Gormathon

 

Biography

Gormathon was formed in February 2009 by Stefan Jonsson (guitar), Tony Sandberg (drums) and Tony Sunnhag (bass and vocals). They began to write music based on the idea of creating metal close to death metal but still maintaining the melodies and harmonies fundamental to traditional metal.
In April 2009 they started to record the first tracks, putting a lot of effort in recording the tracks on their own. Later the same month, in order to bring more life into their music, they invited Thomas Hedlund (bass) and Peter Sonefors (guitar) to join the band. A three track demo was released in June and the songs got played on Swedish national radio, P3 Rock, in July and got excellent reviews in Sweden Rock Magazine and Close-Up Magazine.

In September 2009 Gormathon got contacted by Johnny Hagel of Bonnier Amigo Music Group AB, who was working on establishing a new metal label within the company. They sent him the tracks, and as he really liked the tunes a contract was signed in February 2010 with Supernova Records Sweden AB, the new metal label under Bonnier Amigo Music Group AB. All tunes were re-mixed and re-mastered by Henrik Edenhed at Studio Cosmos in Stockholm, Sweden.
