| BRIEF HISTORY: Kaivosurma was formed in summer 1998 by the brothers Kalle and Markku. We had done some ultra-primitive hardcore tapes back in 1986-1987 and over ten years later it suddenly seemed like a good idea to do some more of the same stuff again. To our surprise these new crude 4-track tapes actually sounded quite good and somehow it came to our minds that it would be a fun idea to let others hear this stuff too. So "Saatanan lampaat" 7"EP came out in 2000. After that we did some more tapes and released the second 7"EP "Bronstein" in 2001. For the most part the early songs were improvised while recording. Only some of the lyrics were written beforehand. We didn't practise or write the songs, just pressed [rec] and blasted away. Kaivosurma Mk II was born in 2003 as we hired Janne as a guitar player, and started practising and writing new songs. The days of improvisation were over and we started writing songs like any other band. Soon Mikko joined in as a drummer and we became a four-piece band. With this line-up we our first live gigs in 2006. In 2008 this line-up went on hiatus since we lost our rehearsal place and people living all around the country didn't help much either. For the last year and a half the focus has been on studio work. There's now about two albums worth of new material recorded. Quite frankly this new shit sounds a million times better than anything we've done before. Take a listen on the Kaivosurma Myspace page or download some of the tunes from this very site. At the moment we're looking for a label to release a record from these recordings (EP + LP). The live line-up will be re-activated in spring 2009. DISCOGRAPHY: Saatanan lampaat 7"EP (2000) Slode Headquarters Bronstein 7"EP (2001) Slode Headquarters + two tracks on "Hahmotushäiriö" compilation LP (2006) Kissankusi Records + a whole live set on "Hahmotushäiriö Live" tape (2007) Shitsuck Tapes The "long-awaited" third EP (AKA "the 2004 demos") has been recorded but it's still unclear whether it will be released or not. Maybe some day if we're lucky. There is also a CD-R compilation coming out on Kissankusi Records sooner or later. This piece of sonic torment will be featuring almost all our early crude demotapes from the 90's. |
