Nightwish, Children Of Bodom And More - Honored With Stamps
The Finns do it again, this time with metal stamps! A music-themed stamp sheet is set to be released in September designed by graphic artist Klaus Welp when the Finnish postal service, Posti, issues several new series of stamps. The rock and metal stamps were created to honor six Finnish bands that have achieved international success and they look pretty neat. The bands featured in the stamps are Hanoi Rocks, The Rasmus, HIM, Apocalyptica, Children Of Bodom and Nightwish.
Here is how the stamps will look like:
"For each stamp, I selected a band photo and a logotype that together resemble a band poster," says Klaus Welp, the graphic artist that designed the Million miles away sheet. The background of the sheet depicts the green room backstage in the legendary Tavastia rock club, which Welp describes as an archaeological treasure of Finnish rock 'n' roll.
Of course, Finland has other successful metal bands which could be featured as well.

---- First gig was Manowar (loincloths 'n' all), Bristol Colston Hall in March 1983, on the 'Hail to England' tour. Tickets were £3.75, 300 in the audience, Mercyful Fate never showed, but my hearing still got seriously trashed..

Uh, who is the President of Finland? Everything SAYS that it is Sauli Niinstö, but I get the feeling that it might actually be Nathan Explosion.

Written by The Evergreen on 20.04.2015 at 01:11 Nah, Nathan had one political experience, and it was not good... also last time he went to Finland he released a Troll... I think that if he were the president of Finland, the country would no longer exist :p Just saying...
