After studying at the Helsinki Conservatory for a year and the Berklee College of Music in Boston for three, Raoul Björkenheim relocated to Finland where he played in bands with Jone Takamäki, Antti Hytti and Tom Nekljudow, and later went on to work with composer and drummer Edward "Eetu" Vesala (1945-1999). After four years of Vesala's strict leadership Björkenheim felt a need to leave Sound & Fury behind and direct all of his attention towards Krakatau. Svart Records releases an expanded double LP version of Krakatau's 'Ritual'. Including previously unreleased tracks on disc 2.
