Nailstate

After the demise of their previous band, guitarist Paul Mäkitalo (formerly of Dark Funeral among others) and drummer Stefan Norgren (from Eternal Oath and Faceshift) began spending an increasing amount of time trading riffs and drum arrangements. As things progressed, it soon became apparent that what they were on to was something too great to be left as unfinished song parts and scattered ideas. A new band needed to be formed and so, the race was on to recruit the right people and begin rehersing. After the usual process of trial and error, Gustav Jorde, the bass and voice of Defleshed, was hired to handle bass duties. The one slot left to fill at this point was that of vocalist. Gustav recommended his friend Lawrence Mackrory, who had previously sung with such bands as Darkane and Seethings. One track was sent to him, and a couple of weeks later a CD with his awesome vocals on the song arrived in the mail. Before all the guys in the band had ever been in the same room together, it was obvious that this new band, NAILSTATE, would be a force to be reckoned with!
