Defleshed
Defleshed was started in 1991 by guitarist Lars Löfven. Other band members at this time was Kristoffer Griedl and Oskar Karlsson (now found in bands like Raised Fist and Scheitan).
One demo titled Defleshed came out of this constellation. In 1992, Gustaf Jorde from Crematorium joined Defleshed playing bass and they soon started recording their second demo, Abrah Kadavrah. Session singer was Johan Hedman. Miscarriage Record (Italy) released a 7" that contained three songs from this demo. Nuclear Blast Records (Germany) also used one song ("Obsculum "Obscenium) on their compilation CD titled Grindcore.
In 1993, Defleshed, now with Gustaf as vocalist as well as bass player, recorded the promo Body Art. Invasion Records (Germany) got a hold of this and offered Defleshed a deal for a mini CD.
So in 1994, Ma Belle Scalpelle was recorded at Rolling Rock Studio.
In 1995, drummer Matte Modin joined the band, and in 1996, the first full-length CD was recorded, named Abrah Kadavrah after the second demo. Defleshed were at this time a four-piece. After guitarist Kristoffer Griedl left the band in 1996, Defleshed became the powerful three-piece that they are today: Lars Löfven, Gustaf Jorde, and Matte Modin.
In June 1997, Defleshed recorded Under The Blade in Berno Studio in Malmö, Sweden. Invasion Records handled Europe, and Metal Blade North America. In 1998, Defleshed recorded a cover of Sepultura's "Beneath The Remains" for the album Sepulchral Feast: A Tribute to Sepultura at Dug Out Productions Uppsala. In 1999, once again Defleshed entered Berno Studio to record the album Fast Forward. For this album, Defleshed signed with WAR music to handle Europe and Japan with Pavement Music for the rest of the world.
In 2002, the band contacted Regain Records and found themselves a new deal. A new record, Royal Straight Flesh, was recorded. The CD was released in January 2003 in Europe and via Regain North America/The End in the Fall of 2003.
