When night falls onto the sub-arctic landscapes of the Land of the Thousand Lakes, in the twilight of forest and swamps, the veils between our reality and the otherworld grow thin. It is at those times that stories such as 'the fairy tale that never was' leak into the lyrics and music of TENHI. On their sixth album, "Valkama", which translates as 'harbour' or 'shelter' among other meanings, the Finns originally began telling of a journey that was meant as a fairy tale in a burning, war-torn village and the crossing over dark waters to an island of the dead. The island is called Verisurma ('the place for those who have suffered blood-death') in Finnish folklore, where those dwell that died in war or were killed with a blade, and who shed blood on its shore forever. Yet, during the ten years that TENHI were working on the album, our reality started to bleed into the otherworld with its own terrors and wars. Year after year, the musicians felt their story becoming more and more real until the point was reached that the band decided to change course. Although echoes of the original work are still audible in the final music and visible in the artwork, the album now feels more harmonious and comforting, even brighter. TENHI could hardly have picked a more suitable band-name. This old Finnish word means a person that is an 'elder' or 'shaman'. And while the shamans of the ancient nomadic Finns are the guardians against but also the mediators between their communities and the spirit world, TENHI are their musical equivalent as a liminal force between dark folk, folk rock, and even reaching out into the normally electrified world of metal. The latter invites comparison with WARDRUNA and HEILUNG, although in a spiritual meaning and certainly not by way of a stylistic comparison. TENHI were conceived by guitarist and vocalist Tyko Saarikko in 1996. Ilmari Issakainen joined the band a few years later. Together they form the creative core of the group. After self-releasing the demo "Kertomuksia" (1997) and the MCD "Hallavedet" (1998), the Finns immediately hit a nerve with their debut full-length "Kauan" in 1999. TENHI started into the new millennium with another MCD entitled "Airut:ciwi" (2000), which was followed by a string of albums from "Väre" (2002) via "Maaäet" (2006) and "Airut:aamujen" (2006) to "Saivo" (2011). With each new album, the Finns continued to grow a dedicated following that is coming from different musical directions. From the start, TENHI have combined acoustic instrumentation and a traditional vibe with structures based on contemporary rock music. While their previous full-length "Saivo" tilted more towards an ambient-style and panoramic soundtrack feeling, "Valkama" returns to a more song-oriented approach – even though the tracks retain an epic and meandering format. "Valkama" comes with the trademark Finnish longing and melancholia, but despite its audible darkness, TENHI offer a musical outlet from the horrors of the modern world. In the twilight world of the North, "Valkama" is the silver-lining on the horizon promising shelter and peace.

Another masterpiece

There have been comfortingly few changes in Tenhi since their last album "Väre"; this Finnish band is still performing its unique brand of nature music, music that is above all atmospheric and touching.
But there's a lot more to it: for years now, the musicians have been stressing the meaning of the aesthetics beyond their compositions, as Tenhi is meant to be a reflection of their sensitive perception of nature, not only in sound, but also in lyrics and pictures. Maybe a pictorial comparison can help to understand Tenhi's development. "Our new songs are run through by our perception of the Earth," multi-instrumentalist Tyko Saarikko tells us. "Our gaze isn't directed towards the horizon anymore, but towards the soil beneath our feet and the nature in our immediate surroundings." Musically, vocals, piano, and violin are clearly
mixed to the fore, giving "Maaäet" a more immediate expression. This picturesque character is mirrored in symbolic images that have been specifically created for the twelve new tracks, adding a fairy-tale quality to the whole work of art. "This album is much more personal, much darker than its predecessors," says the versatile musician who associates "Maaäet" with "the smell of a forest ground covered in autumn leaves". The band allows single melodies enough space to unfold a deep capacity for
fascination, dismissing all superficial questions of styles or genres.
The Finnish lyrics are also very profound, weaving around motifs such as retreat, vulnerability, esoteric moods, and nature mysticism.
Whatever name you'd like to put on Tenhi's manifold creative undertakings -- the band members themselves describe it as Folk-influenced progressive music --, with "Maaäet", they succeeded in crafting a warm-hearted deepening of their music.
Musically, vocals, piano, and violin are clearly mixed to the fore, giving "Maaäet" a more immediate expression. This

Tenhi - Kauan from 9.59 $

Thu, 25 Jun 2026 02:00:11 +0200

The highly regarded debut of the Finns

The first complete Tenhi album “Kauan“ contains calm and solemn songs, which – typically for Tenhi – trepan inevitably into contemplation and prepare an ease of mind.
Even on an sunny winter-afternoon melancholy arises, although hopeful parts appear and show us through all this fog, that there’s still light and hope.

Tracklist:
1. Näkin Laulu / The Chant Of Näkki
2. Huomen / Morrow
3. Revontulet / Northern Lights
4. Hallavedet / The Glacial Waters
5. Etäisyyksien Taa / Beyond Distances
6. Lauluni Sinulle / Mavourneen's Song
7. Taival / Straying
8. Soutu / Drift

Tenhi - Saivo from 9.59 $

Wed, 08 Jul 2026 00:50:10 +0200

This-worldly sorrow and other-worldly joy

The long gestation period of "Saivo" (four years) shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone who knows and treasures Tenhi's modus operandi. The Finnish musicians follow their vision mercilessly down to the smallest minutiae, which means that all of the songs have seen various arrangements and the adding of new elements until all the details of the album fit into the overall picture. On "Saivo", Tenhi use a largely consistent instrumentation to inform the tracks with cohesion and unison. Guitar and piano are the predominant instruments; at times, they are supplemented by percussion, strings, and polyphonic vocals, all in order to create a melancholic realm of sound characterised by this-worldly sorrow and other-worldly joy. The result is an album that is introverted in the truest sense of the word: just as it is believed that Saivo, the realm of the dead, may only be reached by an access under ambiguous lakes and that the journey leads to a mirror image of this world, Tenhi's "Saivo" also looks to the inner realms.

The album is available as:
- Limited portrait format Digipak CD incl. exhanced 32 page booklet
- Limited artbook CD/DVD, size 28x28 cm, 60 pages incl. bonus DVD with "Saivo" in extremly high audio quality (96 khz/ 24bit). Limited to 1.000 copies.
- Vinyl 2LP (black 140g vinyl) incl. printed inner sleeves and protection sleeve (500 copies available)

Thu, 25 Jun 2026 00:50:03 +0200

The "Airut" saga goes on

Merely eight months after their studio album 'Maaäet', Tenhi presented the piano-dominated 'Airut:Aamujen', the next chapter in the band's own 'Airut' saga in autumn 2006. The album is the sequel to Tenhi's 'Airut:Ciwi' EP (2001), especially to the track 'Kielo'. It was originally released in a small limited edition through Tenhi's own Utustudio label in December 2004 under the name Harmaa.
After signing this project to Auerbach Tonträger / Prophecy Productions as well, we wanted to re-release it under the name of TENHI and so bring the saga back together.”

The second album by the unique Tenhi

You just want to close your eyes and enjoy the moment. On their second album, Tenhi once again take the listener into the endless depths of Lapland. However, the development of the band is clear to hear. The pieces are more diverse, combining the atmospheric, partly rocky moments of their debut album "Kauan" with the shamanistic sounds of their mini CD "airut:ciwi". "Väre" creates images before your mind's eye ... pictures of unspoiled country-sides and deep forests far away from civilisation...
