Historical
moments
It all began with Pontus and Fredde were
friends beeing in the same class and everything. They started
to try some cool riffs together in Pontus´former bands rehearsal
place. Pretty shortly some killer music was done and they needed
a drummer. A guy callad Adam Hobér was available. He had played
drumms for several years and just recently left a black metal
band called Enthralled. Not that fond of metal anymore they
easily convinced him to join the band anyway. Beeing one of
the fastest one on the kicks they really wanted him in the band.
They
picked a name, Rage Anthem, and recorded their first demo-cd
named "Fire Desires". A few good songs thou rather bad soundings
overall. After a wile they changed name to Wargasm instead,
a proposal from Pontus older brother, Henke Hardrock. They played
live many times at local arrangements and actually had a small
group of fans. They visited Sutare Studios and recorded their
second demo and then, after perhaps two years together drummerboy
Adam decided to move to Norway and try making some money.
At that time an old friend to Pontus called
Simon Jarrolf sometimes jamed with the boys. At the time of
the demo-recording he hanged around lojaly. Beeing an awesome
guitarist it felt pretty stupid having him playing the bass,
but that was what was missing in the band, so they welcomed
Simon without a doubt, but now there was a lack of a drummer
instead. Erik Wallin from Enköping was recruted. A real proffessional
with an awesome rythm. Wargasm was now complete and with members
all having the right attetude and the will to produce mean
metal. They changed name to Vicious and contuinued rockin'..
After perhaps 15 months together Erik decided
to drop out from the band. He did his last show the 13th of
september and since then Fredde has been hammering the drums.
As told before in "news" a brilliant bass-player
called Jakob agreed to whenever needed help us out. Simon
and Pontus plays therefore the guitars again. The situation
maybe appear to be a bit confused, but they can assure you
that the frame in Vicious always will be intact. The music
is getting harder, faster, more technical and better all the
time. Fredde is fast behind his drums, nowadays the songs
contains real "två-takt" and "grind",
which where lacking before.
Vicious got 9 points out of 10 in issue nr.54
of Close-up. The track "High On Fire" is included
on the "Soundcheck-cd". Now they were working with
new material and carefully looked for a singer to perform
live. (Fredde ain't givin' up the mic totally, ofcourse..
calm down.) The singer should have qualities simular to Fredde's
and not afraid to "sing-along" a bit with the music.
Henke Wenngren from Skyfire started in the band and he fitted
perfectly.
Then Vicious got the record deal with Sound
Riot Records. They spent some time in the supurb Studio Underground
and recorded their debut album, "Vile, Vicious &
Victorious". An old friend to to the band joined in as
a permanent member playing the bass, Alexander Savander. Nowadays
they're rocking as hell. Cheers! |
