Finnish dark metal pioneer Mustan Kuun Lapset (est. 1993) went on a years-long hiatus in 2007. In 2009, while Mustan Kuun Lapset was still buried deep, its singer-guitarist Pete Lehtinen and drummer Mikko Hautala, together with Jari Turja, founded Septemberwolf; a death ‘n’ roll band. The language changed from Finnish to English. The following year, in March 2010, the trio played their debut gig, and soon recorded their first songs at their rehearsal space. One of these tracks, the fast-paced Wormrocket, was released that same year on the compilation album Kill City Twenty Five by Californian 272 Records. During their short career, Septemberwolf played gigs mainly in the Lahti and Helsinki areas in Finland.

In 2011, Turja became Septemberwolf’s guitarist while Lehtinen wanted to focus solely on vocals. Juha Koivistoinen joined the band as a new bassist. Unlike Jari, for whom Septemberwolf was the first band, Juha is known for many underground bands in the Lahti area. He currently plays guitar in the sludge metal band Taser.

As Jari started as a guitarist, he began to take a larger role in composing music. He wrote the songs Together we hang, Killed through every bone and Priesthunter. Pete had written most of the older songs, and some even dated back to the days of Häiriö (which was the original name of Mustan Kuun Lapset in 1993-1995). Dead Flesh Feast, performed at gigs and also available on YouTube, was originally a song by Häiriö, which was mainly composed by Mustan Kuun Lapset´s lead guitarist Pete Tamminen.

With this four-based line-up, Septemberwolf recorded a four-track EP in the spring of 2012 at Toni Laurila‘s NoiseNest studio in Nastola. For reasons that remain unknown, the album was never released, and the band quit that same year. Mustan Kuun Lapset reactivated in 2014-2015, and Septemberwolf’s EP was forgotten for years. More than a decade later, Lehtinen rediscovered it in his archives, and now it has finally been released to the world via Inverse Records. Abomination uncontrolled includes the aforementioned EP as well as two songs recorded in the band’s rehearsal space in 2010.
