Band Biography:

2001

The band was spawned by Tomas Elofsson, Daniel Dlimi, Mathias Mohlin and Nils Fjellström. Dlimi, Elofsson and Fjellström did some songs, but shortly after that Dlimi left the band to join fellow friends AEON. And in the late fall of 2001, the four-track "Demo 01-02" was recorded. Peter Jönsson was asked to join the band as bassplayer, but he was only in the band a few months. During the short time he was in the band, he did contribute to some cool riffs on some of the songs.

2002

During late spring 2002 SANCTIFICATION unleashed their wrath for the first time live, it took place in Östersund – Sweden. Peter was replaced by axe wielder Jörgen Bylander who had been playing in bands like Defaced Creation & Deranged. The audience were amazed with the band's performance, so the band decided to release the "Demo 01-02" which was only meant to be for promotional use. The demo got great responses from webzines around the world. In July, Sanctification played at STORSJÖYRAN festival in front of a huge crowd in Östersund. After that the band started concentrating on writing more songs.

2003

In early 2003 Sanctification played a gig with fellow friends LORD BELIAL in Östersund. After that gig, the band felt that something was missing when the band played live and specially when the songs were built for two guitar, so they asked a fellow friend MARCUS EDVARDSSON (CHASTISEMENT, SOULDRAINER) to join as their second guitarist and after a few meetings, he accepted the offer and the band was complete for the first time ever. In August the band played in Trondheim (Norway) and in September at "Club Extreme" in Trollhättan. That year, the band established a one-album deal with german label REMISSION RECORDS and the recording of the debut album "Misanthropic Salvation" started and took mostly the whole year to finnish due to some problems in the studio.

2004

In February, the album was finally out after some trouble in the studio and to celebrate the release of the album, Sanctification played a show in their hometown Östersund for a big crowd. The album got a great response in magazines and webzines all over the world. Shortly after the album was out, Jörgen had to leave SANCTIFICATION due to differences in the band and the search for a new bassplayer was on! In August, SANCTIFICATION entered the ABYSS studio with PETER TÄGTGREN to record a two-track PROMO. The recording was later named "PROMO-04" and contained four tracks including the two tracks they recorded in ABYSS + two live songs from the release gig for the MISANTHROPIC SALVATION album. In september, SANCTIFICATION got an offer to play with the mighty CANNIBAL CORPSE and SPAWN OF POSSESSION in Trondheim Norway on their European tour and jumped right on it. Since the band was missing a bassplayer, SANCTIFICATION asked JOHAN HJELM of AEON to fill out that area for that gig and he gladly accepted it. The gig was a success and the band had a great show. (SANCTIFICATION always had a bunch of great fans in Norway) Later that year, TOMAS and NILS went on tour in Europe with their other band IN BATTLE to support swedish Death Metal Kings UNLEASHED.

2005

The year started with Nils and Tomas going on tour again with IN BATTLE, this time to support the mighty CROWBAR and BEHEMOTH for a few dates in Europe. SANCTIFICATION took some time off during the summer to give all focus on the upcoming fall. Instead of having a "session bassplayer", the band started to look for a new guy that could fill the empty space. In October, a guy named Kristoffer Hell came in contact with the band and the he fitted right in, so the rehersals for the upcoming shows was on. Kristoffer had played in a band called DYSPLASIA and had a lot of experience of playing live with other bands too. After a few weeks of rehersals, they felt like SANCTIFICATION now was a BAND with a strong line-up, so they started to prepare the shows that were booked. The first one out was in Västerås and then Stockholm and to follow that up, a great show in Karlstad at METALCLUB. A venue the band had always wanted to play at for a long time. During that time, the band started to talk about the future of the band and what the plans should be for the near future. To release the "PROMO-04" was the first step and to make another album in 2006.

We are at the moment making the last preparations for the studio.
Last touches on the songs are being added and rehearsals are moving along just fine. We will start the recording on July 7th in Abyss studio with Tommy and Peter Tägtgren and when we are done with that Peter will mix it and for the mastering we are going with Dan Swanö.
This album is going to be fucking glorious for sure and its going to be a blast to record it.

There will be some cool guests on the album as well:
Secthdemon (Zyklon, Myrkskog) will join us to lay down some cool vocals and the other one is Masse (Emperor Magus Caligula) who will be with us for the whole recording.
I will also try to make Peter T to lay down some cool screams.

2 weeks left.
That’s it for now.

Looking for a potential drummer.

W are at the moment looking for a drummer that can play live with us, and maybe even play full time with us in the future. We have a couple of guys that are potentials drummers but still no drummer that can join us at the moment.

So if you think you have what it takes (or if you know someone) to go on a few tours when the album is out and play fast, well played death metal, just contact us here at myspace or at this email:
