Metal Mass
Metal Mass (in Finnish, Metallimessu) is a heavy metal music service of worship. In it the traditional hymns are adapted to heavy metal style, following a Lutheran service pattern. As reported by ''The Washington Times'' and ''AFP'', it has become a popular phenomenon in Finland, drawing hundreds of people, especially youth, to church, since it was first held in 2006.〔〔 An album based on the service, ''Metallimessu'', peaked at number 12 on the Finnish album chart, and has been on the Top 40 Chart for three weeks.〔(Various Artists - Metallimessu ) Finnish Album Chart〕 Several known Finnish heavy metal musicians have participated on the musical side of the service and the album.
==History==
The concept of Metal Mass was thought up by five metal fans, three of whom worked at a church (pastors Haka Kekäläinen and Jukka Valkama and youth worker Mikko Saari) and the other two being musicians (Markus Korri and Juhani Palttala), after a 2005 seminar on the relationship of Church and heavy metal music. They gathered a team for service and began working on arrangements. The first Metal Mass was held around the time of the annual Tuska Open Air Metal Festival, June 29, 2006, in Temppeliaukio Church. Taage Laiho of the hard rock band Kilpi, was the lead singer in that Metal Mass. The service was reportedly a success, with 300 people being left out because of safety reasons.〔
The team founded an organization for the service, ''Metallimessu ry'', and between 2007 and 2008 the Metal Mass was held in several major cities in Finland with different workgroup line-ups. The service drew hundreds of people each time.〔http://metallimessu.com/〕
On August 26, 2008, the ''Metallimessu'' album was released, and the songs and interludes follow the pattern of the service. On the album, guest vocalists for the hymns include Taage Laiho (Kilpi), Ville Tuomi (Suburban Tribe), Tanja (Lullacry), Tuomas Nieminen (Adamantra), Juhani Muhonen (Sorrowind) and Heikki Pöyhiä (Twilightning).
