The band was formed in Uddevalla (Sweden) by Martin, Björn and Andreas, at the end of 1999 under the name Conspiracy. Conspiracy had 5 members, Micke P – Vocals, Martin – Drums, Jocke – Bass and Andreas and Björn on guitar. It was originally meant to be a heavy metal band but the music became faster and more aggressive then expected. It became more like thrash metal.
Martin decided to leave the band in autumn 2003 and Rikard joined Conspiracy as a new batterist. In autumn 2004 the lead singer Micke P decided to leave the band to focus on other projects. At the same time Jocke and Rikard also left the band. Andreas and Björn continued as a 2-member band until new members appeared. In January 2006 the new member Linn took place in Conspiracy as the singer. Niklas joined the band as the bass player in autumn 2006.
Four demos has been recorded under the band name Conspiracy with three songs each.
Oppressed for years, 2001
Conspiracy, 2002
Concert in sickness, 2003
All you ever feared, 2006
(Kalle from Grief of Emerald and Mastema, played the drums on â€All you ever fearedâ€.)
In spring 2007 Conspiracy switched name to Chtonium. The name changed because too many other bands had the same name, causing confusion among fans, and with new members joining, the name change was natural. Chtonium will continue the thrash metal Conspiracy began with, and spread the sound further. A new demo will be released in the summer of 2007, called “In Sour Groundâ€.
