Background notes
Archive material and source history
Raate formed in Oulu in 2008 as a quartet. They released their self-titled debut album in 2010, followed by 'Suo' in 2012. Their sound has been described as a mix of melancholic folk, atmospheric rock, and electronic elements, heard on tracks like 'Halki Kuolleen Maan' and 'Tulen Laulu'.
In 2014, the single 'Aamu Koittaa' brought them wider attention, leading to an album of the same name. They've since put out 'Syvyys' in 2018. The band's lineup has changed over time, with current members including Pyry Rajala on vocals and guitar, Niko Rajala on drums, Tuomas Yli-Jaskari on bass, and Antti Halonen on keyboards and vocals.
Raate has collaborated with other Finnish artists like Apocalyptica and Sonata Arctica. Their performances at the 2019 'Freedom of Speech Festival' drew some criticism, though the band distanced themselves from the event's political associations.
