Stam1na celebrated the first two decades of their career with the 2005-2006 Skargelin Karkelot tour, during which they performed exclusively songs from their debut album Kadonneet Klome Sanaa and Uudet Kymmenen Käskyä. For the occasion, our reporter Cristina had the opportunity to chat with bass player Kai-Pekka “Kaikka” Kangasmäki and look back at the band’s career, which began in 1996 and saw them explode onto the Finnish metal music scene in 2005.
What’s the secret to such a solid lineup? How has the songwriting process changed over the years? What advice would you give to new bands starting out today? These are just some of the questions you will find answers to in this video interview.
