Grotesque (band)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Grotesque is a Swedish death metal band formed in Gothenburg in September 1988 from the remains of Conquest by Wåhlin (Necrolord). The band was however shortlived and recorded a few demos and a EP. After the demise of the band Lindberg and Svensson started At the Gates, while Necrolord created his own band Liers in Wait and focused more on creating artwork for several bands including Dissection and Emperor. In 1996, three members, Goatspell, Necrolord, and Offensor got back together and recorded two songs for the release of a compilation album, which was later re-released as a split album with At the Gates EP Gardens of Grief.
