Biography
2005
In the spring of 2005 bass player Jaakko was added to accompany Samuli and Aleksi. Band didn't even have a name back then, but what they had was a promising pile of songs and shared vision of sound and thunder. Busy rehearsing during summer and fall. First demo was recorded in november, mainly to serve as a self-education and a rehearsing tool.
2006
A new year began with a search for new drummer. Whole winter and summer was spent auditioning for numerous drummers and finding a new rehearsal place. Finally it was decided to try collaboration with Jan-Erik. Again, summer was spent in rehearsing, composing and arranging. The summer was also the time for keyboard player, Jonne, to step in. First real demo was recorded at the end of the summer, with songs Mindstorm and Blue Flame. When the post-production was finally finished, Jan-Erik decided to leave, so it was again time to find a new drummer. This time it was a bit different, because several gigs were already booked, so we were in a hurry. Luckily using our connections we found Toni wery quickly.
Eight rehearsals with Toni (that's a song per rehearsal), and time for first gigs. On the side, the first demo was sent to numerous labels, etc. but nothing major was acquired, mainly "nice, but not now" kind of comments. The gigs were awesome, and response was excellent, which proved us that we're on the right track.
2007
At the end of 2006 it was decided to go to studio as soon as possible with this new line-up, and at the end of january we headed to Studio Tauko and recorded a second promo, Hurt, with songs Immortalized and Hurt. A couple of gigs in the beginning of year and after that rehearsing new songs and doing a lot of promoing and booking new gigs.
Hurt got wery positive reviews and several contacts were made by record labels and agencies. In the spring of 2007 a record deal was signed with Kampas Records. A plan is to record a full-length cd at the end of this summer and to release it either at the end of year 2007 or beginning of 2008.
