Damien is a hardcore/metal-band (the expression is worn out, but it works) hailing from Karlstad, Sweden. The band was formed in early 2003 by four guys with lots of experience from other Swedish bands, some more successful than others. Originally, Damien started out as a quartet but after only a few rehearsals a second guitarist was recruited to evolve the sound and make the live performances heavier and more massive.
After a couple of months rehearsing the band was asked to play the infamous Deadfest in Linköping (Sweden) with bands like Walls of Jericho and Undying. Damiens performance was a complete success and the response was way better than expected. The band was of course psyched about this and went home to Karlstad to rehearse even more. This resulted in a couple of more live shows and finally a five song demo recording during the summer of 2004.
Once again the response was overwhelming and Damien was elected "Best in Sweden" (band of the month) in Swedens biggest metal magazine, Close-Up Magazine. This also resulted in a song ("Trucido") on the free sampler that comes with every issue of the magazine.
The feature in Close-Up Magazine was followed by gigs around Sweden (e.g. Sweden Rock festival, Arvikafestivalen and Augustibuller) and the recording of a new demo. The band was not completely satisfied with the result of this recordning though and decided to give the songs some more work.
During 2008 Damien recorded a 10" called "Black heart" that will be released on The Greatest Records this spring.
