-Guidance of Sin-

Guidance of sin was formed 1994 by Linus Nirbrant and Jesper Löfgren. As a sideproject of A Canorous Quintet but growed into a more serious band that was planned. Linus and Jesper played toghther even before A Canorous Quintet was born in 1992. But when Linus started to play guitar with ACQ, Jesper and Linus old band split up in 1993. Jesper joined ACQ in -94. That year marked the birth of Guidance Of Sin. Linus and Jesper played all instruments themself and recorded some songs. Leini from the band Sanguinary (R.I.P.) joined the band in late -95. Sanguinary recorded a great demo in -95 but the band split-up in -96/97.

Guidance Of Sin finally decided to enter a studio to record a few songs and that's when Fredrik Andersson also from A Canorous Quintet joined the band in the beginning of 1997. The result was four excellent and catchy Death metal tracks. They recorded this debut demo 'Soul Disparity' in a professional studio and the demo was even mastered to give a good sound quality. The demo is now sold out (over 500 sold). The demo got great response from magazines and fanzines all aroud the world. Guidance Of Sin got some offers from labels, but didn't sign anything.

In the beginning of 1998 they entered Sunlight Studio to record two new tracks for a promo. With this promo they got some new offers from different labels and decided to sign with Mighty Music. Mighty music wanted Guidance Of Sin to record three new tracks for them. So they entered Sunlight studio once again in late -98. After this Linus and Jesper decided to quit A Canorous Quintet. They wanted to concentrate on Guidance Of Sin to 100%! And ACQ decided not to go on without Linus and Jesper.

In April 1999 the release of the debut album called 'Soul Seducer' saw the light of day on MIGHTY MUSIC. 'Soul Seducer' contained three new songs as well as both the four songs from 'Soul Disparity' demo and the two songs from 'Promo-CD '98', so the release was a sort of a compilation album. Despite this fact, 'Soul Seducer' was received extremely well world wide and resulted in many good reviews all over the world as well as good sales. Shortly after the release of 'Soul Seducer' Fredrik (drums) decided to leave the band and instead join Amon Amarth. Fredrik was quickly replaced by Tob Sillmann and L-E Limnell joined the band as the first bass-player.

With a full line-up GOS started rehearsing intensely for the recording of their first real album. This took place at The Sunlight Studio in December 1999 and was mixed the same place in January 2000. All in all ten songs was put on tape, 9 of the bands own composions and a cover version of the Motörhead classic 'Killed By Death'. These songs show a new direction and sound of GUIDANCE OF SIN, which is best described as melodic and catchy metal with an angry and heavy deathrock angle - completed with a straight forward attitude!! '6106' was released world wide through MIGHTY MUSIC on the 29th of May 2000.
