About Me


CAUSTIC STRIKE came together for the first time in November 2004, when singer and guitarist Olof Wikstrand (Corrupt, Enforcer, Oppression) along with guitarist Robin Holmberg (The Shattering, Skörda, Schizophrenia) met to record a three-song demotape. To complete a recording lineup they needed a drummer and Olof's brother Jonas (ex-Hazard) was brought in. During the three days that followed the band (at this time with a different name, LEPROSY) recorded what eventually turned out to be "Trapped in Rage", a three-song bay area-influenced thrash release, including the tunes "Trapped in Rage", "Dead While Living" and "You are Next". In the six months that followed, "Trapped in Rage" (later released on cassette by Final Punishment Records) got great reviews but since there was no actual band, not much happened. In the summer of 2005 a second demo was recorded, with the same lineup as before (Olof, Robin, Jonas). "Straight down the drain" saw the light in late August, and the band was scheduled for their first gig in October. Now was the time to add a bass player to the roster, and the band chose Max Grahn, who had played in various constellations with Robin over the past years. Now, in October 2006, the band will do some shows, then return to the studio for a third recording. Stay tuned for more.
