In March ´07 Exsecratus did their first gig outside Finland. St.Petersburg accepted the band with arms wide open.
A week after that Exsecratus and K.Rautiainen went separate ways. The desicion was extremely difficult, but things weren´t working the way they were supposed to.
After few weeks of mourning, Tony Hentilä was announced as the new guitar player / back-up singer. This young fellow seemed perfect to fill the gap K.Rautiainen had left. And also his singing brought new dimensions in the clean parts of Exsecratus.
In May 2007 signed a record deal with Finnish label called Violent Journey records....And so the tale continues.
