Damnation

The name Damnation continues to be used lots of times in the rock world. Damnation continues to be the name of the California punk music group, an Argentinian power steel music group, and a Canadian thrash steel/speed steel music group, aswell as death steel/black steel rings from Poland and Indonesia, and there’s been a German music group called Damnation. However the Damnation profiled within this bio can be an underground Swedish steel trio, and “underground” certainly is the word to spell it out the Stockholm-based clothing, which has mixed death steel and black steel with thrash steel and speed steel. Despite a long time in the trenches, Sweden’s Damnation hasn’t liked much commercial achievement — also by death steel and black steel specifications — and their recordings have already been few in number. The group’s obscurity includes a lot regarding the actual fact that Damnation’s three people — Richard Cabeza on lead vocals and electric guitar, Björn Gramell on bass, and Peter Stjärnvind on drums — possess kept active with a number of various other rings in the ‘90s and 2000s (a few of them far better known). Cabeza is a a part of at least seven additional Nordic rings, including Dismember, Unleashed, Carbonized, and General Medical procedures, while Stjärnvind’s affiliations possess included Entombed, Regurgitate, and Loud Pipes. Gramell, in the mean time, is perhaps most widely known for his association having a music group called Charred Remains to be. Obviously, Cabeza, Gramell, and Stjärnvind possess regarded Damnation like a part project; non-etheless, Damnation continues to be active for a long period (albeit within an on-again/off-again style). The trio was created in 1989, and Damnation was still adding to the Nordic metallic picture 15 years later on in 2004 (and carrying on to fly beneath the radar). Although not really a punk music group by itself, the Swedish headbangers are certainly punk-influenced, plus they certainly identify with the type of gut-level rawness that characterized old-school punk back the past due ‘70s and early ‘80s. There’s a extremely primitive, garage-like quality to Damnation, whose affects (a few of them from Traditional western Europe, a few of them from america) possess included Venom, Celtic Frost, Bathory, as well as the seminal Motörhead, aswell as Slayer, Napalm Loss of life, and Megadeth. And their function hasn’t changed quite definitely on the way; in 2004, several reviewers commented on what stylistically, Damnation experienced maintained their devotion towards the past due ‘80s and early ‘90s. Damnation is constantly on the recall a time where thrash steel was giving method towards the even more extreme (but similarly punk-influenced) death steel/black steel field — a period when the blistering Slayer was regarded both thrash and loss of life steel. Although Damnation documented some little-known demos in the ‘90s (including 1995’s Divine Darkness), it got them 15 a long time out using their initial full-length record. Their debut record finally noticed the light of time in 2004, when Candlelight released Destructo Evangelia in america.
