The Story InBlack, a band from southern Sweden delivering powerful and groovy hard rock, was formed in spring 1999. The members came from different bands and backgrounds but all with loads of musical experience. The first line-up, consisting of Mattias Göransson and Anders Nyander on guitars, Håkan Nyander on bass, Johan Rydberg on drums and Rickard Larsson as vocalist, started to develop a straight-on and riff-based rock, influenced by bands as Deep Purple, Motörhead, Monster Magnet and Black Sabbath. The band was very active in writing material and also played several concerts in local festivals and clubs during this period. This intense period soon gave InBlack a local recognition as a professionally performing band with music of high quality. In December-99 the band entered a studio to record a demo including four songs. The recording was printed as a CD in 500 copies under the name True Darkness and the response was very positive. In the end of year 2000 the band was joined by drummer Magnus Emilsson, adding even more "groove" to the music with his straight, powerful drumming style. Finally, in the summer of 2001 the line-up was turned close to perfection by the talented vocalist Daniel Andersson joining the band. In December 2001 the band entered a studio to record the latest demo, an intense 4-track MCD named Pin-Up. At the present InBlack have a very strong line-up along with a fresh, strong repertoire. |
