Noumena is a Melodic Death Metal band from Ähtäri, Finland, formed in 1998. The band's name comes from the word noumenon, a philosophical term used by Immanuel Kant. It consists of five members: vocalist Antti Haapanen, guitarists Tuukka Tuomela and Ville Lamminaho, bass guitarist Hannu Savolainen and drummer Ilkka Unnbom. The roots of Noumena's music may be found in the Scandinavian death metal tradition and 1980s heavy metal. After two demo tapes and few gigs the band made a record deal with a Singaporean label on summer 1999. Read more on Last.fm
