The Birth Of Maple Cross
Maple Cross was formed in 1985 under a different moniker. The first line-up was: Marko Siekkinen (guitar), Ville Hyry (drums), Ilkka Heino (guitar), Mika Karppinen (bass) and Petri Puolitaival (vocals). At the time they were called Ace.With that line up they recorded a demo called “Sacred To The Memory Of Ace”, about same time they changed their name to Maple Cross and the singer P. Puolitaival was sacked due to quarrels of musical opinions and desires. Soon after that Marco R.J. took his Place. This change gave Maple Cross the opportunity to create and use the ideas which had been crossing their minds for a long time.
At the end of 1988 Maple Cross recorded their second demo titled “Thirteen Witches…But One Of Them”, in the Soundmix-studios. This was also the first time they worked with Dr. Nixu Nikula. The demo was a success and it earned good reviews everywhere. Soon after the recordings they gave the bass player M. Karppinen the boot. A few days later they hired Nico Christian who brought his new ideas and skills to the band. This is the line-up that is still considered to be the original line-up of Maple Cross:
Marko Siekkinen: guitar
Nico Christian: bass
Ilkka Heino: guitar
Marco R.J.: vocals
Ville Hyry: drums
After some hard touring and several Months of training Maple Cross was ready to enter the studios again. This time the sound was heading for the new direction.
