Falkenberg inSweden . It was formed by André Gonzales (guitar), Simon Wien (guitar) and Per Qvarnström (drums) in 1999. Eventually, after several different members, bassist Henrik Persson joined and stayed, later on singer Christoffer Andersson as well. Two demos were now recorded, By Night (2000) and Derelict (2001).However, Christoffer Andersson had to leave the band in 2002 due to some social reasons and a new singer was needed. And so they found Adrian Westin, singer of the band Agressive Serpent (now called
Trendkill ). Now they recorded the demo Lamenation. After that By Night was voted as the best unsigned band by magazines likeMonster Magazine and Close-Up.In 2004 they decided to cooperate with
Lifeforce Records and to release an EP together withCipher System (also signed under Lifeforce). And so Split was released.They have now released two full albums,
