THE BAND WAS ████ ████ FOUNDED BY VOCALIST / GUITAR PLAYER TERO AROUND 1998 - ████ ████ 99. ORIGINALLY UNDER THE NAME OF "BATTAGLIA" (WHICH ████ ████ STANDS FOR "BATTLE" IN ITALIAN). THE WHOLE THING ████ ████ STARTED AS A PROJECT WITH AN IDEA TO BRING ████ ████ ████ ████ INTO PUBLIC A FEW SONGS THAT HAD BEEN WRITTEN BY TERO ████ ████ AND SOME OF HIS FRIENDS.THE DAWN OF 2001 BROUGHT THE ████ ████ SITUATION WHERE THE LINE-UP STARTED TO FEEL REGULAR ████ ████ AND TURNING MORE OR LESS INTO A REAL BAND. WITH MICKY ████ ████ BEING DRUMMER, ESA PLAYING THE BASS AND SAMI PLAYING ████ ████ GUITAR, THE BAND DECIDED TO CHANGE THEIR NAME INTO ████ ████ BATTAGIA, SINCE IT WAS FOUND OUT THAT A BAND UNDER THE ████ ████ NAME OF BATTAGLIA ALREADY EXISTED. THEY STARTED ████ ████ RECORDING SONGS FOR A DEMO, SOME OF THESE BEING OLDER, ████ ████ SOME OF THEM JUST WRITTEN. ADDING TO THE CAKE A COVER ████ ████ OF CLASSIC W.A.S.P. SONG "BLIND IN TEXAS" THEY FOUND ████ ████ THEMSELVES WITH 7 SONGS FULLY MIXED IN THEIR HANDS. ████ ████ WITH THE SOUNDS BEING MORE LIKE FROM A REAL RECORD ████ ████ RATHER THAN A DEMO AND THE SONGS HAVING POTENTIAL, THE ████ ████ BAND DECIDED TO PUT THE SONGS OUT AS A CD. "COCKROACH ████ ████ MEAT" HIT THE STREETS. ████ ████ ████ ████ YEAR 2001 BROUGHT ALONG THE FIRST GIGS AND THE BAND ████ ████ STARTED GAINING REPUTATION WITH THEIR LIVE PLAYING. ████ ████ HOWEVER, IN THE SPRING OF 2002 IT BECAME CLEAR THAT ████ ████ DRUMMER MICKY WAS NO LONGER THE RIGHT GUY FOR THE ████ ████ BAND. A GOOD OLD FRIEND OF TERO`S AND SAMI`S WAS ████ ████ CALLED IN TO HELP. JIMBO, HAVING DONE HIS HOME WORK IN ████ ████ AN A BAND CALLED IRON CROSS (PLEASE, SEE "LINKS" FOR ████ ████ DETAILS), AN EMI RECORDING ARTIST THAT MADE HEADLINES ████ ████ ALREADY BACK IN THE 80`S, IT WAS EVIDENT THAT BATTAGIA ████ ████ WOULD STEP ON A COMPLETELY NEW LEVEL. WITH A COUPLE OF ████ ████ OUTDOOR FESTIVALS IN THE SUMMER OF 2002 THE BAND GOT ████ ████ TIGHTER AND CONFIDENT OF THE FACT THAT THEY WERE ON ████ ████ THE RIGHT TRACK. ████ ████ ████ ████ A COUPLE OF GIGS IN THE BEGINNING OF 2003 BROUGHT THEM ████ ████ MORE KNOWN OUTSIDE HELSINKI AREA AND 4 NEW SONGS WERE ████ ████ LAID DOWN. THE EP "HELL JUST FROZE OVER" WILL COME OUT ████ ████ IN MARCH 2003. ████ ████ ████ ████ The musical style of the band could be best described ████ ████ as 80`s metal with modern touch and sound. Whether you ████ ████ wanna call it hard rock or heavy metal, doesn`t really ████ ████ matter. It┤s hard and it┤s heavy and IT Rocks. If you ████ ████ like bands such as Accept, Dokken, Judas Priest, ████ ████ Metallica OR Skid Row, YOU MAY WELL LIKE WHAT BATTAGIA ████ ████ DOES. The LINE-UP TODAY IS AS FOLLOWS: ████ ████ ████ ████ Tero - vocals, guitars ████ ████ Sami - guitars, vocals ████ ████ Esa - bass, vocals ████ ████ JIMBO - drums, percussion ████ ████ ████ ████ At the moment battagia is looking for a management, a ████ ████ booking agency and a record DEAL. ████ ████ ████ ████ IF YOU ARE AN A&R PERSON, YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO.. ████ ████ ████ ████ ███▓ ░▄▀▓██ ██▓▀▄ ▐██▄▀▓ ▓▀▄▓█▌ ▓███▄ ▄███▓░ ░▄▀▓███▄ ▄███▓▀▄░ ▐██▄▀████▄ ▄████▀▄██▌ ▓███▄▀███▓▄ ▄▓███▀▄███▓ ▄▀███▓ ▀███▓ ▓███▀ ▓███▀▄ ▐▓█▄▀██▌ ▐█▓▓▌░▒▓█▓▒░ GROUP NEWS ░▒▓███████████████▓▒░▐▓▓█▌ ▐██▀▄█▓▌ ████▄▀ ▀▀▀▀ ▀▀▀▀ ▀▄████ ░▄▀▓███ ███▓▀▄░ ▐██▄▀██▌ The year is 2003, and AMRC is entering its 4th ▐██▀▄██▌ ▄░▓███▄▀ year of existence.
