about
Ghoul Patrol was death ’n’ roll band which was formed in 2005 by guitarist Jani ”Boogie” Rapo (Alabama Hellraisers) and vocalist Henri Harberg (Stillburned). Wanting to bring something new to the Finnish metal scene the band started to compose songs and rehearse actively in 2006 when drummer Petri Mäkipää (Stillburned) joined them. Next to join the band was Kride Lahti (ex-Lithuria). Kride played lead guitar until the spring of 2008 when he decided to join Finnish trash metal band Dead Shape Figure. Beginning of 2008 brought quite a few changes to the course of Ghoul Patrol. Harberg decided step aside due to lack of time. He was replaced by Jukka Pihlajaniemi (ex-Endomorphism, Deathkult, Fourth Person Shooter) who immediately started to write lyrics for their first release. In the spring the band started to record ‘Death Fuckin’ Roll!’ in the legendary Finnvox studios. At this point Ghoul Patrol still lacked a bass player and they agreed that the only guy suitable for the task was David Forder (Stillburned, Make = Porn). At first he was supposed to play on the EP as a session player but after the sessions he was convinced - by the killer tunes of the band – to stay. After the recordings Kride left to play with DSF – and Ghoul Patrol was again without a second guitarist. The band decided try out with Albert Orma (ex-Stillburned) who was an eager fan of their material. Line-up started to take it’s shape and ‘Death Fuckin’ Roll!’ was reaping the harvest.
