In the early 1990s, Hämäläinen started playing bass, drums, and sang for multiple bands based both in the US and Finland.
In September 2007, he joined the Gothenburg based melodic death metal band Nightrage.
In March 2015, Armageddon, a Swedish melodic death metal band led by former Arch Enemy guitarist Christopher Amott, announced him as their permanent vocalist.[1][2]
He occasionally provides guest vocals for bands ranging in all genres of extreme metal both live and in studio.
In reference to Hämäläinen's work on the Nightrage album Wearing A Martyr's Crown, Sputnikmusic wrote that Hämäläinen "has a lot of vocal similarities to Tomas Lindberg, which brings back a resemblance to their original sound from their first two albums". Added to his clean vocals "he can still maintain a melodic edge, but he only does it every now and again within the album; he only does it for the purpose of giving some of the songs a musical edge so the listener doesn't fall asleep thinking that the only new addition of style is just a higher use of acoustic guitars".[3]
