Grand Cadaver is a Swedish death metal supergroup formed in 2020.[1] Made up of Swedish artists, their sounds are based in the early Stockholm death scene music.[2] The group consists of Mikael Stanne, Christian Jansson, Stefan Lagegren, Daniel Liljekvist, and Alex Stjernfeldt.[3]
History
[edit]The band was formed during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 by Alex Stjernfeldt and Daniel Liljekvist. They invited Stefan Lagergren and Christian Jansson, and Mikael Stanne to join the group.[1][4]
The band planned to release an EP as a side-project during the pandemic since tours were on hold.[5] The band produced their debut album, Into The Maw of Death on 29 October 2021, and the music earned the "Best Metal" at the 2022 Manifest awards.[6]
After the pandemic, they recorded a follow-up album, Deities of Deathlike Sleep in 2022, and was released on 29 August 2023 [5] One of the album's hit, "Reign Through Fire" is dedicated to Lars-Göran Petrov as a celebration of life and his years of service to death metal.[7]
