First formed in the year 2000, Finland's the Mist and the Morning Dew weave a dreamlike mesh of folk and gothic heavy metal. Their eponymous mini-CD emerged five years later, by which time the group consisted of Veera Muhli (vocals), Jarno Salomaa (acoustic and lead guitars), Mikael Karlbom (rhythm guitar), Jaakko Lemmetty (violin), A. Tolonen (kantele), Sami Uusitalo (bass), and Henri Tuomi (drums). ~ Eduardo Rivadavia
