Corpset

Band, FI
Rock

Death / thrash metal band from Tampere, Finland. The band was originally formed under the moniker Chakra, in Oulu, 1998, by Jari Kelloniemi and Tommi Määttä. Chakra made two demos and few public appearances. This line-up broke up as the players moved around the country. Jari moved to Tampere in 2004 and decided to sell his gear and forget about the career in music business. A buyer candidate, Jami Heikkala, contacted Jari and after a few beers they decided to test some riffs and Chakra’s old songs together. Noticing the connection in the style of playing and musical interests, they felt like continuing these sessions. Not too much later they realized they had a good pack of songs together but no band. The guitarists kept on polishing the riffs and songs and practicing by themselves for over a year. In 2006 Jari found a drummer, Timo Hanhijoki, who was interested about the project and decided to join in. The band kept seeking for a singer and finally in summer 2008 they found Antti Murtonen. In 2009 the band recorded their first full-length album on their own expense using the name Corpset.
