介绍：
Death Metal Victory! JOIN THE BATTALION!!!


Unleashed is a Swedish band that was formed in 1989 by Johnny Hedlund after he left Nihilist.
Viking culture, recollection of a pre-Christian world, and Norse folklore are common themes found in the band's songs.




UNLEASHED - Black Horizon (Hammer Battalion 2008)

Heroes aren’t born overnight. The difference between a one-hit wonder and an overnight sensation is the consistency of their creative work, their long-term significance for the scene. Unleashed count without doubt among the death metal elite and are also considered pioneers of a Nordic mythology metal of the special variety.In 1991, the band released their debut studio album, Where No Life Dwells, and toured with Morbid Angel in Europe and United States.

In 1992, Unleashed released their second studio album, Shadows in the Deep, including a cover version of Venom's Countess Bathory. Their next studio albums were Across the Open Sea in 1993 and Victory in 1995, the latter being the last album which guitarist Fredrik Lindgren played on. Lindgren focused on playing punk rock, and Unleashed replaced him with Frederik Folkare, who played guitar on the fifth Unleashed studio album Warrior in 1997.

The band went on hiatus, after 7–8 years of recording and touring. They were consentrating on life outside the music business, their musical sideprojects, and studying. After a reissue of the band's classics in 2002, the band released a new album called Hell's Unleashed in 2002, and they began to tour once again. This was also the same year Hedlund had to deal with allegations of having Nazi sympathies. It seemed that Dave Grohl of Nirvana and Foo Fighters wanted to approach Johnny Hedlund to contribute lead vocals to one of the songs for his Probot metal project, but the album producer, Matt Sweeney, discouraged him from doing so because of the supposed Nazi sympathies of Hedlund. Hedlund quickly branded these accusations as false and stated, Unleashed praises nature, beast and man. Man....regardless of background, place of birth or color of the skin.

In 2004, Unleashed released their seventh studio album, Sworn Allegiance. In October 2006, the band released their eighth studio album, Midvinterblot. Unleashed toured Europe in November 2006 as part of the Masters of Death tour, with Grave, Dismember, and Entombed. On February and March of 2007 they headlined a North American tour with Krisiun and Belphegor. June of 2008 saw the release of their ninth studio album entitled Hammer Battalion.

On July 24, 2009 it was announced that Unleashed had signed a contract with German label Nuclear Blast Records for the release of their tenth album entitled As Yggdrasil Trembles. In the press statement the band said, "We are very much looking forward to this new cooperation! The recording of the album is scheduled for October/November this year." .

In the start of 2010 Unleashed will be part of the Summer Breeze Open Air heavy metal festival in Germany. The festival will take place in Dinkelsbühl, Bavaria and will feature over 50 bands and draw around 40,000 attendees. The festival is held between August 19-21.
