DEGRADEAD - Biography

The Beginning

David Szücs, Kenneth Helgesson and Michel Bärzén started thrashing together in 2000. Mikael Sehlin joined the band in September 2003, and the constellation that is today known as Degradead was completed in October 2004 with the addition of Anders Nyström.

A selection of songs from both demos were later re-recorded to form the group’s debut album “Til Death Do Us Apart”.

Til Death Do Us Apart

A strong following in Sweden grew as Degradead consistently amazed their live audience. Jesper Strömblad of In Flames offered to work with the band when he heard the “Death Row” demo.

On Jesper’s initiative, Degradead travelled to Gotheburg and recorded "Til Death Do Us Apart" in the IF studios. The album was produced by the H.O.R.D.E team, mixed and engineered by Björn Gelotte and co-engineered by Jesper Strömblad, Peter Iwers, and Daniel Svensson.

The result of the sessions is the finest of Melodic Death Metal records, which manages to achieve a balance between Death Metal, Thrash and catchy melodies and highlight the bands’ signature sound. Mikael Sehlin uses his unique style of screaming through the first ten songs, ’Genetic Waste’ to ’Reborn’. Finally, with the title track, "'Til Death Do Us Apart", placed at the end of the album, Degradead prove that they can handle the tranquility of an all-acoustic song.
