About Me

The metal/hardcore band DESPITE originally started back in 1998 in Angered, a suburb of Gothenburg, Sweden. The founding members were Fredrik Meister and Timmy Leng. DESPITE recorded three demos between the year 1998-2001 and played a few gigs and talent-shows around the Gothenburg area. DESPITE recorded the demo "Human" in may of 2004 at P.H Studios with help from Pontus Hjelm and the talented singer and songwriter Jimmie Strimell. After a few years in the winter of 2006 the guitarist John Lidén joined the band and in mars 2007 Jimmie left the band. Some changes had to made since the band was without a singer and a lead guitarist. So Timmy took the position as the lead guitarist and reqruited Joseph Astorga as the new drummer. DESPITE is still standing stronger than ever and ready to kick som ass on the stages around the globe. real editor best profile tools real editor best profile tools
