Purtenance is a death metal band from Nokia, Finland. They were formed in 1990 by Timo (Vocals), Juha (Guitars), Toni (Guitars), Pasi (Bass) and Harri (Drums) and their main ambition was to play distorted low, traditional death metal in the scandinavian style. They are renowned for the evil, vile nature of their music, making them one of the best death metal bands to ever come out of the Finnish scene, along with others like Rippikoulu, Depravity and Demigod.
