I really don't know who he is/was but any musician that dies is a tragedy.

RIP

Rest in peace Teemu! You were a great guitar player!
Such a shame, you were so looking forward to tour with Katatonia in Europe this year....

Finntroll has a curse upon them...this is horrible news for their fans. RIP Somnium...

 

[Greenwater_Pond]

Finntroll just finished their last album about a week ago I think, and Teemu was commenting on it just 2 days ago.... That's really unfortunate that this had to happen, condolensces to those who knew him.

 

[lumen]

that sucks!

 

[golgotha85]

How did it happen?!

 

[egaga]

He jumped off a bridge. I heard it on a finnish game-forum. I've never listened to Finntroll, but it's always a tragedy when a musician dies .

 

[egaga]

That information I gave wasn't truthful.
Here is a text from the official Finntroll forum:
"Teemu "Somnium" Raimoranta (born 19.5.1977), the guitar player of both Finntroll and Impaled Nazarene, died in Helsinki on Sunday the 16th of March in an alcohol-related falling accident."

Sorry for misleading you. I had to correct.

I wonder how many people will be getting plastered at his memorial gig.

 

[ouagadougou]

EEh that sucks

I wonder how many people will be getting plastered at his memorial gig.

Probably not many. I guess his mother requested they not serve alcohol at the gig.

Probably not many. I guess his mother requested they not serve alcohol at the gig.

How will Miika function? It'll be a boring IN for sure!

 

[Jim LotFP]

Probably not many. I guess his mother requested they not serve alcohol at the gig.

Ah, OK. Hadn't heard this yet, but I'm glad someone had the sense to think of it.
