Band biography Upload photo
Tiamat is a Swedish band that has evolved from being one of a thousand ordinary death metal bands to a unique atmospheric gothic metal band. In 1987 there was a band named Brainwarp but I´m not quite sure how this is related to Tiamat. Tiamat was originally formed under the name Treblinka in 1988 by vocalist/guitarist/keyboardist Johan Edlund, at that time going by the name Hellslaughter. They released two demos, "Crawling in Vomits" and "Sign of the Pentagram" which led to a deal with CMFT from England. They now decided to change their name to Tiamat for the release of their debut album in 1990. This album was produced by the band themselves. Since CMFT did not care too much about the band and did not even give them royalties for the album they decided to sign with the major label Century Media who had taken interest in the band. For their first album on Century Media they immediately got the chance to work together with well-known producer Waldemar Sorychta and engineer Siggi Bemm.
