MAZE OF TORMENT
formed out of the ashes of the band HARMONY, due to massive line-up and direction changes the band had experienced from 1992-95. MAZE OF TORMENT dedicated itself to creating intense Death/Thrash Metal with total disregard for all trends or caution. In May ´95, MAZE OF TORMENT recorded for the first time and with their line-ups´ first incarnation; Pehr Larsson - vocals and bass / Pete Flesh - guitars and Kjell Enblom on drums. The three-track promo that was the result of these initial rumblings landed the band a deal with Germany´s We Bite/Corrosion Records. A year later, the band´s debut, "The Force" was complete, recorded at Unisound Studios in Sweden. Due to delays of every imaginable variety the release of "The Force" was delayed for an entire year after it´s completion- leading the band to seek another label as quickly as possible. In March of ´98 they re-entered the studio with a new contract with Tomas Nyqvist´s Iron Fist Productions to record their second album, "Faster Disaster". By this time, Pehr Larsson had quit playing bass to focus on his vocals, and the band had recruited Peter Jansson to handle the four-string duties. The album received extremely positive critical response, even at a time when the word "Thrash" was becoming synonymous with "Cheesy Cash-in garbage", MAZE OF TORMENT´s material was strong enough to win over even the staunchest critics. Despite the brilliant reaction that the album received, sales were disappointing due to a lack of distribution from Iron Fist. The band knew that they had to take the next step and find a label that would give their ferocious music the intense push that it deserved. After replacing vocalist Pehr with the formidable Erik Sahlstrom and replacing bassist Peter Jansson with Kalle Sjodin, the band quickly inked a deal with Necropolis Records for "Death Strikes". After returning to Sweden´s famed Sunlight Studios the band emerged with a killing piece of molten Metal insanity that should have establish their rightful place among the most intense bands in the Death/Thrash Metal genre today. Sadly Necropolis Records fucked everything up and when it was time to enter the studio for the recording of their fourth album "The Unmarked Graves" all started to fall apart. After 10 month of delays the studio bill to Tommy Tätgren / The Abyss Studio was still not paid. Everything was bloody falling apart for the band at this time. The rage towards Necropolis Records was more than enormous. But when everything was like worst Blackmoon from the Swedish cult label HELLSPAWN RECORDS (Dark Funeral / Infernal ect.) contacted the band and maked an offer to release "The Unmarked Graves". They decide to give Necropolis Records the finger and accept the deal from HELLSPAWN RECORDS. Both parts sees this collaboration as the beginning of somthing greater, and the band are more than satisfied with the standard HELLSPAWN RECORDS have shown so far. No fucking delays, no fucking lies…. just pure fucking underground!!
