Atakhama is a five-piece extreme metal band hailing from Finland. The band came to existence in April 2004 as a collective decision of Rahikainen, Honkonen, Häkkinen and J-V Hintikka, when they decided to lay their previous band, Funeris Nocturnum to rest. It was time to take a fresh new start, as they felt that with the old band they could no longer achieve what they were after. During the spring, summer and autumn the band worked hard on new material and gave finishing touches to late Funeris Nocturnum songs they had composed before the decision to break up the band had been made.
