Spawn of Possession rose from the ashes of various constellations in Feb. `97, consisting of Jonas Bryssling (guitar), Jonas Karlsson (guitar) and Dennis Röndum (drums). The whole idea of the band was to create brutal and sick music that went beyond all that had been done before in death metal history!

After three years of dedicated song writing the band went to record their first demo, "The Forbidden", which got nothing but great responses and earned the band a respectful name in the death metal community world wide! Right after the release of "The Forbidden" the band found high-skilled bass player Nick Dewerud to fill the empty bass spot the band had suffered from since the start! A year after that the band once again laid siege to the studio to record their second demo, "Church of deviance", which nowadays is a true classic in the underground! "Church of deviance" got praised in every review it faced and in Dec.2001 Spawn of Possession signed a deal with Unique Leader Records.

Spawn of Possession worked extremely hard on new material for the next six months and in June 2002 the recording of the debut album, "Cabinet", commenced! The recording, mixing and mastering of Cabinet went smooth and the final result followed up the band`s expectations for a complete satisfaction! Cabinet was released in America 14/01/03 and in Europe 04/03/03 and had a great amount of pre-orders. The album sales is now (01/07/03) past 4000 copies and the reactions from fans and press has been totally overwhelming.

To support the release of the album Spawn of Possession did an extensive European tour between Feb 20 and March 16 together with Disavowed, Vile, Inhume and Mangled. The tour was a major success and opened up alot of new doors for the band.

A US tour together with Gorgasm, Pyaemia and Severed Savior is now being set up and is scheduled to kick off on the 7th of November.
