Gothenburg AOR act M.ILL.ION issued their debut album on the Danish Büms label. It would be re-released by K.M.C. Records in Europe and Zero in Japan. The 1998 album, which showed a much harder sound than previous efforts, saw the recruitment of keyboard player Mikael Böhnke and drummer Per Westergren. M.ILL.ION gave themselves a healthy live repute as openers for MAGNUM's "farewell" dates.

The band introduced new keyboard player Johan Bergquist, previously a session player for HAMMERFALL, in January of 2003 upfront of the release of a new studio album 'Detonator', recorded in their homeland, mixed by the renowned Simon Hanhart and then mastered at Abbey Road Studios in London. The album would be preceded by a single 'Shadow Of The Cross' accompanied with a Harrison Funk directed video.

As the band stepped up a gear the line-up would fracture at a critical juncture with Hasse Johansson, Stefan Wetterlind and C.T. Rohdell all decamping. New faces for 'Detonator' would be vocalist Ulrich Carlsson and guitarist Jonas Hermansson. MILLION would also sign a new record deal with the British based A2 label securing for 'Detonator' a debut American release. The band switched to Majestic Rock Records to record a 2004 album 'Kingsize', preceded by the taster '2004' EP.

UK gigs in November saw the band set to support VINCE NEIL and STARWOOD. However, these gigs would be cancelled just days before commencement. Compensation came in the form of an opening spot to the MICHAEL SCHENKER GROUP's UK dates. Bad luck on the touring front hit the band again in January 2005 as proposed supports to WAYSTED also fell through when the headliner cancelled. The group finally scored a break by appearing on the billing at the Bradford 'Gods' festival headlined by SOUL SIRKUS, FIREHOUSE and LEGS DIAMOND. The group parted way with guitarist Jonas Hermansson in October. M.ILL.ION duly announced the addition of American guitarist Duane Cole to the group's ranks in December. However, within a matter of weeks Cole was let go. The group welcomed back Jonas Hermansson into the fold in March 2006.

Majestic Rock assembled a M.ILL.ION compilation album, entitled '1991-2006 ... The Best So Far', featuring catalogue tracks plus the previously unreleased track 'Evil Inside', an outtake from the 'Kingsize' studio sessions, and a live version of 'Candyman' recorded at Bradford's 'Firefest' event in 2005.

A 2008 album, 'Thrill Of The Case', was launched with a release party held on May 23rd at the Gothenburg Musikens Hus venue. The album had been recorded between November 2007 and January 2008 with mixing taking place in February at Bohus Studio in Sweden by Tobias Lindell together with B. J Laneby.

M.ILL.ION parted ways with guitarist Jonas Hermansson in October 2008. Replacing Hermansson would be Staffan Österlind from former IRON MAIDEN singer Paul Di'Anno's band and also known as "Jimmy Page" in a LED ZEPPELIN tribute band.
