BIOGRAPHY
Vorum is a finnish death metal trio from the Aland
islands (Ahvenanmaa) located between Finland & Sweden in the
Baltic sea. The band was established during slushy weather
conditions in the winter of 2006 and withholds to this present date
the same line up as in the early hours of the bands existence wich
is Jonatan Johansson, Matti Jalava and Mikko Josefsson. With eager
"The three" rehearsed and began writing songs about death,
darkness, evil and destruction wich ended up in a seven (7) track
demo, recorded in the basement of lord thunder & doom's
brother; His Hogness The Feral God-Pig of Antioch. It was a mixture
of thrash metal and death, but it sounded far from what the band
would later sound like. This recording was never released
unofficially/officially. Not much happened, a few demos were sent
around but without any aftermath and they played a few gigs at the
only local kvlt place called Pub Bastun in the town of Mariehamn.
Under this time the band went under the moniker of "Haudankaivaja"
wich means "Gravedigger" in finnish. A little while and fistful of
new songs later, it was time to make a new demo. The second demo
was recorded in Helsinki at Panu Posti mansion and took about a
week of nerve testing and resulted in a eight (8) track long death
strike. This demo, now released as an MCD and titled "GRIM DEATH
AWAITS", came to gather attention in webzines such as imperiumi.net
and in demo review columns in magazines like Miasma and even some
radio plays in the Ylex Metalliliitto radio show. Most special to
be mentioned is that Vorum could be seen on the cover of
Scandinavias biggest metal/rock magazine "INFERNO" this year being
the first unsigned band ever to be featured in the magazine as a
coverstory without having any official release. Eventually all this
lead to a record deal with WOODCUT RECORDS known for it's excellent
black metal and other extreme metal releases. The MCD "GRIM DEATH
AWAITS" is the first official release of Vorum and was released in
Scandinavia the 8th of April and worldwide the 24th of April by
Woodcut Records. Vorum is now slowly but steady writing new songs
for their debut full-lenght album wich will occur on a date
