Tiamat formed back in 1989 and made a strong mark early on as pioneers in Swedish black and death metal, before becoming even more style-setting in the dark rock genres with their third album Clouds (1992) and Grammy-nominated Wildhoney (1994). The latter album won Album of the Year in both Rock Hard and MetalHammer in Germany, and Tiamat toured for two years with Black Sabbath, Motörhead and Type O Negative.
Most of the band's music and lyrics revolve around singer Johan Edlund, who is also active as a multi-artist. The band's universe is an atmospheric and dark jewel, hypnotic, dark and poetic. The band is known for its very distinctive Tiamat sound and songs that often go in Midtempo.
Tiamat tours all over the world at festivals with their greatest hits.

Liv Sin
Founded in 2016 by LIV JAGRELL, LIV SIN is a metal band from Stockholm, Sweden. Liv formed the band after her previous band Sister Sin decided to call it quits in 2015, after 13 years of touring Europe and US supporting bands like Slayer, King Diamond, Motörhead, Doro, Arch Enemy, In This Moment, W.A.S.P. and U.D.O.
Liv took all her charismatic energy from Sister Sin and transferred it into LIV SIN to create a band with a heavier and more modern sound based on massive riffs and hooky melodies.
LIV SIN's sound has been described as a mix of the now classic Gothenburg sound and modern metal such as Five Finger Death Punch and Parkway Drive but also with a twist of Arch Enemy and Judas Priest. The debut album "Follow Me", 2017 was produced by Stefan Kaufmann (ex. U.D.O. & ex. Accept) and Fitty Wienhold (ex. U.D.O.). Album No2 "BurningSermons", 2019 produced by Emil Nödtveidt (Deathstars).
The music evolved forward with darker riffs, melodic choruses, and a larger musical arrangement.
Alongside Arch Enemy, Liv Sin is one of Sweden's top female-fronted metal bands.
January 27, 2023, the third album "KaliYuga" was released, offering a more experimental and dynamic sound, where Liv and Co go deeper into softer, darker, and harder sides.
The album was recorded in Solna Sound Recording by Simon Johansson (Wolf) and Mike Wead (King Diamond) and mixed and mastered by Danish Tue Madsen.

- Even when we had the first song ready for the second album, which will be released in 2023. In our imagination there are probably no limits to how far we can take this live, but facing a metal audience with this material might be powerful enough to start with! All singing and fists in the air is what we're inviting you to anyway! says Mean Machine (Marcus von Boisman).
