Henrik Kurkiala is a Finnish bassist most notable for his act in Sturm und Drang. He and André Linman founded the band in 2004 after a Judas Priest gig. It was meant that he would be the lead singer, but after a while the band decided that André should sing. Henrik is a hard Judas Priest fan, and on the promo pictures for Learning To Rock, he can be seen wearing a Judas Priest t-shirt. He is also the backing vocalist of the band. He started playing bass in 2004, and has co-written one of the songs on Learning To Rock with André, who usually writes the songs, The Raven.
