Juhani Palomäki, the main force behind Colosseum and Yearning has passed away.
While not directly Kolony Records artists, we were in talks to release something with him in some distant future.

Message from band members

R.I.P. Juhani Palomäki (1977 - 2010)

Juhani Palomäki’s musical career, including the composition of eight full-length albums for Yearning and Colosseum, has ended as he was found deceased on Saturday May 15th 2010. His final composition, Colosseum’s recently recorded third album, Chapter 3: Parasomnia, shall be released as planned, in order to honour Juhani’s memory. This also marks the end of Colosseum as a band, but Juhani’s musical genius and artistic integrity shall nevertheless forever live on, both on his records and in our hearts. We have lost a brilliant musician and a true friend, who will be greatly missed not only by us, but by his loved ones and countless people all around the world who have been touched by his art.

Farewell, Juhani. May you rest in peace.

Olli, Janne, Sameli
