Swedish death metal outfit Godgory was formed by vocalist Matte Andersson and drummer Erik Andersson (no relation) in 1992 as that rarest of animals, a death metal cover band. After honing their chops for a couple of years on the likes of countrymen Entombed and Grave, Andersson and Andersson began working on original material, and the resulting demo landed a deal with the German label Invasion. Their 1996 debut album, Sea of Dreams, displayed a ... more progressive, Gothic sound than their early influences; the follow-up, Shadow's Dance, appeared quickly later that year with an entirely new backing cast of studio musicians. Godgory jumped to the Nuclear Blast label for their third album, Resurrection, which appeared in 1999. They split up in 2004.See more [+]
