WRTX (band)
WRTX is a Death Metal/Thrash Metal band from Kuopio, Finland
From the band's Biography section of their official website
WRTX was born in December 2002 as a project of J.Salo and A.Leskinen. T.Kuuluvainen joined the band in January 2003 as a lead guitarist. WRTX's firts demo was recorded in summer 2003 at Midgard studio. Music on that demo is some kind of rocking thrash metal. At the end of the summer H.Liimatainen joined the band as a bass player.
In January 2004 A.Leskinen decided to left WRTX and the band needed to find a new drummer who would be more hardworking.
The year 2004 was kind of year off and the main goal just was to get a firm line up. After a while J.Salo asked his friend J.Kumpunen if he had interest to become a drummer of WRTX. J. Kumpunen joined the band.
In May 2005 N. Salo started to play as a live guitarist meanwhile J. Salo could focus better on live shouting.
In spring 2006 H. Liimatainen found himself too busy on his cook's career, so N. Salo humbled himself to play bass in WRTX.
After drummer had changed our music begun to develope into faster and not so "rocking" thrash metal. Nowadays WRTX's songs are much more aggressive and probably a bit more technical too.
In August 2006 we finally decided to record our second release by ourselves.
