Pohjoinen was founded in the summer of 2011. In the beginning the music style and line-up was slighly different but the band found its own form in January 2012. They recorded their first demo in the Spring, 2012 and started touring, mainly in Helsinki area where they are originating from. Little by little they were heading more and more towards Stoner Rock style even though that is not the genre that band itself would describe its music. Pohjoinen is downtuned guitars, slow tempo and occasionally even groove and anything between doom and rock.

The band is making music for the passion and love to it and they have recorded, mixed, mastered and done everything by themselves with their own equipments. They have got so much from the music and it is so large part of their life, that they want to give something back and live this split second, that they call life, the way the one is suppose to live it.
