Band history

Their lyrics are based on the fantasy novel Joni Koskinen's writing. The novel tells a story from The Land of the Crystal Mountain and Stone Forest. 'KmD' originally started as a two-man project by the Koskinen brothers. Joni Koskinen's biggest influence has been Moonsorrow. Yet each band member has their own personal influences.
After releasing numerous demos and EPs, Kivimetsän Druidi finally signed a record deal with Century Media in 2008. The debut album titled "Shadowheart" was released in October 2008, all the EPs and Demos were self-released.
