Somewhere around november/december the drummer Sami Kulmala joined the group. 2008: The band decided to find a second guitarist to get the sound heavier. In the beginning of 2008 a guitarist, Jussi Salminen, joined the band. Only few weeks after, Ilkka Hätönen joined the band as a bassist, so Iiro could focus his strength on vocals only.
