EXPULSION (SWEDEN)


Stockholm's EXPULSION date back to a 1988 band titled RIVER'S EDGE. The Initial line-up for EXPULSION featured former TIAMAT members guitarist Stefan Lagergren, bassist Anders Holmberg and drummer Calle Fransson. The band released its first demo tape, 'Cerebral Cessation', in 1989 and also contributed the track 'Certain Corpses Never Decay' to the compilation cassette 'Hymns Of The Dead Volume Two'. Later the same year EXPULSION recorded a second demo entitled 'Veiled In The Mist Of Mystery'. This tape landed the band a deal with Putrefaction Records for whom they were to record the single 'Soul Upheaval' / 'Lain Hidden'. However, this remains unreleased. Another blow was struck when various members found themselves with impending terms of compulsory national military service. Holmberg thus decided to put the band on ice and joined TRANQUILLITY. Lagergren and Fransson reformed EXPULSION in 1991 adding vocalist Fredrik Thornqvist and female bassist Chelsea Krook. The following year EXPULSION augmented their sound with the enlistment of second guitarist Chris Vowden, an erstwhile member of ABSURD and member of Black Metal combo GEBURIUM. Chelsea Krook departed and the returning Anders Holmberg signed up once more in time to record the debut single, a self financed effort. EXPULSION's long awaited debut album, 'Overflow', appeared in 1994 and offered a guest appearance from TIAMAT vocalist Johan Edlund on the track 'At The Madness End'.
