MUTANT was brought into existence in September 1998 when Peter Lake and
Henrik Ohlsson, from the technical death metal band THEORY IN PRACTICE,
decided to create something that was a bit darker and more evil than
their
original band's music.
With Peter as songwriter and Henrik as lyricist they created five songs
of
blasting black metal that were recorded in December 1998 under the name
of
"Eden Burnt to Ashes", a demo CD that was to be highly appreciated by
labels
and magazines.
After receiving great reviews in the metal press and being played at
metal
radio stations in the States a number of labels offered MUTANT to sign
for
them. After carefully checking all of them out, french label Listenable
records was chosen.
In May 1999 MUTANT started recording what will be their debut album
‘The
Aeonic Majesty’. It contains 9 tracks of sheer terror and blinding
harmonies. From the sadistically ‘demonworlds’ with its ear slashing
riffiing and ultra speed fancy to the mind disturbing ‘abduct to
mutate’,
MUTANT go through years of experience from exploring the world of music
to
create something superior and unique for this particular genre.
Althought heavily rooted soundwise to the black metal style, MUTANT are
definitely not your regular black metal newcomer. Straying away from
the
typical devil imagery, they're not afraid to explore new sounds and
lyrical
concepts that offer them a certain freshness and a more modern
approach. It
has been quite a long time a band had not shown such conviction in a
such an
extreme music style. Not hiding behind silly make up, MUTANT tear the
whole
place with anger, speed and creativity.
