History & Biography
The band hailed from Sweden and was formed in 2001. A band with the same name operated in France as well. The group operated for a couple of years until it found singer Nyman at a local music house. Nyman was idling writing punk rock songs. The Mentzer brothers have a musical pedigree with their uncle, Christer Mentzer, having sung for Silver Mountain. Following three demos, the band found a label in 2009 and would release an album, called The Darkest Room, in June through AFM Records. The band was confirmed for 2009’s edition of Peace & Love Festival in Borlänge, Sweden. Pether "Pete" Mentzer left in 2013. Richard "Rikki" Mentzer followed him out in 2014. The band played a few concerts in 2018 and toured Europe in 2019. Several concerts in 2022 and a headliner tour called Armageddon Tour 2023, with Mentalist and Generation Steel, in 2023 were next.
