Artist History In the beginning there was only Janne, the guitarist, who was drinking heavily with his brother. He met Riina Pentikäinen, the drummer, and came up with an idea of a band. They asked Tapani to join the band as a lead guitarist and started to train in a garage in Kerava. They arranged few songs and threw one gig at Sotunki College, before they asked Joni Ryymin to do the singing. This happened in year 1998. Year changed and Joni has just joined the band before their second gig at Kerava high school. Band was called Avatar at the time. Riina freaked out and they had to split for a while. Janne and Tapani threw a dedicational gig to Riina at Sotunki once again. They rejoined in January 2000 with new arrangements. Tapani became singing guitarman and Joni became bass playing vocalist. They also found a new member: Dan, the keyboarder. Dan turned out to be a marvelous net hack, a computer guru and outrageous homepage creator, so we decided to create this homepage. It has been in net since 10.1.2000, but the final version saw daylight 20.1.2000. Lots of stuff happened during the year 2000, two long-time members Joni and Riina left the band, and two new members joined us. Mika Mutkala, our new guitar player, is a long time friend of Tapani and Janne. Janne decided to move over to bass. And the new drummer, Jukka Kurkinen, is working in the same place as Tapani. When Riina left, Tapani asked Jukka to join the band. The year 2001 went by. Nothing special happened until late winter. Two long time members, Dan and Janne left the band. Things didn't look too good. Then came the year 2002. Dan rejoined the band and our boys found a new bass-player, Mikael Immonen. And the first demo-album of Dawn Of Eternity is recorded in the late of January. Album is called Call Of The Wild. A lot of things are happening at this time, and the saga will continue..on and on..
