was formed back in –96 by drummer Johan Karlsson, guitarist Jimmy
Larsson and Erik Andersson on guitar/vox in a small town in Sweden called
Ed. A couple of years and gigs later the band turned into a two pieced trash/death
combo. Unfourtunately Erik and the bassist at the time left the band when
they moved to another city. Soo when they turned into the studio to put their first “real” demo
called “Forgotten” to a
cd, Johan tried to put his throut to the music – and it turned out very
well! There was good respons from the mags. and companys all over the
world. In Brave New Words #4 (S) there are an full page interview with the
band and also one in Phillipines Bakal Zine.+ a lot of good reviews of the
demo. “Forgotten” made the Swedish record company VOD Records open their
eyes for the band – and they simply asked the band to be on their “
Voices Of Death – Part 5” compilation (release spring – 02). Before all this happened – the band had entered the studio in Ed once
again and the follow up - the four track demo “Serenade Of Sadism” was
all set and done. So when VOD Records asked for a song, they go into
another studio (Metamorphosis Studio) and re-record the title track
“Serenade Of Sadism”. For the compilation cd. Together with this a mag. from the Philipphine (!) asked them to be
featured on their cassett to the next nr. of their paper mag.
This time they sent “Triumphant” away. They have now looked for an singer, they found one – Karl Kronlid –
but it didn´t work out the way the band wanted it to, soo he was simply
kicked out of the band. They have also recorded a new demo cd called
“Seductors Manual” where Johan also sings with clean vocals!!! At 2002 they played a lot of gigs – for ex. One at The Slave To Metal
Night Part II and one on 2000 Decibel Festival in Bengtsfors, Sweden
together with band such as ENTOMBED, DISMEMBER, OPETH, WITCHERY, SATARIEL,
MANINNYA BLADE and SATARIEL… A big and important gig. They was also
interviewed by Swedens leading radio program – P3, where they also
played the track “Second Me” on the best air time!!! NEWS 030203:
