TUCK FROM HELL made a sensational album debut 12 years ago with "Thrashing". The band was already a celebrated live act and the road to fame seemed to be mapped out.
But fate had other plans and the band was laid to rest. Almost...
Drummer and bandleader Fredrik Johansson and guitarists Petrus Granar and Marcus Bengts continued to write music.
After Petrus Granar joined "Civil War", the band in which Fredrik's father Nils Patrik Johansson also sings, TUCK FROM HELL eventually shrank to a duo.
"It felt really weird sitting on a bunch of hard-hitting thrash songs without doing anything with them. Our singer Niclas Ingels had no time to focus on music due to his family situation, so what to do? Out of nowhere my father, Nils Patrik, said: "What the hell, I can sing for you. Let's make a whole album." (Frederik Johansson)
The rest is or will be history. They changed the name to RIFFORIA, started recording and had a lot of fun. Peter Granar also returned to the band.
"Axeorcism" delivers ten statements of really strong, modern heavy metal and will continue the successful history of Swedish hard and heavy releases on Metalville Records.
