Eternal Tears Of Sorrow

BIOGRAPHY

The band was officially formed in 1994 by Jarmo Puolakanaho, Altti Veteläinen and Olli-Pekka Törrö, after some previous various metal projects (Andromeda, MDC, DWN) between 1991 and 1994 , involving some or all of these three members.

Andromeda had been put on hold in late 1992 because the rehearsal place had burned down. It took some while for the members to understand the town wouldn't give them a new rehearsal place for a while, so they (Altti, Jarmo and Olli) decided to start up a new project, MDC, and recorded a in Europe and Canada and recorded their Debut Album , ''Sinner's Serenade''.

It took more than a year for the debut album to get released by X-Treme Records, a small underground label from Gothenburg , Sweden . Since the second album, ''Vilda Mánnu'', they have released their albums through Spinefarm Records . Outside Finland, the albums have been licenced by different labels such as Drakkar Records in German-speaking countries and Fono Records in Russia.

Their third album ''Chaotic Beauty'' (on which the band had three new members) might have been the most successful album so far as they went to an European Tour with Nightwish and Sinergy promoting the album. However, it was their fourth album ''A Virgin and a Whore'' that went to the Finnish Album TOP 40 charts.

After releasing four albums, the band announced having a break just after the release of ''A Virgin and a Whore''. In 2002 the band announced they were going to have a long break. However, they broke up in January 2003 , the reasons being the members' interest in trying something completely different, or just taking a complete break from the Music Business .

In February 2005, the band announced they were to make a comeback. The album was being written and recorded during the year, and the fifth album ''Before the Bleeding Sun'' is due to be released in April 2006.
