Swedish death metal heralds SOREPTION were founded in late 2005, adding a new face to the young talents in the current technical death metal scene.
The story begins when 9 year old Tony Westermark heard Kiss for his first time and decided to be a rockstar, no thougths of being anything else.
He got his first drumkit when he was twelve and started out with his first band right away.
The band introduced him to Metallica and the music blew him away. They played Metallica covers for a couple of years and then got into heavier stuff like Pantera etc.
At the age of 15 he discovered Death Metal and got serious about his drumming and started to write music.
Late 2005 Tony Westermark teamed up with young and talented guitarist/composer Anton Svedin, bassplayer Rickard Persson and brutal vocalist Fredrik Söderberg.
SOREPTION was born. Goals were set high from the start and they decided to contact Chris and Tommy Rehn to produce and record 4 songs.Due to the high quality in their music they were instantly offered a management deal and in April 2008 a Record deal with Tommy and Cris´s label Cube1 Records.
SOREPTION unleash their surgically precise and unique, razorsharp violence with technically and artistically advanced riffs topped off with in your face brutal vocals, leaving the listener nothing short of stunned and ready to bow down to the mature display of how death metal should be played. Giving the established names a run for their money, these twenty year olds perform their art with finesse, extremity and musicality.
A very unusual combination especially for a band as young as SOREPTION.
'Illuminate The Excessive' EP was recorded, mixed and produced at Sidelake Studios Sundsvall by Tommy and Chris Rehn from ANGTORIA.
Artwork, design + bonus DVD filmed and edited by Chris Rehn.
"THERE is no such thing as too much quality death metal, and so it´s a real thrill to add SOREPTION to the list of bands that continue to keep the genre so vibrant and compelling." METAL HAMMER UK
SOREPTION´s four-track EP, "Illuminate the Excessive", featuring a five-song bonus live DVD from their first ever Liveperformance, will be released June 23, 2008. Distribution worldwide by Listenable Records.
