Biography

It is not uncommon for metallic bands over time to give up or shift designs, starting out while death or dark metallic clothes and transforming — for several reasons, including advancement of skill, music maturity, a have to explore new place, new users, different creation, etc. — into something quite different. Some rings have shed dark metallic cacophony for symphonic power metallic; others have gone death metallic behind to get more textural and specialized intensifying pastures. For users of such famous Swedish metallic rings as Opeth, Katatonia, and — well, Dan Swanö was a pressure unto himself — the desire to start out a project that could protect and promote a “purer” edition of Swedish loss of life metallic was among the maximum importance; therefore the creation of Bloodbath, probably not just a quest for the maintenance from the design, but a chance for bandmembers to accomplish something just a little different stylistically than that of their “primary” bands. Created in Stockholm in 1999, the initial lineup of the Swedish loss of life supergroup, Mikael Åkerfeldt (Opeth, Katatonia, Metal), Anders “Blakkheim” Nyström (Katatonia, Bewitched), Jonas Renske (Katatonia), and these Dan Swanö (who caused almost every Swedish metallic music group and musician for some reason or another), released their debut EP, Mating Loss of life, in 2000. The EP developed quite a mix, and the music group was shifted to record and to push out a full-length. That record, Resurrection Through Carnage, strike shops in 2002. With Opeth’s superstar rising, Åkerfeldt got keep of Bloodbath in 2004, and Swanö produced the leap from drums to electric guitar. To be able to cover the vacancies still left by all of the active, Bloodbath roped in Hypocrisy vocalist Peter Tägtgren and Witchery (and finally Opeth) drummer Martin “Axe” Axenrot. This brand-new edition of Bloodbath produced an instant turnaround and released record number 2, Nightmares Produced Flesh, in 2004. Even though music group had become relatively much more serious — not significant that Katatonia had been in any risk, actually — 2005 would start to see the departure of Tägtgren, nonetheless it would also start to see the come back of Åkerfeldt, even though first event, the band’s well-received — rather than to say exceedingly uncommon — live appearance at that year’s Wacken Open up Air Event in Germany. Swanö would also contact it a day time after the display, and another year or two noticed Bloodbath keeping a minimal profile, buying fresh vocalist and a fresh guitarist. In 2007, Bloodbath came back towards the metallic public’s interest, announcing fresh guitarist Per “Sodomizer” Eriksson (21 Lucifers, Genocrush Ferox) and that the music group was focusing on a fresh EP, to become entitled Unblessing the Purity. In January of 2008, Åkerfeldt came back towards the fold because the group’s vocalist, and required on vocal responsibilities around the EP, that was released in March of this 12 months. The four-song EP was after that accompanied by the long-awaited live Compact disc/DVD from the infamous 2005 Wacken Event gig, entitled The Wacken Carnage, as well as the group’s third full-length outing, The Fathomless Mastery. 2012 noticed Åkerfeldt keep the fold once again, and in 2014 the music group brought in Heaven Shed vocalist Nick Holmes to fill up the vacancy. Holmes’ debut outing using the group, 2014’s Grand Morbid Funeral, also presented guest looks from Autopsy’s Chris Reifert and Eric Cutler.
