...the story of Bombstrike starts in the fall of 97.
We were at that time living in a small village called Storfors, and coz we are not into Volvo-cars
and soccer we started to play "music". We took the name "BASTARD FETTO" and the first line-up was:
We did not record anything with this line-up and in the summer of 98 we sort of split up...
But a few months later when the most of us had moved to a town called Karlskoga, we found a
new drummer in Zwemp (Mörder) and started to play again. He did not want to be a member but
agreed to help us do a demo... But now we were only 3 losers in the band but we played on with
only drums and guitar... We also decided to change our name to Bombstrike. And that line-up was:
Kraister : Vocals
Chris : Guitar
Zwemp : Drums
Our first demo "...and the silence" was recorded 990213 and it contained 4 songs + 1 cover of "Ögon" by
Hidden Industrials. That tape was sent to some labels and zines and most of the people who got it
liked it but complained about the sound-quality. (It sucked !!!)
A couple of these songs can be found on some compilation-tapes.
After this demo Zwemp left the band coz he was tired of playing drums. Witch was the main reason
why he did not want to play in the first place. (he has played drums about 10-15 years and has now
grown sick and tired of It, and at the moment he´s singing in Mörder.)
A couple of months later we found a bass player called Lasse and a drummer called Mange. We started to
practice more often and in august we did our first gig. It was at the "Stranddagarna" festival in
Karlskoga. And how did it go??? Well... Marina,14 said: Yeah!! It was awesome! All the bands were great,
besides that band that played first; (Bombstrike) they were just screaming!!! (shaking her head) HAHAH !!
So at that period the line-up was:
Kraister : Vocals
Chris : Guitar
Lasse : Bass
Mange : Drums
990826 we entered the SoundLab Studio to record our 2:nd demo "Tomorrow Hero". It contains 6 songs and
some of them will also appear on compilations...
In the year of 2000 Bombstrike played some gigs in Karlskoga, Jönköping and Trondheim, Norway..
And 00.11.02 we recorded 15 songs in the Avesta located "Black Lounge Studio" with Jonas Kjällgren
from Dellamorte wich was released in July 2002 by Yellow Dog Records.
During that recording Zwemp got back in the band and is now a full-fime member... Lasse quit the band so Mange is
playing the bass instead of drums.
After the release of the "Kaos och Djävulskap" CD/LP Yellow Dog Records organized a 12-gig tour in Euorpe
in Sep-Oct... Visited countrys where Germany, the Czech Rep. and Holland.
2003: The Black Lounge Studio was once again booked for the recording of a new
crust-core attack and 2 gigs were played in Finland in Feb-March. And a new member.. Fenok, from the grind-maniacs SCURVY
joined the troop to crank up the distortion on his bass and go Cliff Burton on our sorry asses. So, the new line-up:
Kraister : Vocals
Chris : Guitar
Mange : Guitar
Fenok : Bass
Zwemp : Drums
During the summer of 2003 we played a few gigs around Sweden, and some festivals...
The 7" "Livets låga slocknar" was released by Yellow Dog Records in September, and in November we returned
to the Black Lounge Studio to record our side to a split-7" with Legion 666 from Canada.
In 2004 we made another change in the line-up. Mange, the 2:nd guitarist has been replaced
by Johan (a.k.a Bosse) from Scurvy/Repugnant.
During the summer of 2004 we did two tours. One in the U.K were Zwemp, sadly, left the band coz if personal reasons.
Instead, Fenok started playing the drums... A few weeks later we headed for Germany and Austria, this time with Bosse
playing the bass.
When we got back, Bosse wanted to play guitar again so Gurra a.k.a "Loggan" (Subvision/Repugnant) joined the band...
In 2005 Loggan quit the band since his other band, Subvision, took to much time. But we did record 10 songs with this line up,
to be used on two split-LP's.
In the summer of 2005 we got back on the european roads again, touring Germany, Austria, France, Holland, Belgium and The Czech Rep.
Since we prefer two guitars in the band, we brought on yet another new member into our family. This time is was our long time friend from
"back home", Martin. (Circle A/Decontrol/Butchery)
Martin did'nt want to play the bass so he played guitar and Chris played bass. Well, back from the tour, Bosse left... But he got back again shorty after.
Or in his own words: Bombstrike is like a venereal disease, once you got it, you can't get rid of it, but you learn to live with It.
In November 2005 we toured Finland with Murder Junkies (USA), playing 3 gigs in Finland and 1 in Åland, the island between Finland and Sweden.
And finally, in 2006, we agreed to stop this "I don't wanna play bass" nonsense... So now we all play bass and rotate every gig. Hehehe...
So the line-up right now:
Kraister : Vocals
Chris : Guitar, Bass
Bosse : Guitar, Bass
Martin : Guitar, Bass
Fenok : Drums
During the x-mas 2006 we entered the HELTER SKELTER studio in Stockholm with our former bas player Loggan as the crustcore wizard, giving us the sound of the apocalypse. This ended in 16 tracks of Christ-denying, we prefer drugs, this is as good as it gets, soon to be released as a CD/LP of Sthlm misery. We guess that 12-14 of the songs will be on the album, called "BORN INTO THIS".
To be released by POWER IT UP REC. from Germany in JUNE 2007.
