Helsinki stoner/doom act Mannhai was formed in the end of 1999 by guitarist Ilkka Laaksomaa and erstwhile Amorphis bassist Oppu Laine. Shortly after forming they were accompanied by a young drummer, Junior Pietinen. The band's quick composing process led them to the studio only four months later, where they recorded three songs, which were still completely instrumental. With those three heavy tracks, Joanitor Muurinen, the ex-Xysma frontman, was allured to the band.
