The hole idea started after that Stefan Westerberg (Carnal Forge, ex In Thy Dreams) and Petri Kuusisto (Carnal Forge, ex In Thy Dreams) decided to leave Steel Attack to concentrate on their main band Carnal Forge.
Stefan who is a drummer from the beginning felt that he wanted to leave the job as front man in Steel Attack. But he still wanted to do something different to Carnal Forge (death/thrash metal) and still play the drums, Petri felt the same since Petri is a guitar player and not a keyboard player. After a year Stefan and Petri started to discuss to do something about this idea. The next day they gathered up to work on some ideas.
In the beginning the song writing was just for fun but as the time went on, they felt that this is something they really wanted to do. Months passed by and finally they had four songs ready to record. But they still had some problems to solve, first they had to find a good singer, bass player and another guitarist to complete the line up. Petri and Stefan asked a good friend Johan Jahlonen if he was interested to do some damage and team up with the guys, and he gladly accepted the offer since he had quit his former band and only played his one instrumental material.
The guys teamed up in the rehearsal room the next day to try out the songs, and it turned out great, so far so good. But there was still one problem to solve, so they started to look for a singer and bass player so they could complete the line up. After a few weeks they had a couple of alternatives to choose between, in the end there was one guy (Peter Kronberg) that felt right for the band. Rock`n roll.........the line up was now complete and the band ASPERITY was formed.
ASPERITY started to rehears the songs before recording the first untitled demo. After a couple of weeks they entered studio Black Lounge (Avesta/Sweden) and started the recording, after one week the untitled demo finally was completed.
ASPERITY signs with Arise Records and the debut album will be released in February 2004.
