These amazing photos come care of the long time veteran of the Finnish punk scene, Matti Saarinen. Having been involved since the first wave of the Finnish hardcore explosion, Matti has documented many great bands in photos in personal, behind the scenes shots.

From 1980-1986, Matti produced a zine under the name Kaaos, as well as writing for Idiootti and the legendary Barabbas zines as well. He later began releasing records under the name Kaaos Korporaatio which put out hits such as Terveet Kädet's "Message" 7" and Riistetyt's then previously unreleased "Tuomiopäivä" 7".

Kaaos Korporaatio is still fully operational today as a distro and can be accessed here:
