Entwine

The Profile

Entwine is a Finnish gothic metal band formed in 1995 in Lahti. Their discography includes The Treasures Within Hearts (1999), Gone (2001), Time of Despair (2002), diEversity (2004), Fatal Design (2006), Painstained (2009), and Chaotic Nation (2015).

Formed in Lahti, Finland in 1995; early vocals by Panu Willman on the 1999 debut, with Mika Tauriainen fronting later releases. Known for blending gothic metal with melodic hooks and electronic elements, notably on Fatal Design.

Two DeBaser reviews track Entwine’s path from a maligned 1999 debut to a finely produced, electronics-tinged gothic metal peak in 2006. The Treasures Within Hearts is criticized for weak vocals and immature writing, while Fatal Design is praised for variety, tight riffing, and standout singing. Overall sentiment: mixed but appreciative of the evolution.
