Snowblind, a Finnish Black Sabbath tribute band, was founded in
August 1996 by the bassist Yakari. The original plan was to play
Ozzy Osbourne's album Speak of the Devil in its entirety during one
single gig. A drummer Tomi Yl�nen and a guitarist Jari Taunimaa were
the first ones to join Yakari. Then after a fierce search Petteri Niskanen
joined the band as a singer. Due to other interests the whole project
was postponed and then in February 1997 Jukka Talasm�ki
took Jari's place as the guitarist of the band.
Finally on the 8th of August in 1997 the gig took place in a rock
club called Mexas. After a while it was decided to continue with
playing Sabbath songs and to expand the repertoire. It included few
songs from the early days and from the 80's and then some Ozzy's tunes.

The band has played some gigs every once and a while and the story still continues�
