This year, the Finnish band got it exactly right. You can’t even accuse them of being some sort of overnight corporate entity. Breakthrough album ‘Dead Letters’ is their fifth, and like lead single ‘In The Shadows’, it turned out to be a runaway success. The Rasmus have been working towards this for years, and thoroughly deserve the fruits of their long labour…their overwhelming commercial success throughout Europe will ensure they remain major players in 2005.”
Kerrang Yearbook, December 2004

Last year was a remarkable year for four young men from Helsinki. After 11 years together as a band, and each still only 24 years old, they finally captured Europe with the release of their fifth studio album, ‘Dead Letters’. With over a million and a half copies sold worldwide, eight Gold and five Platinum Awards, and Top 10 placings in eleven countries for their signature anthem ‘In The Shadows’, which was the No.1 Most Played Video on MTV Europe, THE RASMUS had finally made it.
