Bio
.. .. .. .. .. .. One of the earlier Swedish Death Metal bands. Influenced by old school Death Metal/Grindcore acts, like Autopsy, Death, Repulsion, Carcass etc.. The act was formed by vocalist/guitarist Johan Liiva Axelsson, guitarist Michael Amott, bassist Johnny Dordevic and drummer Jeppe Larsson. The first demo released was called "The Day Man Lost" . Then, Larsson was substituted with Fred Estby. In 1989, the band release the live single “Torn Apart”. However, Axelsson resigned in order to form another project. Likewise, Dordevic quit Carnage, who continued with vocalist Matti Kärki and guitarist David Blomquist. The band subsequently recorded the demo Infestation of Evil, which was met with critical acclaim from the press. In 1990, Carnage released one classic called Dark Recollections, with three of the five were in Dismember within a year of the album's release. "Dark Recollections" represents the pure Swedish Death Metal with heavy powerful underground sound, played with violence, morbidity in best Scandinavian Death Metal old tradition. Carnage is perhaps principally renown for its prominent members that moved on to the elite of the Swedish Metal scene following the split, but the band produced one of the earliest Death Metal efforts in Scandinavia.... .. .. .. .. .. ..
