Biography

Petri (also known as "Pete") Lindroos was born in Espoo. At 14 years old, he began to play the guitar. In 1996, he founded the melodic death metal/power metal band Norther with drummer Toni Hallio. In 2004, he joined the folk metal band Ensiferum as lead vocalist and continued to perform and record with Norther until March 2009, when Norther's website announced his departure from the band to focus more on his duties with Ensiferum.[1] Lindroos said later in an interview that he did not want to quit the band, and on the contrary, the band members forced him to.[2] In 2019, Ensiferum drummer Janne Parviainen and Petri Lindroos (under the pseudonym "IIT Caprae") formed the black metal band Satanic North, where Lindroos performs bass and backing vocals.[3][4]
