BlackOut Corporation Story
In the spring 2005 Wille and Rayburn answer to a web advertisement which asks about putting together a band. Wille and Rayburn have previously been jamming together every now and then, and are hopeful about the upcoming audition. The place for the audition is a rehearsal place of local band in Hämeenlinna and the audition song was decided to be Metallica’s “For Whom The Bell Tollsâ€. Chemistry during the audition seemed to work out quite good and everybody seemed to be happy with each others playing. For the next time we decided to learn a couple more songs and so the engines got started.
The idea of the name for the band came from Tommi’s vivid imagination on one Sunday morning whilst hungover. Same origin has the slogan:â€Don’t Be A Drunk Without BlackOutâ€
In the early times of BlackOut Corporation musical orientation was more melodic metal and thrash punk. The main musical influence was Children Of Bodom at that time. Members in the band then consisted of lead vocalist, two lead guitarists, bass guitarist and drummer. However, at the beginning of the year 2007 another lead guitarist decided to leave the band because of differences in musical opinions. In June 2007 lead vocalist left the band also for the same reason. The Band got its final form and found its final musical orientation during spring and summer 2007.
Currently the band consists of Rayburn (Vocals/Guitar), Tommi (Bass/Backing Vocals) and Wille (Drums/Backing Vocals). In autumn 2007 band got its reinforcement, Simo “The Manager†Oittinen, who’s know as a long time metal music endorser and as a good friend.
Band’s official first gig with its final form was in Wild West Saloon located in Riihimäki October 2007 with Crazy Machine. It involved lots of fun and grooving around in the good spirit of heavy metal. Play list consisted of mostly of cover songs but also couple of own songs were played in that gig such as “Shit Happens†and “I Will Not Forgiveâ€.
Booze killing night behind. No idea of yesterday.
You wake up from the floor and you are shivering.
You see vomit on living room floor.
As you feel desparate, you would sleep away all your pain,
but it's impossible. Something is banging your head.
Even a warm shower can't help you now. In Fridge there is just
beer and on a kitchen table there's just spirits.
You could kill for a drop of fresh juice, but you can't get it.
You can't recall anything from yesterday, You don't know where
you've been. You don't know whom you were with,
where did you go and what did you drink.
This must've been fun...
on your arm you see an adornment, a tattoo, which says:
"Don't Be A Drunk Without Blackout"...it's now part of you and
your life! You belong to Blackout Corporation now!!!
3+1 booze smelling drunk plays Groove Southern Fuckin' Metal!
It's Friday night again and spirits opens the mood for having fun!
Edless circle of having GoooooooooD TIME! FUCK! JOIN US!!!
