Biography:
GODSEND was formed in October 1991 by Gunder Audun Dragsten, after he left his former band ATROX. He started to look around for other musicians who could be interested in working with him. However it proved difficult for Gunder Audun Dragsten to find some musicians he could work with. So during the summer 1992 he recorded the first GODSEND demo. It was recorded in Sweden with Dan Swano on vocals and drums. Three songs were taped and mixed in three days, and the demo was released a month after that. This debut demo made GODSEND a wellknown band in the underground, and received good reviews in the best fanzines. After the demo Gunder decided that it was about time to put a band together. And for a couple of months he worked with some musicians. Unfortunately he wasn"t satisfied with what was happening, so GODSEND continued as a one-man-band.
In the summer 1993 GODSEND"s debut album was recorded. Unisound studio were used once again. With good help of Dan Swano and Benny Larson the album was recorded and mixed during six days.
After sending out a lot of promo tapes to various labels, GODSEND signed a two album deal with HOLY RECORDS. They releases "As the Shadows Fall" in November 1993. The album sold very well despite the fact that GODSEND wasn"t able to tour. The album was received very well by DoomMetal fans all over the world.
A year after the album release, Gunder decided to search for musicians to complete a GODSEND line-up once again. And after spending a lot of time searching for the right members, the first full line-up was completed : Guner Audun Dragsten (Guitar), Tom Wahl (Guitar), Tommy Halseth (Bass), Per Morten Kjöl (Vocals) and Henrik Pettersen (Drums). With this line-up GODSEND started working on the long-awaited second album. It was a really busy period for the band, but in June?july 1995 GODSEND was ready to record in Unisound Studios for the third time. This time as a band. The second album, "In The Electric Mist", was recorded and mixed during a period of 11 days.
It shows that GODSEND, has progressed since the debut album. On the third album, the new members have contributed with material, so this is a band effort. GODSEND has tried to stay away from the Traditional Doom Metal, and incorporated some new influences. The new album is a worthy follow up to the amazing "As Shadows Falls", and shows that lightning doesn"t strike at the same place twice. (Metaleastteen)
