History & Biography
Thrashing with prestige, the band came together in August 1987, disbanded in 1992 and inevitably returned in 2006. Gods Are Calling you!! was a 1988 demo. The group’s first gig was in 1988. The Finnish label Poko signed the band. Still, a 1989 7” called Veijo was released independently and sold at gigs. During the break Orkki moved to The Netherlands and joined Lacrimosa and others. He and Aku were in a punk band called Heppihirvlo.

Post reformation Poko issued a compilation called Decades Of Decay, which overestimated the band’s tenure. Several gigs like Sauna Open Air followed. The band re-recorded its 1988 on the occasion of its thirtieth anniversary. It all went quiet until 2021’s Reveal The Ravage album in 2021. The old line-up persisted, but Johansson was on drums. Karppinnen had left in late 2019. The group performed at the Speed Metal Party 2021 in Finland.
