Musta Paraati (Black Parade in English) are a Finnish post-punk/gothic rock band, comparable to Killing Joke and Theatre of Hate. The original band was active for only a few years in the early 1980s, but their lineup changed many times before they dissolved circa 1984. Original vocalist Jore Vastelin (succeeded by Njassa and Epe Kronholm) died in 1993. The early 2000s post-punk revival led to renewed appreciation for the band, resulting in a CD release of their 1983 debut album Peilitalossa with several singles appended as bonus tracks. [1][2]

A Musta Paraati reunion concert at the Provinssirock festival in Seinäjoki is planned for summer 2015, featuring the Peilitalossa-era lineup with Herra Ylppö of Maj Karma replacing the late Vastelin. The reformed band are also planning to record new material.[3]
