“…KUNNES LOPPUU YÖ” demo cassette (tracks 1-3) was recorded and mixed by Heikki Peltonen at Akaan MR-studio in Viiala, Finland, 1996. “VARJOMAA” demo cassette (tracks 4-8) was recorded at Studio Audio-Artworks in Lahti, Finland 1997. MKL’s flagship of the ’90s, the first recording on the CD format, “PROLOGI” EP (tracks 9-12) was recorded in the same studio a year later with Ville Vartiainen. Two versions of the album were released; 1998 self-released version, and 1999 Italian Nocturnal Music´s version with the black cover and one extra bonus track for the European market. The solemnly named “UUSI SUOMALAINEN BLACK METAL TULOKAS” split-cd was recorded and mixed with the Danish Lars B. Janson at the end of the millennium 1999. The studio was still Audio-Artworks, Lahti.

And there´s more to come; the cherry on the top of the cake is the history of the band’s first decade, compiled by journalist Jasmin Vahtera (included in the CD booklet).

The original line-up of the band included Kari Kinnunen (bass, 1993-2003), Pete “Speedu” Tamminen (guitar & growl, 1993-2007), Mikko Hautala (drums, 1993-2017), and Pete Lehtinen (vocals, guitar & keyboards, 1993- ) who is still on the band and its only original member.
