Where Victims Lie is a thrash metal band from Jyväskylä, Finland. The origins of the band can be traced back to 2000, when Petosalmi (then of Timo Rautiainen & Trio Niskalaukaus, ex-Paraxism, ex-Sacred Crucifix) and Hakkola (ex-Unveiled (FIN), ex-Alghazanth, ex-Sotajumala) influenced by the likes of Death, Slayer, At the Gates, Stone, Sepultura and Morbid Angel) talked about starting an aggressive thrash metal band and soon asked Rahikainen (ex-Funeris Nocturnum, Atakhama) to join them. In January 2003 it was time to enter the rehearsal room and start jamming with Häkkinen (Sotajumala, ex-Atakhama). It took two months to compose four songs that would eventually make up the first demo. Nils Ursin (Petosalmi’s bandmate from Trio Niskalaukaus and Paraxism) was recruited to play the bass and so the studio was booked for May.

First live performance took place in September 2003 at Kickstart indoor festival in Jyväskylä. Crowd response was overwhelming and the first batch of demos was sold out even before the doors were opened! Two more shows were played in December: Deathroit indoor festival in Jyväskylä, Tanssisali Lutakko and The Fragile Art of Existence, Tribute to Chuck Schuldiner in Tampere. Two brand new songs were debuted at these shows and again the crowd response was amazing!

Unfortunately due to overriding priorities with other bands, after these shows it was time to put Where Victims Lie on hiatus.

Where Victims Lie started showing signs of life again in the late summer of 2006 and soon the band was back on track again.
