[编辑] 樂團歷史

The Rasmus(雷斯魔)成立於1994年末，當時樂團成員都還在高中，最初團名為Sputnik，然後是Antilla，接著是Rasmus(一個沒有特殊意義的北歐男子名)。他們錄製了第一張單曲"1st"(1995年透過Teja G. Records獨立發行)之後於Warner Music Finland旗下發行第一張專輯Peep，此時樂團成員都才十六歲，本專輯成為暢銷金曲，同時樂團也在芬蘭和愛沙尼亞演出一百多場。於1996年獲得芬蘭的Emma音樂獎最佳新人。1997年他們發行了第二張專輯Playboys，此張專輯和單曲"Blue"一起成為芬蘭暢銷金曲。他們繁忙的現場演出行程包含跟隨Rancid和Dog Eat Dog以及在Helsinki Olympic Stadium舉行的的音樂節。

Rasmus released their second album, Playboys, in 1997. This record also went gold in Finland, with the single "Blue". Rasmus' gruelling live schedule included supporting Rancid and Dog Eat Dog and appearing at a Festival on the Helsinki Olympic Stadium. The band would also win a Finnish Grammy Award for "Best New Artist" in 1996.

The band's third album, Hell of a Tester, was released in 1998 with a video for the single "Liquid". It made regular appearances on Nordic MTV. This song was voted Song of the Year by Finnish music critics. The band achieved further recognition supporting Garbage and Red Hot Chili Peppers when they toured Finland.

Rasmus became The Rasmus in 2000, after replacing drummer Janne Heiskanen with drumming merchandise-seller Aki Hakala. In 2001, they released the album Into, which went double platinum in Finland, debuting at #1. The first single "F-F-F-Falling" was #1 in Finland for three months in early 2001. The second single, "Chill", was released in Scandinavia and reached #2 in Finland. The Rasmus toured throughout Scandinavia and Europe, promoting the album, and being the supporting acts to bands HIM and Roxette.

The band recorded Dead Letters in 2003 at Nord Studios in Sweden, reuniting with Mikael Nord Andersson and Martin Hansen who had produced Into. It was released in Europe in early 2003, reaching the top of the album charts in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, as well as in Finland. Its European success led to the release of the album in other parts of the world. Dead Letters went Top 10 in the UK, and its first single, "In the Shadows", went Top 3. Both also went Top 50 in the Australian ARIA charts in 2004, as well as topping the New Zealand singles chart. The single also reached the top 20 of the American Billboard Heatseeker charts. "Guilty" was the band's second single for the American market. Recently, iTunes Music Store offered the second track on Dead Letters, "In the Shadows", as one of its free singles.

The Rasmus tend to provoke strong opinions in people. They made a notable appearance at the Reading Festival in 2004, where they were a victim of bottling, being pelted with plastic bottles and mud until they eventually walked offstage, immediate medical attention being required for bassist Eero's eye.

The Rasmus also are a part of a three-band community called Dynasty, alongside modern rockers Killer and hip-hop band Kwan. Dynasty also have a studio in Helsinki, where they recruit new Finnish talent. Band members Pauli and Lauri flaunt their loyalty to Dynasty by sporting identical tattoos on their arms.

Their newest album is Hide From The Sun, which was released in 2005. Three singles have been released from it: "No Fear", "Sail Away" and "Shot".

On April 28, 2006 they received an exclusive statue at the ESKA Music Awards in Poland (it is their second ESKA statue, the first being in 2004) for the category Best World Rock Group. Their most famous song is "In The Shadows".

Hide From The Sun was released in the U.S. on October 10 2006 from their new U.S. label, DRT Entertainment.
