NOMINON was formed in January 1993
by Juha Sulasalmi and Peter Nilsson. As a duo they released
two demos; Daemon I and II - both in 1993. The music
they played back then was a mix of Death Metal and Black
Metal, and the demos were spread only in the Swedish
underground. In the fall of 1995 NOMINON
became a whole band with the following line-up: Vocals
- N. Holstenson, Guitar - J. Mattsson, Guitar - C. Cederborg,
Bass - T. Hellman, Drums - J. Sulasalmi.
NOMINON played their debut gig in February
1996 with DISMEMBER, DISSECTION and
VERMIN. The same year they released
a demo called "My Flesh". Cederborg got fired
and Sulasalmi took over the guitar duties and they got
Emil Dragutinovic as their new drummer. The band also
recorded a new demo called "Demo II '96".
During 1997 they played a few gigs and in August they
recorded a promo tape, simply called "Promo '97".
After the recording they kicked out Tobbe and David
Svartz replaced him.
Two months before the recording of their first album
in 1998, bassist Lenny Blade, from the Thrash Metal
act INCINERATOR (which also includes
Jonas Mattsson on guitar), replaced David who was sacked
out from the band. In October the same year
NOMINON entered Studio Sunlight to record their
debut album "Diabolical Bloodshed". After
the recording NOMINON did a couple
of gigs in Germany.
The debut CD "Diabolical Bloodshed" was released
via X-TREME RECORDS on the 15th of
November 1999. After the release NOMINON
played some festivals and started negotiations about
a suitable deal with a major death/grind label.
After lack of interest in the band, drummer E. Dragutinovic
and NOMINON parted ways during 2001.
He was replaced by Perra Karlsson, an old world drummer
and a friend in the Swedish metal scene.
Further line-up problems followed nine months later
when longtime vocalist; Nicke Holstensson was released
from his duties due to lack of interest. Later in the
year three tracks were recorded by the band them self
for a 7" EP.
The 3-track Cassette EP "Blaspheming The Dead"
was released during 2003 via Nuclear Winter Rds as the
7" EP is delayed due to a incompetent printing
factory in Italy. Five tracks are also recorded during
the summer 2003 for a MCD/MLP 12"-release.
In early 2004 the "The True Face Of Death"
MCD/MLP is released. In April NOMINON
supported MASTER on four dates in Sweden.
A CD with the three first NOMINON demos
is also released by Northern Silence Prod. (Germany).
In May the band is reduced to half the force when Lenny
Blade and Jonas Mattsson decide to leave. A month later
bassist Joel Andersson joined NOMINON
and Juha took over the vocal duties for a while, but
not for too long as Daniel Garptoft completed ! the
line-up in early August. During September/October NOMINON
did their first ever european tour together with the
legendary U.K. death pioneers BENEDICTION
as well as landmates GODHATE. NOMINON
also signed a one album deal with Singapore label KONQUEROR
RECORDS.
NOMINON start the year 2005 with working
on the second album, as well as auditioning a second
guitar player for a more brutal live sound. That guitar
player was found the early January in Christian Strömblad.
In late January the guys recorded their second album
"Recremation" at Necromorbus Studio with engin!
eer/producer Tore Stjerna. During March the super delayed
7" EP "Blasp heming The Dead" was finally
released by the Greek label Nuclear Winter Rds. The
album "Recremation" was released on CD by
Konqueror Rds in late April 2005 and in May on 12"
LP by Blood Harvest Rds. In May NOMINON
also played at the cult festival Fuck The Commerce in
Luckau, Germany. After the summer NOMINON
played their first mini-tour of Finland as well as went
out on a European tour with the American legends!
VITAL REMAINS. This tour was the most successfull
route so far for the gruesome fivesome on all levels.
During January and February 2006 the band gather just
to work on new material. Intense rehearsals took place
and songs was written and arranged by more or less the
whole band. NOMINON also present their
first promo video during February, in form of the track
"Hordes Of Flies". The video was directed
by D.Garptoft/Insane Pictures. Special introduction
guest on the clip comes from Dave Suzuki (VITAL
REMAINS). During the summer the "Recremation"
album was released via license in the USA by Necrohamonic
Prod/Deathgasm Records. In late September the same year
bassist Joel Andersson decided to leave the band, a
couple of weeks later bassist Anders Malmström
joined NOMINON. The band signed a deal
for a collection CD/LP of hard-to-get tracks during
the autumn with Agonia Rds (vinyl) and PULVERISED
RECORDS (CD), this release is known as “Remnants
Of A Diabolical History”. This release feature
covers, unreleased demos and re-recorded older songs. |
