    Artist description
    Skinwash Inc. is a way of expression. It's a statement. It's a way for me to deal with my troubles and all the shit around me. It is my extended middle finger to the world. It's the sound of the chaos inside of me. It's the dead melody. And I’m ready to deliver it to the world!

    Artist History
    I started Skinwash Inc. in 1998 in Uppsala/Sweden. I had just left my previous punk-rock band "Solitude" and wanted to play something heavier and closer to my heart. Our first gig was a local band contest and we made it to the finals, but came second because the jury thought that having a dildo on stage was a bit too much. The make up, the clothing, the explosive aggression and the anguish we managed to reflect on stage made Skinwash Inc. quite known and locally popular band. After recording the first demo "Sulfur", Skinwash was now playing several successful gigs around Uppsala. In the summer of '99 it was time to get in to the studio once again, the result was 11-tracked "Sores". This demo sounded nothing like anyone in the band had expected. Most of the songs were good and we had developed as a band and as musicians. But at the same time it openly showed us that we all wanted to do different things. So we decided to go separate ways. I decided to continue with Skinwash Inc., because it was my band, my vision and my concept and after 2 months I had a new 3-member line-up. The music was now finally what I wanted to do from the beginning. After a couple of weeks from the first rehearsal we had our first gig. I wanted to show people that Skinwash Inc. was now even better and harder then ever. End of the summer of 2000 we started recording a new demo and this time we did all by ourselves. It took a bit longer then what we had in mind and had a lot of trouble to get the vocals right. So we turned to Örjan Örnkloo who played the guitar in Misery Loves Co. The result was "Circle One". After releasing this demo on the net we got huge respond from all over the world and a couple of record labels showed interest, but I thought the timing wasn't right for a record deal so we kept on rehearsing and writing new songs. Beginning of 2002 things got slow, (even though the interest in Skinwash Inc. was growing from every direction) we weren't getting anything done. Some of us were having hard time in our personal lives and there were conflicts between band members as well. I guess in the end we simply lost the track to our goal and weren't sharing the same vision anymore... This is when I decided to move to Gothenburg and continue Skinwash Inc. as a solo project. My personal life was a mess and the only thing keeping me in Uppsala was the band. I needed to move along and find my own way. It was obvious from the start of this project that I was destined to do this by my own. If you want something get done right, you gotta do it yourself, right? I started recording the next demo all by myself, wrote and recorded over 30 songs but wasn't satisfied with anything. I started over and over again, took my time, wrote songs and worked on the sound. After all frustration, all work and mixing the result was "The Project Mayhem", finally I managed to come up and complete something I was happy with. Considering the quality of the equipment I used for recording this demo I knew I was never going to reach perfection. This was closest I could get to satisfied. I guess what I'm most proud of is that I've done everything by myself, from riffs to mastering.
