Sarcofagus was one of the first heavy metal bands from Finland.
Sarcofagus (Sarcophagus LTD) was founded in 1977. The band's frontman Kimmo Kuusniemi stated in the documentary film Promised Land of Heavy Metal that Finland in the early 1980s was not prepared for heavy metal. For the album Moottorilinnut, the band was forced to use the name Kimmo Kuusniemi Band, because they were not allowed to use the name Sarcophagus.
They broke up in 2020. [1] [2] Kimmo later started to work as a professional filmmaker. He has produced and directed hundreds of international films from TV commercials to music videos, from Vader to Madonna. He also composed movie soundtracks.
