Khiral

Khiral's story began in the fall 2008 from a three-member rock band called Ivana Red, manned by Pete Raatikainen in drums, Joni Öhman in bass and Mari Sevonen doing the vocals. Guitarist's post was fulfilled by Matti Hämäläinen in the end of 2008. The band was making songs and inventing itself for the spring 2009. Joni, Pete and Matti were driving the band in a metal-style direction, whereas Mari preferred a more melodic approach. In the fall 2009 Mari decided it was time to move on.
