Band Members: Karelian Warcry was founded in late 2002. A Drunken
idea about a band wasn't bad at all and one thing led
to another. Sami Ukkonen (bass) and Urgh
(guitars&vocals) were responsible for the musical and
lyrical stuff together. Grontti started to mutilate
drums. They all had similar and clear visions of what
they wanted of the band. Musically the early days were
Black Metal with a taste of folk in it.
RM joined the band in april 2003. He was the best
person to take care of the lead guitars. This way Urgh
could concentrate more on the vocals.
Sami quit KW february -04. He gave an official announcement
10.2.2004. Style changed after that a bit. Music
started to get influences from other genres, mostly
from Death Metal. There wasn't anything dramatic
between the bandmates at that time. Piispa, who had
played with these guys earlier, took over the bass.
