Kivimetsän Druidi

Kivimetsän Druidi, or KmD, was a Finnish folk metal band founded in 2002. "Kivimetsän Druidi" is Finnish for "druid of the stone forest". KmD originally started as a two-man project by the Koskinen brothers. Lead guitarist and vocalist Joni Koskinen's biggest influence has been Moonsorrow, though each band member has their own personal influences. Their lyrics are based on the fantasy novel that Joni Koskinen is writing. The novel tells a story from The Land of the Crystal Mountain and Stone Forest. After releasing numerous demos and EPs, Kivimetsän Druidi eventually signed a record deal with Century Media in 2008. The debut album titled Shadowheart was released in October 2008. All the band's EPs and demos were self-released.
