Damones was founded in 1991 caused by depression, chaos and boredom. Actually it was a quite easy thing to do. One day in late spring I phoned Irwin. He was rather pissed off with his only pride, X-Beat. The team sucked in and pumped out guys and the final result was the fact that Irwin was left alone with a couple of nerds doing nothing but wanking and drinking lemonade.

I said to him that we should found a new team with very original name. In fact I have had the name in mind before the call. Irwin suggested we should been called as "The men who smuggled syphilis in Finland" or something Irwinly stupid. Anyway, I gave the name: Damones!

Irwin was full of joy and happiness when he heard the name. First I thought it was the most moron name for the team, but Irwin totally convinced me. So that was the beginning of our success. After a couple of days we got Hoffi in from Bloodsuckers. Frankly he mentioned he will never leave Bloodsuckers, but nowadays - I think - he has forgotten the whole team. After Hoffi we got Merit from Byterapers, and then Thrashman from Bloodsuckers. Well, I really can't remember if the memberships were given in this order, it won't change the history so bad. We had very warm meeting at Irwin's cottage, in Kustavi. The police arrived while after we had taken photos of our asses. Irwin pissed on me when sleeping beside. Legendary!

Five members was a good start. Irwin was our spiritual leader at that time, he took in the new members. Our sixth member Reward was only a temporary one, because he betrayed us. Our happy fellows like Hoffi and Irwin were having a rather boozy trip by car to Sweden with "motherfucking" Reward who was very damoned on the road but when he was taken to the partyplace he transformed back to Scoopex. So our boozy duo got a little bit pissed about it and left him there. I never asked Reward how he felt about it. At least I know he had to buy a flight ticket back home.

In 1992 we blackmailed a couple more new members as the finnish division of Magnetic Fields joined during the TP. Kevin, Duncan and Hi-Fi with his board were now part of Damones. Irwin also recruited Ringo, Darra, Balthazar and Rotsi. Casket joined and renamed himself as Fotze. Next year it went all over. As Irwin had said in an interview: "It was the Damones summer!". Well, at least we got FOUR releases on Amiga. Some people did not understand our point and we were misunderstood. A skinhead contacted me and asked for permission to join us and inform him about it in our next products which came out five years later. We were awesome people under the glance of compukefreaks. We were AMIGA freaks and despised PC-bastards. We had very nice trip to Denmark in the X-mas time. We boozed like hogs. We got the esteemed status. We were stars we thought so. In 1993 we released a dentro called Colors in 1289 coded by Tsunami from Virtual Dreams. It even made to the charts. We were a proud demoteam for a while. And after that a small intro called "Hoffi on Speed" by Wasp, nowadays known as Vesuri of Da Jormas. We lost lots of members in the early 90's to the different groups like Byterapers, Complex and Da Jormas. Lots of people also quit the whole scene.

I bought myself Amiga 4000 and I wished we have started the final breakthru, but the plan did not go so well I aspected. Irwin enlisted new members and I have to kick some chickenballs out. The years of 1994 and 1995 were catastrophic: no products, we were taken as a joke, other teams despised us. We lost our maincoders in Lappland; they won the first prize in Amiga democompo at Assembly 1994. Irwin was pissed off, I was depressed. I drank too much. Irwin continued enlisting members and I didn't care. I was giving up, King Booze had a hug on me. Hoffi traded on with his BBS. Irwin took the lead, I stayed behind for my own good.

In 1995 was the year when I bought my first PC. I considered buying it for a long time. In the same year I sold my dusty Amiga 4000, it did never work well. I was told later it got a couple of broken slots and it had caused lots of sorrow to next owners. I decided never to buy such a machine. I lost about 5000 FIM in the conficts of in-order and out-of-order. Well, I used the money for X-mas booze and chicks. VYVYAN t.u.m.b. decided to leave Accession and join the new leaders in the underground scene, Damones.

