In Solitude
(Heavy Metal Group)

The band In Solitude was created in 2002. The Swedes Niklas Lindstrom (guitar), Uno Bruniusson (drums), Gottfrid Ahman (bass) and Henrik Helenius (guitar / vocals) gave birth to the band In Solitude. All members came from Uppsala, Sweden (the same town as Watain & Invidious).

Then in 2003 Pelle Ahman, a.k.a. Hornper, (vocals) arrived to the band.

In 2004, In Solitude released the band’s first self-titled demo.

In 2005 guitarist/vocalist Henrik Heleius leaves the group, however, Mattias Gustafsson enters.

In 2006 the band released the second demo Hidden Dangers.

In 2008, Sweden’s S.M.P. Records released the EP Hidden Dangers as a 7” which quickly sold out. The same year the band unleashes their nameless 8 song, full-length debut in the form of a CD on Pure Steel Records and cast in wax on High Roller Records. Captured at Burlesco Studios, the same as the demos, this now famous debut was produced by Hasse Bruniusson. The heat of the album spread throughout the country as both versions rapidly was sold out.

Heeding to a growing following, especially in Germany and their home country of Sweden, In Solitude embarked on a handful of European tours. Many festivals also witnessed this new beast, namely Keep It True, Up the Hammers, Pounding Metal, Metal Magic and Hell’s Pleasures festivals. In the middle of this, however, another member falls, and by the end of 2009 Mattias Gustafsson left.

2010 saw In Solitude signing a worldwide deal with Metal Blade Records. This is also the year that Henrik Palm, vocalist and guitarist for the heavy punkers Sonic Ritual, passes the trials and thus a new member enters the group. The cultivation of a new sound continues; one that bears the dynamic powers of youth and the embittered wisdom of the ages.

The week of November 15th, 2010, the group entered Nicke Anderson's (Hellacopters) brand new studio Gutterview Recorders in Stockholm, Sweden, with producer Fred Estby (Dismember, Death Breath) to record the band’s second record, "The World. The Flesh. The Devil", which was released 05/24/2011.

2011 continued with tours throughout Europe and in September a four week tour in USA.

April/May 2012 a new month long US tour (Decibel Magazine Tour) was made and the tour covered over 20 states in US and one stop in Vancouver, Canada.
