TENHI have listened to their many adherents that have long been clamouring for a new collection. The Finnish dark folk progenies make all their recordings from 1997 to 2023 available on 14 vinyl LPs in a limited hardcover slipcase box under the title Collected Works 2023. The material includes the latest full-length Valkama and most of the albums have been remastered. The box exists in two versions, one in black (Limited. 300) and the other in clear transparent (Limited. 200) vinyl. Both editions include 5 double-sided 30x30cm art-prints. 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), Airut: aamujen (2006), and Saivo (2011) to Valkama (2023). With each new release, 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 returned to a more song-oriented approach - even though the tracks retain an epic and meandering format. The glorious complete works of the Finnish dark folk pioneers are made available in the two stunning vinyl box editions: Collected Works 2023! Hardcover slipcase box incl.14 LPs (black vinyl in polylined inner sleeves) with all Tenhi recordings from 1997-2023 (mostly remastered) and 5 double-sided artprints (30x30cm).
