Cemetary was formed in 1989 when a couple of young men in Sweden decided to express their anger and despair through music. A few years later they signed a contract with Black Mark Production and started recording their debut album "An Evil Shade of Grey" which was released in 1992. They released four more albums before the singer and songwriter Mathias Lodmalm felt that he wanted to do something new. Cemetary was therefore laid to rest in 1997 with their last album. They did however reunite in 2004 and the following year a new album called "Phantasma" surfaced. In late May 2005 Mathias Lodmalm posted a message at their website, announcing that he was leaving the scene for good because of dissatisfaction with the people he did business with.
