Additional notes
The band was founded by Teemu Kautonen as his solo-project in August 1995, and he handled all the instruments on the first demo.
Teemu moved the band to Germany in April 1997 adding new local musicians CY and Daniel to the line-up. In August Teemu returned to Finland, but moved back to Germany in January 2001, and CY and Daniel came along again.

Also a new guitarist Johnny joined the band.
