Death Metal

Kaatörsnik was first formed in 2002, by 4 friends, attending junior highschool at the time.
During the years after, many of the members have changed and right now the line-up consists of:

Jarkko Laitalainen (vocals & guitar)
Olli Luomala (bass)
Sami Matikka (drums)
Ari Nortunen (guitar)

As for the name Kaatörsnik, back in the late 1800's when Finns were migrating to the US and England,  they didn't know a word of english. So, when trying to learn the language, they developed something
called 'Finglish' and when trying to say different words, they came out in a finnish form. Kaatörsnik stood for Gardensnake.

The band is currently mainly focusing on rehearsing and writing new songs, since two of the members (Jarkko and Olli) are in the army, which is mandatory in Finland. That makes playing gigs a bit difficult
at this time.

Partly due to this, the new demo that we are working on, will most likely be out sometime around 2008. The demo in question will be the third for Kaatörsnik, the first demo being Slowmotion Death (2005) and
the second one was Twisted (2006)

The style of our music is metal, but we might get ideas and influences from other styles of music as well. The main composer of our songs is Jarkko Laitalainen, but the final form the songs take, comes from
co-operation between all the members.
The lyrics are Jarkko's handwriting.

Hopefully our music will ewoke interest and different feelings in the listener!

Best regards,

Kaatörsnik
