Zero Illusions was formed in Gothenburg, Sweden in the summer of 2004. It was the inevitable step when the hard rock band Pain and Passion, by that time consisting of singer Björn Asking, bass player Hans Johansson and drummer André Holmqvist was looking for a new sound and a new guitar player. When axe man Janne Lüthje showed up at the audition with his 7-stringed Jackson it all made perfect sense..
The combination of four band members listening and inspires by different bands, and the fact that all music of Zero Illusions is composed together at the rehearsal spot, it opens up for an interesting result. Zero Illusions is influenced and inspired by thrash/metal/industrial bands like Nevermore and Rammstein via the more progressive metal band Pagans Mind. Zero Illusions mixture of heavy guitars and high pitching vocals are best experienced live! The band connects heavy metal parts to lyrics dealing with problems and feelings associated with todays society.
Their first demo contains three songs and was recorded during the fall of 2004 in Jonsered Recording Studio. The bands evolution since then has been extraordinary and they have performed highly acclaimed live gigs as well. Hans decided to leave the band due to personal reasons in late fall 2005. We all wish him the best of luck.
Mikael Ljunggren replaced Hans but played only three months with the band. They went separate ways due to different priorities in life.
Bass magician Tomas Reinerson, whose band résumé would make up three A4-pages, nailed the vacant position in the band and blew everybody away with his playing technique and warm personality.
Zero Illusions has now finished the recording of their debut album which is set for an early 2007 summer release. Meanwhile - get hold of their EP due out in mid March!
