Biography

Crystalic is a melodic death metal band from Finland.

Line-up:
Lasse Heinonen - vocals (Garcharot)
Toni Tieaho - guitar (Falchion)
Mikko Mattila - guitar (ex-Dreamtale)
Arto Tissari - fretless bass (ex-Korpiklaani, Masterstroke)
Timo Hanhijoki - drums (Corpset)

History:
It all began in 1998 at a local youthcenter’s bombshelter in Tampere. Guitarist Toni Tieaho formed Crystalic, wanting to play his kind of music. In the beginning the band suffered from a lack of interest by the other members and Crystalic was put on ice at the end of 1999. After three years of silence and Tieaho focusing on some other band projects Crystalic was resurrected in 2002, with a completely new line-up. The new line-up besides Tieaho consisted of Arto Tissari on bass, Jarno “Frank” Moberg on vocals and two session players from Masterstroke, namely Niko Rauhala on guitar and backing vocals and Janne Juutinen on drums. With this line-up the band recorded a new demo and played a few local gigs. After a while the session guys went their way to concentrate on their own band and Crystalic got a new drummer in Matti Johansson and later in 2005 Erik Grönroos on guitar.

Tissari and Johansson were also both playing in Korpiklaani besides Crystalic and when the schedules with both bands were getting busy they had to make a choice which band was to be their priority. Tissari left Korpiklaani and chose Crystalic, Johansson stayed in the Klaani camp. Timo Hanhijoki was soon selected as the new drummer after convincing the guys that he was truly a perfect choice.
