Twilightning

Twilightning was a Finnish power metal band from Imatra, which formed in 1998. They disbanded in June 2009.

==Biography== Twilightning formed in 1998, consisting of guitarists Tommi Sartanen and Ville Wallenius, bassist Jussi Kainulainen, and drummer Juha Leskinen, with Tommi also on vocals. After releasing their first demo in 1999, they were joined by keyboardist Mikko Naukkarinen. Following the release of their second demo in 2001, Heikki Pöyhiä joined as lead singer. With this reinforced lineup, they release a third demo, which demonstrated their strong influence from 1980s heavy metal. Thanks to the interest this stirred, the group signed to Spinefarm Records, releasing their debut Delirium Veil in 2003, which drew comparisons to Edguy, Stratovarius, and Sonata Arctica. They followed that up by releasing Plague-House Puppet Show in 2004, and the EP Bedlam in 2006. Shortly after the release of Bedlam, Mikko Naukkarinen left the band.
