Kalta, wha stairtit the baund in 1998 wis forced tae quat the baund in 2001 due tae a tumour (no cancer, but) that wis in his vocal chords an coudna be taen oot wi surgery.  Housome'er, he is aye the baund's heidmaist leeracist an haes been a guest on Visor om Slutet in 2003.

The ither foondin member, Teemu "Somnium" Raimoranta, dee'd in 2003, efter fawin aff a brig.  The offeecial verdict on his daith wis that he wis fou an the faw wis a mishanter.  Housome'er, a freend o his, Mikka Luttinen (the sangster frae Impaled Nazarene), jalouses that he duin awa wi hissel, an that he haed anerly haed three beers at the time.  Nane o the foondin members is in the baund the nou.

Maugre o that, the baund wins on, tourin aften an settin furth new material.
