History

Faceshift, from Stockholm, Sweden is a band that while firmly rooted in classic heavy metal from the 80´s and 90´s, incorporates elements of grunge, prog, death and blues to create their own unique blend of music. The band's second album, the critically acclaimed All Crumbles Down embodies the diversity of all the members and their musical origins, ranging from drummer Stefan Norgren´s prog metal roots from Seventh Wonder, via singer Timo Hovinen´s grunge-esque vocals, through the death landscapes mastered by bassist Mika Kajanen and Petri Tarvainen to lead guitarist David Bertilsson´s bluesy touch. Immune to trends and fads, Faceshift writes, records, produces and performs from the heart and anyone who has seen, heard or experienced Faceshift will tell you that they´re a true force to be reckoned with.
