Additional notes
The first Finnish doom metal band.
Band was formerly known as Rigor Mortis but they changed it because there was already another band from US with the same name.
Maijala brothers were the founding members of the band. VP was supposed to be only a temporary drummer at the start but soon became a permament member. The band was also searching for a vocalist from the very beginning because Teemu wanted to focus on the bass playing.
Tomi Murtomäki decided not to continue as vocalist after "20 years of SM" -tour due motivational problems.
