Biography

Originally founded as a classic-sounding doom band, in Sundsvall, Sweden, Left Hand Solution began their career in the early �90s with a set of demos, an appearance on 1993's Metal North compilation, and 1994's Shadowdance EP, featuring vocalist Kicki H�ijertz, guitarist Jocke M�rdstam, bassist Peter Selin, and drummer Erik Barthold. But the band parted company with H�ijertz before 1996's full-length debut, Fevered, and with guitarist M�rdstam, shortly thereafter, recruiting singer Mariana Holmberg and guitarist Janne Wiklund as replacements, and recording a belated sophomore album entitled Light Shines Black for release in 2001. This saw Left Hand Solution progressing towards a more gothic style, but was followed by nothing but silence as the band struggled to find a new record deal after being dropped by Massacre Records. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia, All Music Guide