In 1996 I was living poor times, I got only less than 1900 FIM for daily unemployment benefit per month. I really didn't have money for nothing, at any rate not for boozing. Sometimes I just got to be blind drunk. I was less to know about things happening to Damones. Some day I got a call from some new members of ours, I gave some advice what to do (with an attitude like: leave me alone). I hated the world around me. There was no space to breathe. Damones seemed to be dead, Irwin had his own dj-stuff. The Earth was dying. I got in a school of theatre and drama. I had been interested in acting since January 1994. Anyway the first Boozembly was true at Assembly. It was disorganized by Accession - Complex and of course Damones. We had better success in boozing compos than in the boring demoscene. We were 1st and 3rd with two teams in the main Booze competition on Saturday night leaving Accession-Complex far behind. Well they lost us only by 2 seconds, tho. Exotic Men who were our challengers didn't success and they were something like 5th or 6th and passed out right after the competition around the parkinglot. Damones kept on trucking on that very special night. Also the infamous Boozembly Slide series saw the first time daylight but it was released at next Boozemblys 97. At Demolition partys Kakka was recruited who took the responsibility for coding the slides. At the same year also Flava joined the mighty posse of lost derelict souls. At Boozemblys Antibyte's strong vomiting made a big impression and he was taken in right away. He is also leader of Scoopex.

In 1997 I did nothing for Damones, I played only games and studied theatre and drama. And finally I sold my poor PC away and suffered three months without digital entertainment. So I was totally out of business. I began to drink like in the old days. I bought a new PC before X-mas. I couldn't leave Damones. I started subconsciously to get into the character of Zados, beer by beer. At the same time while Zados was drunk at home Duncan, Kakka and Flava kept up the Damones spirit up at several different parties, spreading the terror among the minor sceners and organizers. Boozembly had no longer any competitions, people only smoking weed and boozing at the footballfield area. CARNIFEX was forced to join to the darkside with his Sadistik Exekution board.

In 1998 the resurrection of Damones has begun by me in the spring. I took the full lead of everything. Hoffi arranged us a homesite which was held by The Megabrain (TMB). Frankly our damones.net was braindead till Kakka took the responsibility of webmastering. TMB left us because of his personal life. At Boozembly'98 we got own t-shirt. My face on it was so commercial that I was forced to sell them to non-members. After Boozembly I decided to give the lead to Duncan. All members were a bit confused of it, but I got my personal life too. In fact I am still the spiritual leader in spite of the change. Nowadays I am keen on shamanism. Our next step will be to conquer the skene and inherit the honour from the compukers in the world. We just keep on going the same way we have done until now. An italian spikehaired cut-throat c64 chip musician called Surfing joined during the Boozemblys. He is member in Fairlight and RamJam too.

In 1999 Damones is more alive than ever... Second place from Assembly99 PC democompo was something nobody couldnt believe in their wildest dreams, coded by Charly, who is also member in Essex. Boozembly99 was total failure in certain point of view... Lot of people were scattered around large area, no real BZM spirit was noticed at all, the place sucked massive and also lot of rookies were sighted there which lowered the happening more... But real saviour of the year was After Boozembly 99 in Italy, arranged by Damones, of course. Suckers stop to Boozembly but professionals keep on going. Many cool dudes participated our 7 days party like Wrek/Zymosis, Lutka/K!nky, Duncan & Kakka/Damones, Surfing & CPOWeR / RamJam and D-Deck. All together 12 days of insane boozing, getting toasted and little bit nudity among boys was really refreshing and stimulating. Slide-show with funny stoned pics soon available. Next year ABZM2 will be bigger, longer, uncut and filled with stronger alcohol and drugs and crackwhores, location maybe in Ibiza, Austria or Italy... Wait for invitation coming up.. naturally +i only Just want to remind you to show up at Radwar party in Germany, which is gonna be a real killer ride, atleast you can expect to see many our Damones alcoholics there. Forget TP, forget TG and forget ASM.. Save your money to Radwar! Other news: TMB aka. ReeBoK aka. Mahtiaivo rejoined us when he realized he cant live without Damones spirit... :) Charly became officially Damones member. Small meeting was held at near Lahti, Hollola. At least 10 teragigs of warez were burned and 100 litres of beer drank during the weekend by Hoffi, Ringo, Duncan, Kakka, Baltha, Darra and Anne plus two other dudes whose names i have forgot... Also funny pics soon available from this happening. To be continued when drunkness fades bit away..

