Omnispawn was born in the dark autumn mist of 2005 by two At the Gates-fans named
Rickard and Markus, at that time as a guitar-duo called Darkest Days. Darkest Days
remained until winter 2006 when local drummer Daniel joined them and the trio
decided to change name to Flatline. After settling into a rehearsal room in Ronneby,
and with a newly found ability to create music at a higher level, Flatline simply
started working on some new material together.
Despite the lack of a bassplayer and a vocalist, the flame kept on burning and the trio
was perfectly happy with playing the songs over and over and over on a weekly basis.
It later came to their attention that the name Flatline was in use by a large number of
other bands worldwide, so after some hard thinking and research, Flatline transformed
into Omnispawn. With a fully developed "personal sound", Omnispawn was ready to add
more members to the line-up, in order to take the music to even higher levels.
In June of 2007, a number of bassplayers tried out for Omnispawn, and the most competent
was Charlie, an old friend to Markus. Basstracks was written into the songs and made
a huge difference in many parts of the Omnispawn sound. 80% of the band was now complete
and the appetite for a vocal shredding monster grew into almost enormous proportions.
At the end of 2007 and forward, a variety of vocalists tried out for Omnispawn, until
the beginning of 2008, when a vocalist named John e-mailed a sample of his insanly brutal voice.
With a lot of anger towards almost everything, Omnispawn focused on writing lyrics for the songs,
and suddenly, a real band had emerged from what once was a silhouette consisting of drum machines
and mistuned guitars.
With a message that the world simply isn't the green meadows and the flowers that people would
like to think, the band stands ready to downgrade this "thruth version 1.2" with the aggressive
but melodic tunes that is Omnispawn. To be continued...
