Doomsday Inc. as a musical project goes back to 2008, when members
of Painshock (namely Tomi, Rami & Kari) were in need of a "therapy band" as a side project
as Painshock increased it's popularity among listeners. The idea of a band started from a common
source of inspiration for the members mentioned. Huge Black Label Society -fans then decided
to form a cover-band playing mostly BLS -songs, and introduced Rami's schoolmate, Ari, to play
the bass. A few rehearsals took place during late 2008 and early 2009, but after school was out,
Ari faced a move elsewhere and the whole project was put to ice for the time being.
An idea to revive and renew the project came when Painshock fell slowly into hiatus due to
lack of talented drummers in the area, and failing to get a replacement, full work began to make
Doomsday Inc. reality for it's members. Tomi as the main songwriter also wrote the music for Painshock,
but his music was moving out of the original style and most of new songs were unfitting in the
usual Painshock set. Songs like "Hell on earth" and "Do us a favor" were seen more suitable
for Doomsday Inc., and the idea of a full cover-band was thrown away, and an idea to write
own songs was introduced.
During 2011 pieces began to fall in place. Aaro, a former Diatribes -guitarist came in to fill the
blank spot behind the drums. Despite him being a guitarist, he, as well as Tomi, started his musical
career behind the drumkit. Rami grabbed the bass, and Kari was brought in to take on the lead
guitar once again.
As 2012 goes, setlists are now being created and rehearsed. Later on there will be concentration
on a full acoustic set as well for smaller venues. Doomsday Inc. will make noise from this day
onward for many years to come, so we welcome you to enjoy the mindblowing music in the spirit
of Zakk Wylde, Black Label Society and "Dimebag" Darrell (may he rest in peace).
Stay Doomed!
