About Me

LIMBUS is a Swedish punk rock band with many influences, but no idols. LIMBUS blends furious riffs with epic, melodic choruses, ear-twisting solos with existential cries. We are four guys with a craze for making and performing music. Three of us have been playing together for 7 years, with a shorter pause in the middle. When we started again in the spring of 2006, with a new guitar player in the team, we started to realize that this band was meant to be serious. We started recording a promo CD, and did lots of live shows around in Sweden. That even added some live experience to the one we already had earned in our previous years. We are long time friends, we have lots of laughs together, and cant imagine ever breaking up.
Our lyrics are political and subversive poems directed at the heart of society. But they are often disguised under a mythical, symbolic language in order to bring magic and passion into an English language that has been watered out by the music industry. We believe that expressing oneself in a way that throws the listener into a state of insecurity and questioning can be just as important as conveying an important message.
The promo CD consists of 4 songs recorded, mixed and mastered in around 30 hours in toto and with a result that had us all very pleased. We can only imagine what could be done with more studio time. We create new material all the time, and have to rehearse a lot to be able to learn them, since we also spend lots of time in perfecting our live set.
