God Mother - Biography
Biography
God Mother comprises four persons with different musical backgrounds who together strive to create the heaviest and best music possible. The band began to take shape in late 2012 when guitarist Jonatan Lindgren, drummer Michael Dahlström and bassist Daniel Noring started playing together in a cramped basement in Stockholm, Sweden. Armed with a record shelf full of bands like Rotten Sound, Nasum, Entombed, Black Flag, Converge, Gaza and Melvins, they started to create music influenced by hardcore, swedish death metal, grindcore, sludge and noise.
In April 2013 they released the four-track EP Imitation, and shortly thereafter Sebastian Campbell join the band. In the end of June they then released the single entitled Inga Budskap Kvar.
In the summer of 2014 the band did a European tour together with the band Helioscope, blasting their way through Europe, leaving a trace of broken microphones and whiplash injuries. Later in August they also went on to play a Central America tour becoming one of the first Swedish hardcore band to play in Guatemala, Nicaragua and Costa Rica among other countries.
In March of 2015, the band released their debut full length LP Maktbehov through Violent Groove Music Group.
Following two self-released EP's and a critically acclaimed full length recording, God Mother has signed to Party Smasher Inc. records, home of The Dillinger Escape Plan, Giraffe Tongue Orchestra and Primitive Weapons.
A four-piece powerhouse, from the depths of the Swedish hardcore underground, God Mother has been a rising force since its inception in 2012.
God Mother's debut, Maktbehov, was easily one of Metal's most exciting new releases in 2015, making many of the year's top lists including Loudwire, Blunt Mag, Metal Injection, and was hailed by Pitchfork as "an asteroid crash of an album that renders most of its competition extinct."
Across 14 tracks, God Mother's Party Smasher Inc. debut, Vilseledd, out October 20th, 2017, packs hardcore, grind, sludge, and noise into lethal projectiles, fueled by bilingual lyrics denouncing society's ignorance, in both Swedish and English.
The band has toured extensively with acts such as Cult Leader, The Number 12 Looks Like You and The Dillinger Escape Plan.
