| Band biography |
1992
COERCION was formed by Kenneth Nyman, Rickard Thulin and Pelle Liljenberg.
1993
After having added two more members to the band, we entered the studio in october to record our first demo HEADWAY. Being not totally satisfied with how it came out, we decided to remix it and rerecord the vocals. Also the song "Take The Pain" was excluded. It was then rereleased with a new cover. It cought the interest of several recordlabels, but although very close, no contract was signed. Members in: Lasse "Malte" Ortega (guitar) and Gordon Johnston (drums)
1994
In november we recorded our second demo HUMAN FAILURE. Shortly after the release, we signed a contract for four albums with CHAOS RECORDS (SWE). Members out: Lasse "Malte" Ortega (guitar), Pelle Liljenberg (bass). Member in: Stefan Persson (guitar)
1995
In January, we began recording what was supposed to be our debut album. But due to differences within the band, the recording was never finished. COERCION and CHAOS REC. later decided not to work together, so the contract was then invalidated. Members out: Gordon Johnston (drums) and Stefan Persson (guitar). Members in: Pelle Liljenberg (bass), Stefan Söderberg (guitar) and Tor Frykholm (drums)
1996
In July we began our self-financed recording of our debut album FOREVER DEAD at Dan Swanö's legendary UNISOUND studio (RIP). We then started fishing for deals, and only a few months later, we signed a contract for two albums with PERVERTED TASTE (GER). Member out: Tor Frykholm (drums). Member in: Pelle Ekegren (drums)
1997
In July FOREVER DEAD was released. In Dec/Jan 97-98, we toured Germany and Poland, supported by PURGATORY (GER), IMPENDING DOOM (GER) and CRYPTIC TALES (POL). Member out: Pelle Liljenberg (bass). Member in: Ola Eklöf (bass)
1998
In June we recorded our second album DELETE, at Mieszko Talarczyk's SOUNDLAB studios. Members out: Stefan Söderberg (guitar) and Ola Eklöf (bass)
1999
In February DELETE was released. In June we went to Germany for a minitour together with EMINENZ, PURGATORY and POLYMORPH (all GER). Member in and out: Stefan Söderberg (guitar)
2000
In May/June, we went on a European tour together with FLESHGRIND (US) and RESURRECTED (GER). We were then supposed to record our third album at the Sunlight studio. But due to the lacking of songs and inspiration, we were forced to cancel the recording. Rickard decided to try his wings, and left the band later this year. Member out: Rickard thulin (guitar)
2001
Despite being only two members left in the band, Kenneth and Pelle E kept working on the new material. To add new members, several musicians were tried out, but we had no luck. Rickard then rejoined the band in late 2001. Member in: Rickard Thulin (guitar)
2002
In February Dag joined us on bassguitar. Member in: Dag Nesbö (bass)
