Overview
Overview
Neither record sold well, and EMI was not supportive of the band's plan to move into thrash metal, so the band formed Sakara Records in 2003 to produce their own music. The Finnish metal band Stam1na, formed in 1996, was also struggling to gain interest from mainstream labels, and became the second group to sign up with Sakara, releasing their self-titled debut in the spring of 2005. In January 2008 the Finnish metallers Diablo signed up with Sakara Records to record their fifth album "Icaros". Records next signed up Black Bile, and in April 2008 issued Black Bile's debut album "Great Ape Language". In 2006, the label issued Sakara Tour 2006, a live DVD from the 2006 joint tour of the label's three bands Mokoma, Stam1na and Rytmihäiriö at Nosturi in Helsinki, Teatria in Oulu and Rytmikorjaamo in Seinäjoki.
