about
Karelian Warcry is Finnish band playing Black\Death Metal. 2001: Pre-History of Karelian Warcry Pre-history of the band dates back to the year 2001. Sami Ukkonen, Henrik Järvinen, Jarkko S., Matti Mikkonen and Anttipekka Heiskanen started to play together at Kuusankoski, Finland. First songs were covers from bands like Mayhem, Impaled Nazarene and Immortal. Sami had already composed couple of songs himself, but it was more fun to play songs like ”Deathcrush” or ”Blashyrkh” twentyfour times and then head to the local gas station at 4.00 AM. In the beginning of 2002 Matti went to fullfill his duties in Finnish Defence Forces and band started to collapse gradually. During the year band didn't have any name and didn't record any material at all. Still, the flame of Ikirouta remained in the fellow minds. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2002: Karelian Warcry It was until December, 2002, when Matti, Sami and Anttipekka gathered again and started to play together in the Anttipekkas parents garage in Kouvola. Samis idea and name ”Karelian Warcry” was launched. Also more and more composed songs were made by this trio. Some of their rehearsals were recorded with famous nipple-tape-recorder. Karelian Warcry had grown roots that cannot be torn. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2003: Draft and Sami Secedes There was a urgent need for a lead-guitarist so Matti could concentrate on vocals better.
