Skyward

The whole story began in the year 2000. It was just another alcohol-fueled Friday night, and after a while the boys (Ville and Sakke) decided that the world needs another melodic metal band. There can never be enough those around. And since they had been playing in bands practically all their lives, they felt that this should be a piece of cake. After all,how hard can it be to form a band? A rehearsal was scheduled.

They take inspiration from a wide range of styles, with each member adding their own unique influence. In April 2007, They embarked on their first tour with Residual Effect, RSJ and I Remain, released their first cd "We Only Kill Each Other", and subsequently parted ways with the bassist of the band.
