A three-piece band from Helsinki, Finland, Kometa has been around with the current line up for almost ten years. So far they have played many times in Estonia and Russia. In 2007 they made their second week-long tour in Germany, and of course over 200 gigs around Finland (e.g. Provinssirock and Ilosaarirock, some of the biggest festivals in Finland), making new hardcore fans everywhere they go. Energetic and razor sharp, Kometa is ’universally’ acknowleged as an amazing live band.
Drawing from a vast array of influences, the music itself has inspired such far-fetched comparisons as ’Black Sabbath meets The Beatles’, but the band members refuse to be categorized. Instead they let the live shows and records do the talking.
”Gravy” was the title of their debut five-song CD-EP, released in January 2003 .
March 2005 came out their full-length debut album “Like a Light Bulb” featuring 12 songs. Album was released by legendary indie label Bad Vugum. The CD has duly won rave reviws in the Finnish music press.
And finally February 2008 it´s time for another outstanding Kometa-album. “A Strange Revelation” is released by MEGAMANIA /JOHANNA KUSTANNUS , which is one of the biggest and oldest indie labels in Finland.
