Sielun Veljet ("Soul Brothers" or "Brothers of Soul") was a Finnish band, who started in the early 1980s and split after their 1991 3-CD Musta laatikko. The band's members were Ismo Alanko (vocals, guitar), Jukka Orma (guitar), Jouko Hohko (bass, guitar) and Alf "Affe" Forsman (drums). The music of Sielun Veljet was a sort of manic psycho-funk, with extremely intense live shows, as if they had been a more demented, shamanistic and psychedelic Finnish version of Red Hot Chili Peppers. The vocalist Ismo Alanko wrote in Finnish, except for the albums Shit-Hot (recorded under the moniker L'Amourder, which was meant to be the band's more export-friendly international version) and Softwood Music Under Slow Pillars which were in English.
