A.R.G. were one of the household name in Finnish speed/thrash metal scene in late 1980's and early 1990's together with Stone and Airdash. Back then, the band recorded two albums for Megamania label. A.R.G. got torn apart by members' studies. In 2011 the band got together except for the deceased drummer, and in 2012 Spinefarm reissued the old albums.

The band played many club and festival shows and new material began to appear. Now it has become flesh as a new album. This Summer, A.R.G. will play some shows again, plus club and pub gigs in Autumn. Prior to this, the album will be released around Europe in late Summer.
