The Norwegian doom metal band Godsend was formed in October 1991 by Gunder Audun Dragsten who had previously been with Atrox (earlier known as Suffocation). He tried to find other musicians to work with but it proved difficult and in the summer of 1992 he recorded his first demo on his own in Sweden with producer Dan Swanö on vocals and drums. The demo was well received in the underground which made Gunder want to assemble a full line-up. For a couple of months he worked with some other musicians but he wasn't satisfied and Godsend continued as a one-man band.
In the summer of 1993 a debut album was recorded at the Unisound studio once again with the guidance of Dan Swanö and Benny Larsson. After having sent out promo tapes to several labels, Godsend signed a two album deal with the French company Holy Records who released "As The Shadows Fall" in November 1993. The album sold well among doom metal fans all over the world.
A year later Gunder went on a new search for musicians to work with and now he found his first real line-up which was made up of himself and Tom Wahl on guitars, Tommy Sebastian Halseth on bass, Per Morten Kjöl on vocals and Henrik Pettersen on drums. They started working on a second album and in June / July 1995 they entered Unisound once more to record "In The Electric Mist", recorded and mixed in 11 days.
A third album was released in 1998 but since then it has been very quiet around the band.
