About

A heavy metal band from Muhos/Oulu, Finland, active between 1989-2005. Started out as a pure death metal band, but during their first five years the band streamlined their musical approach, creating a combination of roughness, melody and rocking heavy metal with focus on strong songs rather than technical complexity. This formed the musical foundation for the rest of the their career.
