Biography

Gothenburg Death Metal band forged under the title of DEFORMED during 1994. The group's initial line up would comprise Mikael Nordin on vocals and guitar, second guitar player Gabriel Värmby, bassist Marcus Åkerberg and drummer Michael Jungestrand. A DEFORMED demo  'Obsessed By The Past' was recorded in 1994. By 1995 the band had installed a new rhythm section of bass man Pär Romvall and drummer John Bergqvist.

A second demo 'Shades From A Missing Epoch' marked the transition to the title MNEMONIC, followed by the 1996 demo 'While We Dream'. That year also marked the introduction of MALEFICO and BOKFOT guitarist Mikael Fredriksson and new drummer Daniel Moilanen. A second demo was also delivered that same year, 'A Dreaming Soul Of Silence'. Fredriksson opted out in 1997 to be replaced by Niklas Almén but in 2000 MNEMONIC ceased activities.

In 2002 Niklas Almén and Mikael Nordin created WITHIN Y in union with NEMESIS singer Andreas Solveström and ex-GARDENIAN drummer Thim Blom. Moilanen would enjoy a high profile run through some notable names on the Scandinavian Metal scene including DRACENA, MINDSNARE, NOTRE DAME, RUNEMAGICK and RELEVANT FEW. Moilanen would extend his sphere of operation by joining both LORD BELIAL and SANDALINAS.
