history
The band was founded in 1988 by guitarist Michael Amott and bassist and singer Johan Liiva as Global Carnage. A short time later guitarist Johnny Dordevic and drummer Jeppe Larsson joined them. The band released two demos in 1989 with The Day Man Lost and Infestation of Evil . The band was subject to frequent line-up changes, so that on the album Dark Recollections in 1990 only Michael Amott was represented as a founding member. Singer Matti Kärki , guitarist David Blomkuist and drummer Fred Estby were new members . Even before the album was officially released, the band broke up again. The album was originally included on the split release Dark Recollections / Hallucinating Anxiety , which was released via Necrosis Records , a sub-label of Earache Records . It was re-released in 2000 with bonus songs.
Michael Amott joined Carcass after the dissolution and later founded Arch Enemy and Spiritual Beggars with Johan Liiva . Matti Kärki , David Blomqvist and Fred Estby played at Dismember .
