Dawn of Oblivion was formed in 1992 by singer/guitarplayer Victor
Fradera and guitar/keyboard player Per Broberg.
Two drum machine demos and no gigs later a bass playing youngster by
the name of Jesper Rydberg and a dazzling hunk of a drummer, Andreas
Båge, was recruited to make the band sound more like... a band.
Two demos, a few gigs and a talent show later DOO earned their first
record deal and recorded the already classic album "A Fervent Prayer".
Shortly after the release of the album, in 1994, the band split up due
to "difference of opinions". Victor then reformed Dawn of
Oblivion and recruited American guitarist Jimmy Lee Lou, bassplayer
Jonas Nilsson and again, the dazzling hunk of a drummer, Andreas. Two
demos, some gigs and a another record deal later, DOO again parked their
buts in the studio, this time to record the 1997 "Yorick"
album. After some gig´n and touring , a few child births, divorces
and what not , DOO felt it was time to start recording again, so in
late 1998, in preparation for their third full length album, they began
recordings of the four track EP "Haunted". Shortly before
the release of Haunted, guitarist Jimmy informed his fellow band members
that he intends to leave the band, Jim wanted to spend more time with
his family and other music projects.
DOO hold some auditions to recruit a new guitar player, and after only
a month, almost out of the blue, a very potent stallion of a man , Stefan
Rosqvist, shows up for rehearsal. Stefan joins the band and the line
up is again complete. After much rehearsal DOO embarks on a short tour
of Sweden to grind the rock´n roll lifestyle into the brains and
bones of the members, all this in preparation for the long and painful
process of writing and recording Dawn of Oblivions third full length
masterpiece "Mepisto´s Appealing". Recordings started
in January 2000 and ended in March 2001.
Stay tuned, more is to come.......
