ARTIST GEAR
Nils Ursin is the bassist for Trio Niskalaukaus, one of Finland’s most influential heavy rock bands. The group was formed in the late 1990s and quickly became a cornerstone of the Finnish metal and hard rock scene with its powerful sound and Finnish-language lyrics addressing social and existential themes. Trio Niskalaukaus achieved major success, earning multiple gold and platinum albums and building a reputation as one of the most respected names in Finnish rock history.
As the band’s bassist, Nils provides the deep, driving foundation that defines their heavy and uncompromising sound. His playing style combines precision and strength, perfectly complementing the band’s intense guitar riffs and raw vocal delivery. Over the years, Nils has contributed to the band’s enduring popularity and its ability to connect with audiences through music that is both aggressive and meaningful.
Beyond his work with Trio Niskalaukaus, Nils is the founder and main composer of Marsh Tea, a progressive metal band known for its technical complexity and modern approach. Marsh Tea released its debut album, Disturbances in Movements, and is currently evolving with a refreshed lineup, steadily building momentum with new members. This project allows Nils to explore intricate compositions and advanced bass techniques, showcasing a different creative side compared to his work with Trio Niskalaukaus.
Alongside Marsh Tea, Nils also pursues solo material, further emphasizing his interest in technical and expressive bass playing. These endeavors explain his growing preference for extended-range instruments and six-string basses.
Recently, Nils joined the Cort artist family and selected the A6 Plus FMMH, a premium multi-scale bass designed for modern players who demand versatility, stability, and exceptional tone. This instrument allows Nils to explore new creative possibilities while maintaining the powerful low-end that fans expect from Trio Niskalaukaus. With this partnership, Nils continues to push the boundaries of his craft and deliver uncompromising performance on stage and in the studio.
