release of their 10th album

Although their albums all sold well, the band’s pace slowed down after the release of their 10th album, Imperiumin Vastaisku , in 1988. It took two years for the release of their 11th studio album, Historian Suurmiehiä , which came out in 1990. Despite this, the album contained several hits, including one of their best known songs, “Tahroja Paperilla”. Three more years later, in 1993, they released Studio Etana , which became their last studio album for eleven years. The band came close to breaking up, citing “lacking inspiration” as the primary cause. Their 1996 release Repullinen hittejä , a greatest hits compilation sold over 240,000 copies, reaching the top of the Finnish charts. This record also stayed on the charts for over two years, a duration which is second of all time in Finland. After its release, the band effectively stopped touring or performing live.
