We're digging into the vault on this one. Two Swedish bands that had humble beginnings, but contained members that would go on to be a part of bands that would shape the genre. House of Usher, a band with little output, but a huge reputation within Swedish death metal circles and featured Martin Larsson who would go onto At The Gates and Stefan Källarsson from Crypt of Kerberos. Then we have Crystal Age, an abrasive, technical death metal outfit with a penchant for Star Wars lyrics featuring Oscar Dronjak, who would later go on to form Hammerfall and had a stint in Ceremonial Oath, and drummer Hans Nilsson, from Dimension Zero and Liers in Wait, was also on the Far Beyond Divine Horizons.
Executive Producer: René Allingham Sørensen
