During the decade of its existence Eradication has been taking its own path. Today drifted far from its original heavy metal roots Eradication is more innovative, audacious and determined than ever. Categorization of the band has been a hard task for critics during the past few years. A combination of metal, progressive rock and jazz-fusion is probably the best way to describe the unique music.
Eradication came to life when Mikko Gynther, Olle Räty and Teemu Karttunen joined forces in 2001. The first stable line-up, however, consisted of Mikko, Olle, vocalist and guitarist Ville Kaaronen (now in Poecilother) an bassist Jere Naski in 2004-2005. After the break up Mikko and Olle decided to look for a more distinctive sound and the line-up was completed by like-minded original guitarist Teemu Karttunen. The second period with Teemu lasted longer than the first but in 2007 Teemu decided to leave the band to pursue other interests. He was replaced by a long time friend Ville Muona and the longest running line-up was completed.
Since 2004 Eradication has been constantly releasing promotional EPs. The latest critically acclaimed records A Day in the Life and Aftermath form a conceptual story with a current theme. At the moment Eradication is arranging and rehearsing the songs of upcoming A Friday Night EP which will be even more out of the ordinary and candid than anything the band has done before.
