Short history

Rippikoulu, a Finnish metal band, was formed in 1990. Back then
Rippikoulu was a punk band, but after a few of the band
members changed Rippikoulu began to play more metal. Rippikoulu
played music which is difficult to define. There are some influences from
gothic-, death- and heavymetal.

Our two studiodemos (1992,1993) were sold worldwide.

In 1995 one Rippikoulu band member died, and with him the whole band.
The guitarist of the band, Marko Henriksson died 1.1.1995, and Rippikoulu
took a two year break for the memory of Marko. We tried to made some comebacks,
but the band wasn`t the same without Marko.

We will never
play together again. We loved our Rippikoulu times, but this is life !
