Before beginning this first post of the blog I would like to introduce to you all this blog.

 

For each day of the 100 days limit, I will introduce a Metal band that is really underrated IMO.

And all of the bands will be classed in an alphabetical order.

My goal with this blog is basically to make you discover some rare diamonds buried under the ground, forgotten by the Heavy Metal world.

So whitout further ado, let's begin this blog.

For my first entry, I have one of the main Thrash Metal band from Finland.

The band released two studio albums and they are going to release they're next album called Redemption from Refraim really soon after 24 years of abence, their last album being One World Without the End (1991).

 

History:

The band was formed in 1987 in the town of Kuusamo in Finland by their former vocalist Aku Raaska when A.R.G. stood for Aku Raaska Group but when he left the members changed the signification of it to Ancient Rotten Graveguards. Then Tepa Karjalainen took his place and also filled the role for the bassist of the band and he's still in the band as of today. Then in 1989 and 1991 they released the two great Entrance and One World Without the End albums. After diverse lineup changes, the band decided to disband in 1994. But, in 2011 they made a comeback and now they will release their newest album called Redemption from Refraim.

 

Why I like this band:

I like their unique style of playing their Thrash Metal. In their album One World Without the End, they have a great style and they proved in songs like

, and Straybullet. Even today after 24 years without producing new material, they proved that they still make decent music

Their newest song, Equilibrium
