Oulu, Finland based Death Metallers E-XPLOSIVES have just recorded their first two tracks of "relentless, punishing, hammering old school Death Metal assault," hoping to find a singer for the group. The band plans to record more music later in the year, this time in a professional studio. According to a press release, E-XPLOSIVES was formed during the summer of 2010 when "an unholy union of seasoned Death Metal warriors" was assembled by guitarists Risto "Crazy" Ruuth (ex-ETERNAL TEARS OF SORROW) and Jukka "Banjo" Valppu (ex-MYTHOS). Drummer Teemu "Blastbeat Menace" Hautaniemi (also ex-MYTHOS) was asked to join and brought bassist Sami "Coma" Kettunen (WARCEREMONY) along to the rehearsals.
