Chained was founded in Raahe in 2007 by Leskinen, Tihinen and Marjala. Originally Antti Marjala was in charge of singing but after a while it became obvious that some new blood was reguired in order to give Marjala a chance to concentrate fully on his guitar.
In the fall of 2007 Markus Orava, the present singer of Chained, joined the band.
In the turn of the year 2007 Broken Home, the first demo of the band, was recorded and released in 2008. The demo was recorded and mixed by Joni Tanskala.
2009 Cause & Consequence demo was recorded and mixed by Pasi Sipilä.
After the release of Cause & Consequence demo we got a new bass player, Sami Kotila.
At the end of 2009 Antti Marjala decided to leave Chained and we had to
start looking for a new guitarist. Finally we found one. Rythm guitar
is now played by Joni Tanskala, who also recorded and mixed our first
demo.
In 2010, we recorded the first demo of the current line-up.
In 2011, we started to record a new demo, from which one song was released, but it soon became clear that we would not settle for a mere demo, so we started to work on more songs.
So prepare yourselves for a kickass Ep next year.
