Roju: Pioneering the Next Wave of Modern Metal Roju emerges as a groundbreaking force in the realm of modern metal, fusing the unapologetic nu-metal vibes of the turn of the millennium with contemporary elements of djent and metalcore. The result is a musical concoction that defies convention, setting the stage for an electrifying journey into the future of heavy music. The genesis of Roju traces back to the collaborative efforts of original vocalist Joni Karjalainen and guitarist Joni Nuortimo.
