Cutdown was formed in late 2001 without any ideologies or political agendas in mind. The only goal was to play hard music and to have some fun. The band started as a four-piece but the amount of members grew to five soon after the first show; the need to get the sound more powerful seemed to require two guitarists. During its somewhat short existence Cutdown has gotten lots of positive feedback of the energetic shows they've been playing in Finland and abroad so it was about time to capture the energy on CD.
