Breaking the ground as one of Finland's very first
"screaming hardcore" bands around the group known as of 2007 as Snow
White's Poison Bite. Since then the band has released two EPs under a small
Finnish label, Poko Records then following this lead to them being signed with
Sound Of Finland's Hyeena Trax leading to their debut release, "The Story
Of Kristy Killings". Now that all eyes were on them there was no turning
back.
As most bands do they underwent a drastic lineup change in
early May 2011. Leaving band-founder, vocalist Allan Cotterill, as the only
original member. Determined to keep his fans happy and the band alive, Allan
went to work, searching for new members to create a new and improved band.
Fast forward to today's terms of the band and it consists of
Allan “Jeremy Thirteenth” Cotterill, guitarist Tuomo “Tupi” Raisanen, bassist
Hannu “Bobo” Saarimaa and drummer Niko "Hoker Dine" Hyttinen. This
new and improved set has been hard at work writing and recorded for their
follow-up and second studio album release but first under their new label home,
Victory Records. This highly anticipated debut was titled "Featuring: Dr.
Gruesome And The Gruesome Gory Horror Show".
The album featuring a classic icon that matches the material
being said quite well, Michael Graves of The Misfits came forth to offer his
vocal skills on "Zombie Romance". An added touch that suited them so
well in fact it brought back an era known as the 50s, a time of doo-wop bands,
hence the brief mellow intro this song plays out having a line of lyrics "So
I took her to the movies, walked her through the park, she, she wants to kiss
me, so I gave it a shot" sounds awfully like the Murderdoll's tune of
"Teenage Zombie" except their lyrics went "I took her to the movies, And I took
her to the park, I took her in the back-seat, And that's where she stole my
heart" listen and compare two for yourselves and you be the judge.
Aside from that, the band went on to release two singles,
"The Gruesome Gory Horror Show", followed by “Will You Meet me in The
Graveyard?” each of which brings back the same formula as what was done before
except it sounds heavier, impressive, and brutally fangtastic! The lyrics fall
between the lines as they previously had done sounding nothing out of the
ordinary for these guys whatsoever.
