Lifelover is a Swedish black metal band, formed in 2005 by B and ( ).
Biography
Lifelover was formed in June 2005 by B and ( ) in Stockholm, Sweden. A demo called Promo 2005 was recorded the same month, it contained two tracks of improvised misery, but it was never officially released. In early 2006, Lifelover started to write material without any boundaries and it was all written from what came to mind at the time, and eventuality the band had songs for a complete album, and decided to try to do something with it..
The recording of Pulver began in April, 2006, LR and 1853 where recruited to the band. The album was finished in May 2006. After about two month Pulver was released on CD by Goatowarex the 25th of July, 2006. The LP-version was released by Northern Sky Productions some months later. The response to the album, both in a positive and negative way was pretty massive and nothing that Lifelover had ever expected.
Some time passed and new material started to take form and the recording of Erotik began, and H. joined the crew. Erotik was released by Total Holocaust Records the 24th of February, 2007. The LP-version was released in co-operation between Blut & Eisen and Eternity Records.
In late 2007, Lifelover signed a contract with and recruited two new members, Fix on bass and S on drums for upcoming live shows. LR left the band in April, 2008. Lifelover performed a miserable first live show at Harry B James in Stockholm, September 28, 2008.
Lifelover's third album Konkurs was released by Avantgarde Music, October 10, 2008. The limited edition of the album contained among other things the Promo from 2005, on CD format.
Osmose Productions re-issued both Pulver and Erotik on CD in 2009, Erotik was re-issued the 21st of January 2009 and Pulver the 7th of May. Member 1853 and live-drummer S. both left the band in May 2009. Already some days later Lifelover was joined by a new drummer called Non.
Lifelover finished the work on their new MCD called Dekadens in July, 2009. It was released October 8 by Osmose Productions on CD. The MLP version will be out through Elitmusik within some month. Dekadens features seven tracks, and is the first Lifelover release with real drums, handled by the newest member Non.
From October 1 to October 4, 2009, Lifelover performed the PulverCities mini-tour in Germany and the Netherlands. Four gigs where performed. It was both a miserable and good experience, and was something this band truly needed. November 27, 2009 Lifelover performed at Helvete Metal Club in Germany, and November 28 at Garage in Oslo, Norway.
January the 5th, 1853 re-joined the line-up, after having taking a break from Lifelover. On January the 19th, 2010, Non left the band.
February 14, 2011 Lifelover released their fourth album called Sjukdom.
