It all started in Norrtälje, Sweden, 1995. Three old friends began to talk about starting a band. They had all played or growled in different constellations before. The main direction with this project, was to play as fast and primitive metal as possible, and the lyrics had to be in Swedish. No question about that. To get the massive and raw sound they wanted, they only had to find a second guitarist and of course a drummer.

Against all odds they soon found Mårten Matsson, who played guitar in a local metal madness called Scab. He thought the idea sounded interesting and joined up. Mårten also knew a guy who had been playing drums for some months so he brought him along too. And so the first line-up was complete. It was Svenne (Duva) Rosendal on vocals, Jonas (Rune) Almquist and Mårten (Karbylundssvingen) Matsson guitars, Pierre (skägget) Wilhelmsson playing bass and Erik (Jurken) Grawsiö on drums. With the temporary band name, Antikrist, they started to rehearse their very first song “Månljus” in November ´95. A month later they changed their name to Månegarm.

In May ´96 they felt ready to put some of the material on tape. After three days in Underground Studio a four-track demo called “Vargaresa” was created. It was an over average demo with good sound and material. It was sad that so few labels and ´zines received it.

Well, I was too shocked to drink some beers with them and then watch them life, so I can't recall the actual setlist. They started with Sigrblot, then I think it was I underjorden. Genom världar nio and my favorite song - Vedergällningens tid. They ended up with Hemfärd just to complete the most fuckin epic day of my life so far!

I badly need their setlist from the show in Leipzig last night. Any general setlist for the Heidenfest will do, actually. Please feel free to PM me if you know something. Skåll!

From the band's MySpace: "Hell yeah!! We are finished! After three looooong weeks of recording and three days of mixing our best album so far is completed. We are in this moment waiting with excitement for the mastering result. Someone described recording an album is like giving birth to a child, and i guess that he got a point there. But i can tell you this folks... We have never been more satisfied with any recordings so far than we are with this motherfucker.. From a killer guitar sound to the vocals and the violin.. Everything feels much better than our previous releases. So watch out for the strongest release in the history of Månegarm!"
