Damnation Plan

Biography

Originally formed in 2004 by Jarkko Lunnas and Kalle Niininen, the first self released EP "Darker World" was released in 2007. The somewhat tedious process of recording and mixing the Ep was entirely done by the two at the Damnation Plan rehearsal room in Lintuvaara, Espoo, Finland. That time the band's roster was accompanied also with Sami Honkonen on vocals and Tony Thamm in bass. Later for the dozen of gigs played for the Darker World's release around the Helsinki area, Antti Lauri joined the band for the lead guitar.

After the Darker World live gigs the band continued without Sami and Tony, and pursued preparing material for the to-be full length debut album. During the more or less on/off writing break the band was somewhat on hiatus, each member being busy with preparing the material and working on other projects. During the time the band got in contact also with Asim Searah to pre-demo some of the materials.

At the verge of 2012 the band got in contact again with Asim for the clean vocals of the album and Tommy Tuovinen (MyGrain) for the harsh vocals. During the end of 2011 and spring of 2012 the band started recording the album, with the renewed line up introducing Asim and Tommy on vocals, Jukka Vehkamaa on bass and Jussi Kulomaa (as session member) on keys.

The drums were recorded in D-Studio late 2011, where as the guitars, bass and vocals were recorded at Kalle's home studio and at the Damnation Plan rehearsal room during spring & summer 2012. The mixing and mastering duties of the album were carried out by Dan Swanö (Edge of Sanity, Nightingale, Bloodbath) at the Unisound studio.

December 2012 the band was signed to Coroner Records to release their uncompromised debut full length "The Wakening" world wide March 12 2013!
