About Me
MARKO PUKKILA - bass player, songwriter, engineer, producer
Marko Pukkila is a bassplayer and a songwriter from Finland. He is the former bass player of the finnish melodic metal band Altaria (www.altariamusic.com). He released three studio albums and one compilation with Altaria. All albums were released worldwide. They also toured Europe with Sonata Arctica and Doro and played big festivals in Germany, Belgium and Finland. Pukkila left Altaria in the end of 2007 and started writing music for other artists. He has written music for movies and soundtracks and also done recordings for different Tribute and compilation albums.
In 2005 Pukkila was also working with ex-Dio guitarist Rowan Robertson on a new hard rock band. The band was called Wicked Outlaw. They have plans to tour the U.S and release an album in the future. Pukkila also worked with Robertson in 2005 performing on tracks for a David Lee Roth Tribute Album Titled "Just Like Paradise: A Tribute To Diamond David Lee Roth". Pukkila and Robertson also worked with former Black Sabbath drummer Vinny Appice on this album.
In 2006 Pukkila had a project called Neverday together with Jani Liimatainen (Sonata Arctica, Cains Suffering) and Andy Engberg (Lions Share). They only wrote a few songs together and recorded one demo. You can listen to the songs here: www.mikseri.net/neverday
In 2007 Pukkila had written a lot of songs that he didnt really have much use for. So he teamed up with Janne Hurme (Human Temple) to work on the songs and record them. Then Pukkila asked his good friend Jani Liimatainen if he would like to play guitar on the demo. Liimatainen really liked the songs so they started to write new songs. That was the beginning of Dream Asylum. You can listen to some songs here: www.mikseri.net/dream_asylum Dream Asylum is currently looking for a record deal.
In 2008 Pukkila formed a new band called Fallout Moon. The band is currently writing material for their debut album. Check out Fallout Moon..s homepage www.falloutmoon.com
