The Rasmus are a Finnish rock band that formed in 1994 in Helsinki while the band members were still in high school. The original band members were Lauri Ylönen (lead singer/songwriter), Eero Heinonen (bass), Pauli Rantasalmi (guitar) and Janne Heiskanen (drums). The former drummer Heiskanen quit the band in 1998 and was soon replaced by Aki Hakala. Before releasing their fourth studio album Into (2001), they were simply known as Rasmus, but changed their name to The Rasmus in order to avoid being confused with a Swedish DJ of the same name. Their 2003 hit "In the Shadows" made them famous worldwide. The band is one of Finland's most successful bands with more than 1.5 million sold albums worldwide, eight gold awards and five platinum awards. They have released six studio albums, one compilation album and 21 singles. Some of the band's most famous songs are the singles "Liquid", "F-F-F-Falling", "In the Shadows", "First Day of My Life", "Funeral Song" , "No Fear" and "Sail Away" The name of the band: The name "Rasmus" does not actually mean anything; the band have said in interviews that they chose it because it sounds Finnish and it is easy to remember. However, bassist Eero Heinonen said in a Swedish interview that it came from the words "trash" and "mosh". In Norway, Sweden and Denmark "Rasmus" is a boy name. It was the ex-drummer Janne Heiskanen who came up with the name. Band name logos: Following logos have been used for The Rasmus. The first one from Peep to Hell of a Tester (thought Hel of a Tester didn't have a certain logo) when the band were named just "Rasmus", the second one only for Into and the third one from Dead Letters to present.
