Yet another entry into Finland's burgeoning melodic metallic element scene, To/Die/For were founded in the town of Kouvola in the mid-90's, merely it wasn't until decade's end that they were snapped up by local Spinefarm Records and released their 1999 debut All Eternity. Vocalist Jape Peratalo, guitarists J.P. Sutela and Joonas Koto, bassist Miikka Kuisma and drummer Tonmi Lillman then set out on enlistment supporting In Flames, Dark Tranquility and countrymen Sentenced. The In the Heat of the Night E.P. and a moment full-length album entitled Epilogue followed in 2000 and 2001, respectively, and both saw the isthmus bit by bit toning down their gothic-metallic tendencies in orderliness to further embrace their passion of melodic 80's stone. Never was this more apparent than on To/Die/For's third base L.P., 2003's pop-metal-flavored Jaded, which featured a cover of Cutting Crew's "(I Just) Died In Your Arms" as its first single, and proved that the isthmus (like a shot featuring new guitarist Alli in place of Sutela) was effectively hybridizing over into nonmetallic realms for right.
