Sapattivuosi is a Finnish Black Sabbath tribute band singing in Finnish. The band was initiated as a project by vocalist Hannu Paloniemi, drummer Simo Vehmas, and guitarist Janne Halmkrona (also of CMX). Sapattivuosi's first two albums covered songs from the Ozzy Osbourne era.[1] Then vocalist Paloniemi left the band. He was replaced by Marko Hietala, known from bands such as Nightwish, Tarot and Northern Kings.[2] Hietala first appeared with Sapattivuosi on their single Pelon lait (a cover of Neon Knights), which came out on 4 March 2009. The band's third full-length album, Ihmisen merkki, also covers songs from Black Sabbath's Ronnie James Dio era. It was released on 1 April 2009.
All three Sapattivuosi albums made the Finnish charts, with two making the top ten.[3] At least two singles have also spent weeks at #4 on the charts.[2][3]
