Filthy Christians was a Swedish grindcore band from Falun. They were among the first bands of this genre in Scandinavia and were also the first Swedish music group to be signed by Earache Records .
history
The band was founded in 1985 in Falun, Sweden . On a train trip through Europe, the band met Digby Pearson from Earache Records in 1986. In 1987, during a tour of Great Britain , he offered the Filthy Christians a recording contract. The prerequisite was that the group sent him a demo . After the third demo was completed in 1988, the band received the contract and the debut album Mean was released in 1990. The band became known to a wide audience on the occasion of an appearance on the Swedish television program Svepet in 1989. After some changes in the composition of the early 1990s Filthy Christians changed the musical direction towards the Death Metal and took in 1992 in the Sunlight Studio of Tomas Skogsberg another demo. In 1994 the EP Nailed was released by We Bite Records . The band broke up in the mid-1990s.
