Gashouse Garden was founded in 2003 by Kristian Ranta of Norther and Jaska Raatikainen of Children of Bodom. Jaska and Kristian had been thinking of forming a possible project band for some time. Jaska asked his old friend Jaakko Teittinen from Craydawn to join the band because a second guitarist was needed due to the nature of the songs Kristian had been writing. Kristian's friend Lauri Porra (bassist of Sinergy, Kotipelto, and Warmen) was hired after "sitting in" on a rehearsal. The vocalist, Mersta, was hired after Kristian heard her karaoke singing AC/DC songs in a bar. The first demo was recorded at Janne Wirman's studio in Helsinki.
