There are at least seven artists using the name Mary: 1. Mary is a four-piece band from Oulu, Finland. The band took the first steps in the early 1990's. Line-up changed frequently in the first few years and was stabilized after the mid-90's to create an original mixture of rock, metal, hardcore and punk with progressive elements and Finnish lyrics. After the band first surfaced, they've always had a reputation as a phenomenal and energetic live band. The sheer in-your-face approach to the lyrical section has also created mixed emotions.
