In 2009 guitarist and songwriter Sebastian Fjordevik decided that the time was right to try and find an outlet for the songs he had been writing so contacted screamer Christopher Kristensen and singer Nils-petter Nilsson, to work on a twin vocal attack while experienced death metal drummer Tommy Magnusson also came on board. The line-up was completed by second guitarist Johan Olofsson and bassist Kristoffer Lindh. An unusual element of the band is that they seem themselves as fashion-conscious, and instead of wearing the normal jeans and black t-shirt that is the normal uniform of metalheads instead wore suits and ties, and so soon found themselves being sponsored by Iceman Fashion. It’s a little different to the normal sort of sponsorship that metal bands normally receive!
Musically they describe themselves as melodic modern metalcore, and if that means that they perceive themselves as a cross between Killswitch Engage, Bullet For My Valentine and Disturbed with more than a hint of Trivium then they are bang to rights. It is definitely very melodic without losing any of the really heavy influences, and if you enjoy any of the above bands (especially Bullet) then this is for you.
