VERMIN, a Swedish Death Metal troupe out of Nässjö, were founded in 1991 issuing a seven track eponymous demo the following year. Further promotional cassettes included 'Life Is Pain' and 'Scum Of The Earth'. The band debuted commercially with the inclusion of one of their tracks on the compilation album 'Requiem Morbid Symphonies Of Death' before Chaos records issued all the VERMIN demos to date collected onto one CD 'Obedience To Insanity' during October 1994.

The second album, 'Plunge Into Oblivion', which saw bassist Johan Svensson replaced by David Melin, included Fred Estby of DISMEMBER.

In early 1997 founder member and guitarist Moses Shtieh decamped. VERMIN underwent a necessary reshuffle shifting Melin to guitar and bringing in bassist Timmy Persson.

The 1998 album 'Millennium Ride' would be issued by No Fashion Records and picked up for an American license by Metal Blade Records in March of 2000. 'Filthy F***king Vermin' emerged in January 2001.

Not to be confused with the Australian Nu-Metal VERMIN.
