about

The band in its current form started in the winter of 2004. The Haapanen brothers (Vesa and Heikki) and Jussi Virtala had been playing together for some time before that but the band found its current path when guitarist/vocalist Juha Haavisto joined the band. In the beginning it was just about four guys getting together and playing some metal. None of the guys could really play well but after a while some original songs of varying kinds were written and the band started to improve. Most of these early songs were mid-tempo and simple. At some point the band started to play faster and faster and the overall sound of the band changed to a more thrashy sound. And as Juha took over most of the vocal duties death metal influences started creeping into the bands music. Sometime in the year of 2005 the band was named Scavenger and played its first gig. The gig was anything but perfect but it gave the band more motivation as some people seemed to really like the music. In late 2006 the band recorded the song “Denied” to the compilation album to be published by Alavus Rock Ry. This would be the only song the band released under the name Scavenger as the name of the band was changed in 2007. The compilation was named “Kuudes Ulottuvuus” (The Sixth Dimension) and it featured 23 tracks by fifteen band and was released in the summer of 2007. Some time after this the band finally decided to record their debut demo. So in the end of the summer of 2007 the band started the recording proces