In the beginning of year 2000 Damones didn't collapse or die on thirst, like some mad scientists and professors predicted so. It was a pretty good start for a new year, dont you think?! We visited also Radwar party in Germany what was a gathering of good old fellows from the past. More about that in report @ Confusion area and pics @ HorCabinet. Year 2K was also quite poor for Damones in scenish matters. No productions whatsoever were released. Many plans and promises turned out just a drunken frost and sexual fantasies. But FUN was atleast doubled at the same time. Fuck the productions anyway. Damones had two, summer and winter meetings in already familiar place, Ringo's summer cabin near Hollola county. At winter meeting we had also a featuring guest from DCS, more about him and meetings at Horrorcabinet area. Boozembly2K was very successful, i must admit i had great fears for the BZM, bcoz last year it was quite boring and fucked up in every way. I was wrong, everything was almost like in the past years. IMHO the place sucks still. Fortunately its not a long walk to the original Boozembly Hills. If you want to know more about BZM2K, you just must read the report (sorry its only in finnish atm) from Confusion area and check the pics from HorCabinet. Lots of smaller parties were visited as well and no! crappy parties didnt get on our way, what is amazing. Few misfits joined our derelict forces, Droid/Haujobb joined during Evoke party in Germany, Zinko/TRSI joined officially before being a partymember for many years:) and Jessika was recruited as support member by Zados in the end of year. Also one member was removed due to no interest and caring of all about Damones spirit. I hope he will get the spirit back some day. All together this year was socially a good one and i would rate it as 8+ in the scale 1 to 10. Concerning our damones.net, Kakka isnt anymore webmaster due to his busy at work and study, he was replaced by Threaz!. Oh... i almost forgot one of our italian member, CPOWeR, moved to Finland when he realized he cant get drunk enough in his home country:-) Next year Damones will have 10th! anniversary party somewhere in Finland, stay tuned!!

Over eleven years on the road. Nothing special has happened during the year 2002, a couple of releases and that's it. We are getting old – badly. No members enlisted. Too much unemployment, too much idleness. I am very confused with the leadership of Damones.

The first quarter of the year was very active, we had the (il)legendary 10.8-years party in the wilderness. After it the communication almost stopped. Duncan lost a fortune arranging the meeting and, I guess, got pissed off. I paid my part of the rent of the cottage with crunching teeth.

The summer was fucking hot and depressive. I didn't turn my computer on for many months. I was too upside down to write anything. I fed our mailing list with crazy ideas, but no positive receiving. Damones was a dying dinosaur, that's how I felt. Actually I can't remember anything what happened in the summertime. I guess I had fun, I guess had not. I don't care, and I am over thirty. Fuck. I feel like a teenager, everything is in confusion. No money, no pussy, only a broken arm. My brains are rotting as usual and I don't mind. I am just a white nigger and totally needless.

At Boozembly 2k2 Damones assembled together again. Everyone of us was giftedly drunk. I can recall nothing over the event. Sorry. Vyvyan joint the party after ten years of silencio. I was happy about it. Sadly I passed out on the third day – publicly. That's why I am feeling ancient. A couple of 12-packs and the sandman hits with his narcotics, geek! I am ashamed.

The rest of the year was like a quiet life in Buttsharington. Some translated texts of mine were released in December. And I am out of money, honey and bunny. The future is squeezing a feculent fart, I can smell it already. I am mummified. My career as a leader of Damones seems to be over. No respect for myself. I have sold my whip of God. No more war, just love and peace, phew! Next year shall bring forth its curses, but The Damones will swim over the river of Styx in world record time, eat my words. We will keep on shooting birds of ill omen, and that's the reason for living. Feed your Damones. Hate the society of injustice. Vote for yourself. Live.

THAT'S ALL FUCKS.
Give your opinion straight to me. It's true. The story is written from my personal point of view.

Zados of Damones

Apparently, that's it... More will follow?
Re-edited and black holes filled by DUNC and Balthazar =%D
A few members are still missing from the story due to major collective brain damage of ours.
Sorry about that. If you remember more or have something to add let us know!
