Ikuinen Vaiva´s history:
On the fall of 1999 when Arto Tolonen(drums) and Mikko Nissinen(guitar, vocals), who were old friends to each other needed something real to be done. After completing their military service, both in the age of 20, decided to form the Hardest Rocking band with extremely heavy and intensive sound in town Sotkamo, in mid-Finland. However, luckily out of the blue, something good came out in sight here - Pete Korhonen who happened to like their musical direction came to join the band. So now the group had a bass player. Place where band rehearsed was Tolonen`s parent`s home. Then the serious rehearsing was about to begin despite the fact that Tolonen`s neighbours weren`t quite delighted about it and were actually just about to threat guys with charge to court for accusing them of disturbing their home peace with their raw music and noise pollution during the rehearsal. ( After a while band had to find other place to rehearse. Off Vaiva went and took it`s gear to Sointupes..(the music community center in Sotkamo back then.) In the beginning was born definitive WC/HC-three-piece-group, Anal Beat. Under this hilariously idiotic name they did one single gig with brutal and messy result.However, at this point guys weren`t guite satisfied with their inside-joke band. They needed something better to be done. Guys fell into one local HC/punk-guy in Sotkamo who tried to take the job as a lead singer in the band. However, they came around with the fact that his musical vision of the new band was contradictive with Nissinen`s and Tolonen`s own vision of group`s musical expression. It became no question about putting up any ridiculous skate-punk-band in here. In the end, Their music ended up being something wicked, pretentiousless and murderous. Nissinen was somehow forced to take the role as a lead vocalist while taking care of the riffage at the same time. Due to the fact that there propably would not be anyone around at the time who could make it as a throat man of their band. Nissinen and Tolonen decided to go together on.Those days they were heavily influenced by hard, Finnish alternative bands such as Kotiteollisuus and Mana Mana. One important thing to mention here about I.V:s lyrical decision is that those days there were not many bands like Ikuinen Vaiva around that where singing in finnish and playing that hard and intense music. In fact, it was not just a case of choosing the language of their vocal expression`, but Tolonen and Nissinen felt it more natural to have it sung in their mother tongue than in any foreign language, which would have been a bit pretentious.
Ikuinen Vaiva as a name means somewhat Burden of life, invented by Tolonen in Sauna during the times of the first demo Kootut Selitykset (=Compiled Explanations) was recorded. Burden of life described the rocky road the band had been on on it`s years with line up changes (and were about to travel on it also in the future.) and that the trial to make it up for a really good name for a band was a real Burden of life-So IKUINEN VAIVA WAS BORN!! The name also related to the fact that the way the group had started and tried to make it`s way thru many failures and misfortune in trying to complete their line up as fittable for themselves. On those days, the second guitarist and bass player were chronicly wanted.
The Burden didn`t seem to ease. At the start of the fall 2000 Korhonen moved to Jyväskylä, but band had found some time back a guitar player, Seppo Kononen (Who came to play the rhythm-guitar on Kootut Selitykset-cd). On spring 2001 Ikuinen Vaiva had enough songs to make their first demo. Kononen had a connection to Bank Rock Records-studio in Raahe, Finland. So I.V. traveled there to make their first recordings.
Now afterwards critically spoken, it didn`t come out as a best quality recording due to the lack of studio time and lack of routine to work there. On summer 2001 Ikuinen Vaiva played local rock festival, Hiukkarok.
It had been in the air for some time that Kononen´s intrest was no more there in developing himself as a band member and a guitar player. So it was a natural movement for letting the man go off the band. On spring 2002 Vaiva started looking for new guitar player and came out with surprisingly good new material- and they also managed to pick up a new-found Sotkamo youngster, Ville Saastamoinen to replace Kononen.
On that same spring Nissinen went to study in college in Birmingham, England and band didn´t practice at this point for four months. After Mikko`s return band played 2 gigs in Sotkamo and started looking for studio to make a EP. After recording the second EP, also at BBR, Raahe, Nissinen was really exhausted and strained by this difficult studio session and for disappointment, how unprepared I.V.-group were for the professional work in the studio. Nissinen has been heard saying he just burned out, which had been doing it`s coming for months earlier for trying when he tried to make Vaiva work mostly by his own work and effort. There was no way the band could make it on further this way. Nissinen wasn`t more interested in pushing the band forwards than this. So band members saw the best thing to do was to quit itself. However Ikuinen Vaiva EP, Iltapukuheimo (=evening dress tribe) which was released during the time Vaiva ended up quiting itself, turned out to be much more balanced and inspired record than the first demo on Nissinen`s own opinion. Despite the fact that Vaiva was no more, something still burned inside...
Now years have passed and some serious movements have been witnessed in Ikuinen vaiva - camp. Nissinen and Tolonen have written recorded new, material with sharp teeth...For Ikuinen Vaiva to be here for YOU and have a nice, bloody revenge...
Nissinen and Tolonen spend rough a year (Dec.2005-March 2007) writing, rehearsing and taping down new songs.
The creations of this hard-work-filled period are available now for all to hear and see. The result of it all is the DEBUT FULL LENGTH ALBUM OF IKUINEN VAIVA named â€KUOLLEISTAâ€(Of the Dead/Back From the Dead). The album was released in Finland and in Europe 4:th of July 2007 by SRAMU tm and LONGKILLAH ltd. The album is co-distributed by Firebox ltd.-a Finnish metal record company. On April `07 was confirmed that the bad-ass Beastess, Niina Korhonen of Sotkamo origin, took responsibilities of the second guitar in I.V. Tommi Tuikka (Sonitus Gratus) took care of bass in live-line up of Ikuinen Vaiva
â€Kuolleistaâ€-album represents widely inspired, more mature and meaner metal-punk-rock band with brand new skin created and fresher poison to be spat out on all your pretty faces!
