Artist description The perfect mix of Power Metal and Black Metal?

Music Style Melodic Metal

Artist History Early 2001 Magnus Wohlfart, Jeremy Child and Håkan Lanz started up a band to play some Metallica and Slayer covers and when a gig at a school came up a bass player was needed. Gustaf Hagel joined and the game was on. During early summer the band started writing own material and after another gig in October 2001 the band (then known as "Världens Största Träd" translated: "The Largest Tree in the World") decided that the music played should aim more at Power Metal rather than the Thrash Metal they´ve played before. Håkan Lanz, not very fond of the style change, wanted out and simply left the band. The three remaining brave kept on rehearsing songs and was all three busy with another band called Yggdrasil (http://yggdrasil.xrs.net). At the Wacken Open Air festival in August 2002 Gustaf Hagel and Magnus Wohlfart met Jonas Fröberg who was an unoccupied guitar player who wouldn´t mind joining a band. The autumn was calm, not much happened in the history of Broken Dagger but around x-mas the guys decided that something was wrong. The name was changed to Broken Dagger, all songs were trashed and new songs written and the search for a vocalist had to be doubled. After much rehearsal a gig at a local music contest came up and the band went up there, asking the crowd if someone was interested in doing the vocals for this band and after the gig Niklas Olausson showed up. After one audition he joined the band and more rehearsals were under way. The recording of the demo "Into Madness" began in July 2003 and was finished just a few weeks later and three of the five songs are currently available for download here at mp3.com and the storm has just begun...
