TWILIGHT was a precursor to Vaasa Death Metal band DEATHBOUND. The 2002 DEATHBOUND membership roster boasts a worthy Death Metal pedigree with frontman Kai Jaakkola holding down a reputation with DUSKFALL, NECROMICON and MONSTER SPANK, guitarist Petri Seikkula citing credits with BLACK DAWN as well as AND OCEANS, bassist Tommi Kontz activity with HELLMASKER and drummer Mika Q claiming AND OCEANS, BLACK DAWN and ROTTEN SOUND credentials.

The group has its roots in the early 90's act UNBOUND. By 1995 the title of TWILIGHT had been put into effect, this band starting life with a roster of vocalist Kai Jaakkola, guitarist Petri Seikkula, bassist Tommi Konu and Toni Erkkilä on the drums. In this incarnation TWILIGHT issued a brace of demos 'Twilight', in December 1995, and 'The Melancholy Of The Northern Landscapes' before the band was put on hold due to the intrusion of Finland's national service policy. Activity was sporadic until 1998 when the band regrouped with the addition of BEYOND DREAMS guitarist Fred Andersson and drummer Robert Sundelin of SATARIEL and an ex-member of NECROMICON. Konu, as 'Hellkuntz', participated in recording of the Swedish band HELLMASKER's 'Probably The Best Band In The World' demo. The band recorded the 'Flames Of Madness' demo in September 1999 upon completion of which Andersson's place was taken by NECROMICON's Nick Sundqvist.

During 2000 the decision was taken to revert back to the formative title of UNBOUND due to the increasing media presence of the Italian Power Metal band TWILIGHT. Bringing in Mikael Sandorf on the drums the band laid down a fresh demo 'Elaborate The Torture' in November 2000 before switching the group name again - this time to DEATHBOUND as Blastmor of THYRANE became next in line to occupy the drum stool but by 2002 Mika Q hadtaken the role.
