans to enjoy Finnish music and lifestyle for one night in December. GP was firstarranged in Kuopio, Finland 2006 and the second Party saw daylight in Helsinki a year after. Feedback from these happenings has been highly positive and as aresult of this, the vassals of the parties are launching the third GP in Helsinki, Finland.
This year's GP offers live shows by Turmion Kätilöt, Black Light Discipline, Dj Proteus, Vanity Beach, Alek Szahala, Dj Kärtsy Hatakka (Waltari), Dj aQi, DjTres, Dj Kaitsu (Schatten) and a couple of stunning extra acts. If we are fortunate enough, some naughty extras can also be served for dessert.
Interior decoration is playing a great role as usually and this December a totally new club, Dark Floor, will be built inside Graveyard Party. Also the oldscenes; Graveyard (main stage) and Watchtower (dj-tower), will have a massive facelift.
Another big addition in this year’s arrangements is the Grave Lounge, which offers a little more luxury for a few people, who want to enjoy the party in theVIP-area. Only 30 VIP-tickets are for sale, so be sharp, be smart and make your decision in time!
Graveyard Party’s own lifestyle show appears as a part of the party again, as was seen the first year. There will be the hottest clothing and accessoriesfrom our collaborators and stylish models pimped up by our Graveyard Specialists.
It would be wise to take some cash with you because there are a lot of possibilities to get some shopping done. An easy way to get the last minute Christmaspresents, don’t you think?

Turmion Kätilöt
Turmion Kätilöt (english: midwives of destruction) is an Industrial Metal band which was formed in 2003 by MC Raaka Pee and Dj Vastapallo, who were alreadytaking a part of another band called Ancient Drive.
Later on, they were joined by the other members of what should become Turmion Kätilöt: Master Bates, RunQ, and DQ. At the end of 2004 MC Raaka Pee and DJVastapallo, presented Spellgoth, an artist they knew thanks to his bands Trollheim's Grott and Slave's Mask, the two very first songs of their newproject.
Besides, Turmion Kätilöt is a band that is not in the least afraid of attention. In fact, their shows are not only numerous, but also quite impressive. Andit's exactly that, which the band does owe a great deal of their success to, because these stage fanatics cause a lot of talk about them with their shows inwhich they do not hesitate to throw in scenes of self-mutilation, simulated flagellation and even a bit of sex. And even though Spellgoth is not involved incomposing the music, he is a very important member for the band, because it's him who performs the great majority of said shockers.
Turmion Kätilöt have quite a particular style: Many electronic sounds contrast against a rough, growling singing voice in finnish, hard riffs and drums thatfeature an indefatigable and merciless hammering. An original sound reminding one a bit of early Rammstein during their first albums Herzeleid and Sehnsucht,though in a complete heavier fashion.
Concerning the lyrics, one will find the ever same topics discussed: Sex, S/M, death, religion, satanism (religion), medics, politics, madness, war,suffering... Their lyrics are pretty solid, though. They are often rather cryptic and hard to interpret, while the general atmosphere is rather dark...
