About Me

Buy our album here


The Divine Baze Orchestra was founded by Oliver Eek and Christian Eklöf in 2003. Alexander Frisborg and Tobias Petterson soon joined the band and years of excessive gigging and writing followed.
In 2006 the line-up was completed with Daniel Karlsson. Shortly after recording their highly regarded debut album, Tobias left the band for personal reasons.
Bass player Joel Berntson (GRYNINGSTID, NANGIALA etc) was asked to join and he accepted the invitation.

Described often as raw, unusual, innovative and interesting, The Divine Baze Orchestra never seize to impress audiences and critics around the globe, be it on stage or on record. Lately DBO has started taking a stand against the crimes against nature that are being committed by people around the world.
