\nBefore releasing their fourth studio album Into<\/a> (2001), they were simply known as Rasmus, but changed their name to The Rasmus in order to avoid being confused with a Swedish DJ<\/a> of the same name. They gained international fame with their 2003 album Dead Letters<\/a> which went gold and platinum in several countries, accompanied with the single \"In the Shadows\" which reached number 1 in a number of countries. Their follow-up album Hide from the Sun<\/a> which was released in October 2005 also went platinum in Finland.
\nThe band is one of Finland's most successful with more than 3.5 million albums have been sold worldwide, eight gold awards and five platinum awards. They have released seven studio albums, two compilation album and 21 singles. Some of the band's most famous songs are the singles \"Liquid\", \"F-F-F-Falling\", \"In the Shadows\", \"First Day of My Life\", \"Funeral Song\", \"No Fear\", \"Sail Away\", \"Livin' in a World Without You\", and \"Justify\". Their most recent album, titled Black Roses<\/a>, was released in 2008. Immediately it replaced Metallica<\/a>'s latest album Death Magnetic<\/a> in the Finnish Album Charts and went gold after one week. In early 2010, The Rasmus started working on their next album, which will be released by the band's personal record label due to their contract with their previous label dissolving at the end of 2009.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
