Biography
For a long time drummer Perttu Kurttila had aspired to found an actual brutal death metal band. In the summer of 2005 Perttu met with Jesse Ronimus, who was a vocalist at that time, and together they decided to start a new band. Perttu contacted a fellow, he’d met before only via the internet, named Jose Valli, who gladly participated as guitarist for the group. For the job of the second guitarist, Krister Lahti, an old friend of Jose’s, was selected.
After two songs were put up, the guys decided to record an experimental demo to hear how the band actually sounds. It was recorded in their rehearsal room and never really published or released anywhere. At that time – around Christmas – another friend of Perttu’s, Antti Poutanen, joined their ranks as a bass player after an invitation.
New and improved songs were created in a fast pace and already in the late spring of 2006, the group decided to lay out a real demo for the already growing fan base. Unfortunately Mr. Ronimus had to be kicked out of the band due to differing opinions, and after a mishap or two Perttu and Kride (Krister) ended up doing the vocals on the demo. In the end, neither one of the guys were really satisfied with the outcome and decided not to send or publish that one anywhere either. Nowadays the record has been on for sale at gigs and other special occasions.
At the break of that summer they started searching for a new vocalist, and sure enough, couple weeks later Jarno Kolehmainen contacted Perttu via e-mail and were considered a full member of the band only after a few test sessions and rehearsals. So the ensemble was complete and Lithuria could concentrate in what was really important: making brutal fucking death metal. A new demo, with brand new songs, was recorded in the fall of the same year. It also made performing possible and already after a couple of gigs the band is ready for more!
