Absoluuttinen Nollapiste (Finnish for absolute zero) is a progressive rock band from Rovaniemi, Finland.[1][2] It is known for combining catchy melodies and solid, slightly progressive songwriting with Tommi Liimatta's eccentric lyrics.

Liimatta has numerous side projects with some of the band's current members, some ex-members and others. They publish their music under their own Diu Dau Tapes label. The most famous project is Ahkerat simpanssit, who released the album Tervehdys, Maan asukit in 2003.

History

[edit]

Absoluuttinen Nollapiste started in June 1991, when Liimatta was on his confirmation camp in Nuasjärvi, Sotkamo, when he had an idea of putting together a rock band. The members of the band, who all lived in the same neighborhood in Rovaniemi, were Liimatta (born in Kemi, 1976, vocals and wind instruments), Tomi Krutsin (born in Rovaniemi, 1976, drums) and Aki Lääkkölä (born in Rovaniemi, 1976, guitar and keyboards). They had had other groups before. The band's first bass guitarist, Matti Kettunen, was replaced in November 1991 by Aake Otsala (born in Kuopio, 1976) and, a year later, the second guitarist, Jukka Leinonen left the band. This line-up for about 7 years. Some time in 1999, Teemu Eskelinen joined the band as a backing vocalist.
