| Band biography |
In 1988 it turned more serious. At the same year we changed the name to Sacred Crucifix. During -´88 we made a decision to say goodbye to Hannu because he was not capable of singing these "Realms Of Darkness" songs, so Miku and Tommi took over the vocal duties.
In the summer of -89 we jumped to studio to make R.O.D -demo. We started distributing "R.O.D" and surprisingly it became quite a success in the underground scene. Then in 1990 we went to Soundmix-studio, Oulu to record a promo-tape. A few labels were interested in us, but we had some bad luck and things did not work out. Then Tommi and Janne went to army and Miku moved to Sweden.
In 1993 Sacred Crucifix was reformed again. Janne on drums, Tommi on guitar, Jarkko on guitar, Essi on bass and Tommo on vocals. Style was more technical than before. In 1994 Sacred Crucifix went to Tico-Tico studio, Kemi, and made another promo-tape, which did not meet the expectations at that time. In 1996 Jarkko moved to Jyväskylä and eventually joined Trio Niskalaukaus ("Hyvä Petosalmi"!).
After a few years Miku moved back to Oulu, Finland and started to plan a reformation. Finally Janne moved also to Oulu and the band was back on the right track once again. In October 2002 we started rehearsing with Janne on drums, Tommi on guitar, Miku on bass and vocals, Jukka Kyrö on guitar (also in both Burning Point and N.N.S). Jukka didn`t have enough time for us, so we decided to go our own way. After that we found a new guitar player Tero Kemppainen. His period in Sacred Crucifix was not longlasting.
From October 2002 to this point we have 13 brand new songs. We also have 4 old songs on our play-list as well. Between 7:th and 10:th of May 2003, we recorded a promo tape, including 4 songs in Tonebox Studio, Oulu. Our style is an old-school Death Metal, as we had it as our main musical style within the period from 1988 to 1991.
After the studio sessions Tero moved to Kajaani and we started the ”guitaristhunting” once again. 09/11/2003 we had a conversation with our original member Sami Taimela. He was interested and now we have the original line-up in Sacred Crucifix.
