Additional notes
Began as a solo project of Peter Tägtgren in 1990 under the name Seditious. The band stated out as a death metal outfit, but overtime they have became more melodic. At one point, they were considered mallcore and to some are still considered mallcore. Overall, today they are close to a melodic-death metal outfit.
