Tombstone is a heavy metal band from Finland.
The band was founded in 2003 in the mysterious woods of Southern Ostrobothnia on the Finnish west coast.
It all began when Kenneth Nylund and Mattias Sjoholm started jamming together in their village Malax in early 2001.
After playing together for a while they found the drummer Simon Abacka.

When Kenneth and Mattias went to Lappfjards folkhogskola to study sound technology in 2004, they met Johan Granstrom and Thomas Knipstrom who joined the band later on and the band was now completely formed in 2006.

From day one, Tombstone has been a True Heavy Metal band and the musical influences are highly affected by great bands from the 70's and 80's, such as Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Manowar and Dio.
Tombstone does not only offer heavy headbanging riffs, but melodic masterpieces as well.
