History
The band was founded in 1997 in Oulu, Finland by bassist Jukka Jokikokko and guitarist Pete Ahonen.[1][2]
In 2016 the band added vocalist Nitte Valo,[3] formerly of the band Battle Beast. Valo started collaborating with the group in 2013 when guitarist Pete Ahonen asked her to collaborate on a few of the band's songs, and eventually asked her to join full-time as singer after he stepped down as vocalist.[4]
