deathgrind band fromFinland . The band can be considered aside project of three members of Finland's metal and rock scenes:Pasi Koskinen (ex-Amorphis ,Shape of Despair , Ajattara), Mika Karppinen A.K.A. "Gas" (HIM), andNiclas Etelävuori (Amorphis , ex-Moonspell ).Biography
The project began circa
2004 when three active members of Finland's metal scene decided to create agrindcore and brutal death playground in the form of aside project .Pasi Koskinen and Niclas Etelävuori, ex-bandmates fromAmorphis , would join Mika Karppinen (known as Gas in theGothic rock band HIM) to create some aggressive landscapes that differed radically from their other musical projects.Though the bandmembers' real names are known, they want to keep their identities hidden by covering their faces in promo pictures and live concerts and by using
pseudonyms instead of their real names: "Herr Arschstein" (Pasi Koskinen), "Rot Wailer" (Niclas Etelävuori) and "Pus Sypope" (Mika "Gas" Karppinen).With brutality, speed, short songs and
gore imagery as main goals, the band released their first EP in2004 , "For Those About to Rot " (a play onAC/DC 's "For Those About to Rock "). Influences drawn from Carcass and classicaldeath metal can be clearly noticed.Following, on November 24th
2004 ,Spinefarm Records released the band's first album: "Utopia Sadistica ". The musical aesthetics are the same and Carcass' Jeff Walker makes a guest appearance on the album.Members
