History & Biography
The band was founded in Helsinki in 2012 and issued a series of demos with singer Jukka Pihlajaniemi who left the act in 2018. The group also played at the Tuska Festival in Finland. The group had a video for the track Coffincraft.

Next came a couple of cover versions like Carnivore's Jesus Hitler and Celtic Frost's Morbid Tales. The band also compiled its cover versions into an upload called Happy Dayz: Human Errors RE-Revisited. It goes without saying that the 2023 album contained a cover version too. The group was singer Jussi Salminen, guitarist Kride Lahti and bassist Antti Poutanen who also played the cello (remember they are Finnish). Singer Jussi Salminen left in 2023. Drummer Seppo Tarvainen joined.
