Finnish symphonic black/death metal band from Oulu, Finland.
The story of Astray begun in 1998 when Markku Pääkkönen and Vesa Moilanen
decided to bang their aching heads together to feed up their need to create dark
and aggressive music. By combining their strengths together; Markku\'s melancholic,
atmospheric and doomy but aggressively crushing compositions - mixed with
Vesa's sick lyrical expression - created the basic what Astray is all about:
Darkness. Hate. Depression.
