  • Bio

    Ghoul Patrol is a death 'n' roll band which was formed in 2005 by guitarist Jani Rapo and vocalist Henri Harberg. Wanting to bring something new to the Finnish metal scene the band started to compose songs and rehearse actively in 2006 when drummer Petri Mäkipää joined them. After few line-up changes the band was ready in 2008 with Jani Rapo - guitars, Petri Mäkipää - drums, Albert Orma - guitars, David Forder - bass and Jukka Pihlajaniemi - vocals. Line-up started to take it's shape and the first EP 'Death Fuckin' Roll!' was reaping the harvest. The band's MySpace page gathered listeners and praises from all around the world. The EP also got great reviews in Finnish metal media – demo band of the month in Noise.fi and Imperiumi.net (among others). The highlight of 2008 was their mini-tour in Scotland and December's show in Dante's Highlight – it brought the Zombie Go-Go dancers to daylight. It was instant hit ; ) In October 2008 the band started to record their second release called 'Hellfire Blues'. Due to unseen circumstances the EP's release was delayed and after six months from the recordings things were finally looking better. 'Hellfire Blues' was released in March 2009. The release gathered praises in media and most importantly amongst the metalheads. The band was selected as demo band of the month in Inferno Magazine and Noise.fi – 'Hellfire Blues' got 5/5 also in Stalkermusic. After releasing 'Hellfire Blues' the band started to record a new 4 song EP called 'The 3rd Death Manifest'. The recordings took place at 5by5 Studios and it was recorded/mixed/mastered by Matias Kupiainen (Stratovarius). The 3rd Ghoul Patrol release came out in August. Ghoul Patrol won Finnish Metal Awards Best Underground Act of 2009 - title. At the moment Ghoul Patrol is looking for a suitable record label to publish their releases.
