Originating from the vibrant music scene of Turku, Finland,SARS<\/strong>\u00a0emerged in 2016 as a collective vision to forge a sound rooted in\u00a0“Hatebreed inspired metallic hardcore\u201d<\/em>. However, it wasn’t until 2019 that the band took its definitive form, with the foundational trio of\u00a0Timo Heikkil\u00e4<\/strong>\u00a0(drums),\u00a0Sami Leinonen<\/strong>\u00a0(guitar), and\u00a0Juuso Linsamo<\/strong>\u00a0(guitar) laying the groundwork for what would become a powerful musical force.

The ensemble gained further momentum in 2020 with the addition of the dynamic vocalist,\u00a0Antti Honkanen<\/strong>, bringing a visceral energy to their evolving sound. The final piece of the puzzle fell into place later that year when bassist\u00a0Vilho Laaksonen\u00a0<\/strong>joined, solidifying the band’s lineup.

SARS<\/strong>‘ initial foray into the music scene saw them collaborate with the legendary\u00a0Keijo Niinimaa<\/strong>\u00a0(known for his work with\u00a0Rotten Sound<\/strong>,\u00a0Morbid Evils<\/strong>, and\u00a0Goatburner<\/strong>). This collaboration resulted in the release of their first three singles, during which\u00a0Keijo<\/strong>\u00a0shared vocal duties with\u00a0Antti<\/strong>. Notably,\u00a0Keijo<\/strong>\u00a0also took on the roles of tracking and producing the first two singles, contributing his wealth of experience to shape the band’s early sonic identity.

However, the journey took an unexpected turn in 2022 when\u00a0Keijo<\/strong>, facing scheduling conflicts and commitments to his other well-established projects, had to step away from\u00a0SARS<\/strong>. Despite his departure, the band continued to evolve, drawing on the foundation laid during their collaboration with\u00a0Keijo<\/strong>.

SARS<\/strong>\u00a0stands as a testament to the enduring spirit of collaboration and evolution within the music scene, carving their path with a blend of metallic hardcore and unapologetic intensity. As they forge ahead, the band remains poised to leave an indelible mark on the global heavy music landscape.
