Convulse

Featuring vocalist/guitarist Rami Jamsa, guitarist Toni Honkala, bassist Juha Telenius and drummer Janne Miikkulainen, Finland's short-lived death metal band Convulse only issued two albums — 1992's World Without God and 1994's Reflections — during brief their career, neither of which brought them much recognition at the time. But hindsight is always 20/20, and they have been retrospectively credited as one of their country's first extreme metal groups of note, even considered by some to be the forefathers of the local ‘Nokia' metal scene, as it's sometimes called. They also had a side-project called Puhelinkoppi (playing some kind of hardcore-punk-metal combination with really offensive lyrics towards everything), which is better known in general in Finland than Convulse itself. The band was previously known as S.D.S. (Fin) and they played speed metal. They did a demo tape called 'Mental Genocide Demo II 4/90', and probably some more stuff too.
