Obligatorisk Tortyr (New cd out now!)

The Gothenburg unsound

About Me

Formed in 98, released a self titled record on Osmose Records 2001. Shortly after that the drummer split. Unsuccessful search for drummers until 2005, when Stefan Karlsson, originally a guitar player, was up to the challenge. Our 2nd full length album Återförödelse (which is a very witty word play on "rebirth" and "destruction") was released in December 2007 on the German label Power it up. Currently new songs are being written for the next cd, and gigs are being sought.
