Deep Insight was formed in early 2002 in Kokkola, Finland by childhood friends Jukka (vocals) and Johannes (guitar). They soon found Joachim (drums) and Kaj (bass), cousins to each other, to complete the band.
The first release, Julia ep, was a theme record focused around the life and death of Julia, a character created by Jukka and Johannes on their crazy road trip to Paris in the winter of 2001. It actually gained many good reviews, most of them praising the young band’s promising songwriting and Jukka’s exceptional voice. It also got the band’s name spread around the music industry.
In 2003 big things started to happen for Deep Insight. The band recorded their debut album Ivory Tower at Soundtrack Studios in Helsinki, Finland, and Kaj was replaced by Miska on bass. Miska instantly gave a whole new meaning to sayings “ripping the bass” and “man uses his instrument like he uses his women”. The album came out in May, and the band started their first ever European tour.
Timing was perfect; Deep Insight’s mix of American rock and emo with Scandinavian influences was received with great enthousiasm amongst the audience and critics. It was only back home in Finland where the response was more reserved. Deep Insight soon returned to Germany, The Netherlands, Poland, Sweden and Latvia for summer festivals, and in October, it was time for the third foreign tour, a 5-week European adventure.
The second album "Red Lights, White Lines" was recorded and mixed in June-July 2004 with producers Jens Bogren (Katatonia, Lambretta) and Jonas Olsson (Callisto), who also supervised the pre-production before letting the band enter one of Sweden’s finest studios, Fascination Street (ex-Kuling) in Örebro. Finally, the album was mastered by Thomas Eberger (Bo Kaspers Orkester, Nine, Raised Fist) at Cutting Room in Stockholm, Sweden. And the sound and songs turned out great. Some critics gave it a rating 10/10 some gave it a 3/5.
Joachim decided to move to pastures new after the recording sessions and in came Ville. The third album "One Minute Too Late" came out in 2006 and is stylistically more diverse, including e.g. Mexican influences (on Five Minute Murder). After a while Miska also decided to leave the band, and along came Jore to fill his place.
After a little break in July 2008 the band was back to the studio recording new album. And this time they spent more time on making it instead of the usual one month locked inside. The release of the album is due to next spring. However, first single Rock With My Band will hit the stores in Finland on the 18th of February and digitally released on the 2nd of February in iTunes.
Deep Insight is back on the road and the Eropean tour starts in the end of April 2009.

Raging Storm
Deep Insight Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To the other side
I open the door into the other side (2x)
I nearly drowned last night in the pool
And how did I get these tattoos?
Now
Everyday I wear a different news
I open the door into the other side
I can't wait for you to call
Cause time is dragger
And it's getting cold
I'm in a raging storm
Nobody told me the way it goes
I gave you my name but I'm never home
I'm in a raging storm
(One)
To the other side
I open the door into the other side (2x)
I was born again in a motel room
I got so close to the flame with you
Now everyday I wear a different news
And everyday I'm taking it out on you
I open the door into the other side
I can't wait for you to call
Cause time is drag
And it's getting cold
I'm in a raging storm
Nobody told me the way it goes
I gave you my name but I'm never home
I'm in a raging storm
(One)
To the other side
I open the door into the other side (2x)
I can't wait for you to call
Cause time is drag
And it's getting cold
I'm in a raging storm
Nobody told me the way it goes
I gave you my name but I'm never home
I'm in a raging storm
The lyrics of Deep Insight's "Raging Storm" describe a person who feels lost and trapped in a series of tumultuous events, with no escape in sight. The first verse describes the aftermath of a night of heavy partying, where the singer woke up with tattoos they cannot remember getting. They feel stuck in a cycle of self-destruction, taking out their frustrations on those around them. The repeated line "I open the door into the other side" represents the singer's longing for a way out of their current situation, a yearning to escape into a different reality.
The chorus expresses the overwhelming feeling of being caught in the midst of a raging storm, unable to find a way to safety. The singer is isolated, with no one to turn to and no sense of direction. The line "Nobody told me the way it goes" illustrates the singer's frustration at the unpredictability of life and the sense that they have been left unprepared to face its challenges. Despite giving their name to someone, they feel disconnected from the world and unable to find a true sense of home.
Overall, "Raging Storm" captures the painful and chaotic emotions that can result from feeling lost and alone. The repeated motif of "opening the door into the other side" suggests a desire for escape but also emphasizes the singer's sense of being trapped and unable to find a way forward.
