History & Biography
Ahlfors founded the band in 2014. A self-titled EP was issued by Caco-Daemon Records in 2017. It was initially a bunch of MP3s on the Internet. Väkkärä joined in 2018 and Elokoski joined in 2019. Finland-based death metal group Korpsesoturi signed a deal with Xtreem Music in late 2019 for the release of its next album, whose recording would take place during the first months of 2020 and was set to be released in spring or the summer.

The band announced a new album through Xtreem Music for the autumn of 2022. Embarassingly, the band sent a song in to participate in Eurovision 2023. A concert was cancelled due to the absence of the act's drummer, but gigs in the Baltic state were announced. Drummer Ilmari Toivanen was with the band between 2020 and 2021. His replacement was former Demolisher man Otto Uotila. A gig in Lithuania and one in Estonia were cancelled without explanation in early 2024. Korpsesoturi announced it would support Centinex for the Dead Forever Tour in Europe in 2024.

‘Soturi’ is Finnish for fighter. The band prides itself on being old school death metal. The lyrics are in Finnish.
