其实tenhi的音乐跟金属没多大关系，不过他们签的却是德国empyrium所在的金属厂牌Prophecy Productions。
人们将tenhi描述成为黑暗的 充满氛围的 有着沉思特质的民歌音乐 伴随着用芬兰语吐出的忧伤旋律 箱琴无时无刻不在延续着它们的魔力 令人抗拒地被它冰冷而深情的划拨带至极北的那片白色王国.... 交替的歌声时而如在远方空中徊响 时而又似于耳边低语 但不变的是它们的宁静 和这些北方之子似乎与生俱来的那悲剧气质 为了配合整体音乐的情绪 tenhi 在这张专辑中恰如其分地使用了小提琴 长笛和大三角钢琴等古典乐器 天然流畅 这是很奇妙的过程 如果你说感到雾气开始抚摸你的肌肤 如果你看到小溪有流水潺潺 如果你闻到森林传出的清新 那么我知道你已经真的进入了tenhi的边界...芬兰有着千湖之国的美誉 无数的优秀音乐也无愧于这称号.. 这是一幕最杰出的寒冷冬夜的音响写照 如果你曾梦回过那片笼罩雾气和冰封的土地 如果你于冬暮时分也会被感动 那么这张唱片也许是你必须聆听的....
Tenhi仿佛一直在一条阴暗道路上前行的旅人，忧郁、脆弱而又敏感，大自然的一切变化在他们眼中都带着那么一丝伤感。

the Escape
Tenhi is a journey. Our music is mainly composed to be a voyage thru different landscapes and feelings. In a way the music is scenery painting. A song is like a canvas for a painting — instruments are like brushes to draw a vision for inner eyes to see. We use instruments freely to achieve the wanted feeling to a song; there is no right way of playing. It is the feel of it that counts.
The songs are not autobiographical in the traditional sense. They are not directly written from a specific point in our lives portraying a moment or a story that could be unraveled to a listener in a way that it would make sense.
the Work
The inspiration comes from small pieces and fragments of music and art. Such fragments could be for example a memory, melody, voice, picture, word or a view. Sometimes a misheard fragment of melody springs a new idea, which after a while turns into a song. Some of our compositions have got their initial inspiration from a painting.
Usually one of the members brings the main idea for the band to develop. It is quite seldom that songs are composed through jamming sessions although a lot of our material is improvised during recording sessions. We often write things that even we don't understand immediately. Creating usually happens first on a subconscious level. Thus far there has not been formed a procedure for us for composing music — every song has its own way of appearing into our lives.
Melancholia
We have a big heart for melancholia — sadness is beautiful. The blue side of life is where we are as persons and as artists. The music also reflects our introversion.
Finland, Finnish and Folk
The Finnish language represents the Finnish mentality best. Our music has its roots in the Finnish folk music so using Finnish language to reflect our feelings and mental landscapes is obvious to us. However, the folk elements in Tenhi are indirect. We try to interpret them in our own way. With using folk elements we want to give certain timelessness and feel of our native land's beauty.
Nature
The greatest inspiration for us is nature. It is an endless source of amazement and beauty. We try to achieve the same kind of timelessness that is present there. In nature things are in the purest of forms.
We compare our album Maaäet to an autumnal forest. It was its feel that we aimed for when we were creating the music. Life slowly fleeing from everywhere, fatalism, acceptance, gentle fall to sleep, turning towards an end of a cycle, giving energy back to earth — giving it to be a seed of new life.
Aesthetic
Music and visual arts together form the concept of Tenhi. For us they are inseparable for achieving the whole experience we are aiming at. During the composing the visual context is a guide for us and it works as a window from where the themes are captured. As we create the album covers ourselves we set the final frames for the musical canvas.
For example the cover of the album Airut:Aamujen represents the core of the album. The portrait is a mental passage away from this place. The black stain curling around the girl's head could be an extension or a reflection of mind — an idea emerging from the subconscious. It could however be read as a death metaphor, the spirit leaving the body.
