Band history:
Guitarist and songwriter, Sebastian Fjordevik, who has over the years played in several notorious metal bands, had come to terms that in the winter of 2009 a vast amount of music material had to be delivered to the world. He started with the song “When She Cries” and contacted singers Christopher Kristensen, an experienced singer from several rap/- hardcore bands, and Nils-petter Nilsson , a man rooted in the field of classic rock as well as metal. Also, experienced death metal drummer, Tommy Magnusson, was hired for the project.

Also, experienced death metal drummer, Tommy Magnusson, was hired for the project.
Christopher and Nils-Petter soon saw the
potential with the music and immediately started to work with the song and
became solid members of the soon to be band, dEMOTIONAL.
The song “When She Cries” was recorded as a
music video by director Kristofer Carlsson and quickly became a huge success.
With over 12,000 views on Youtube and over 18,000 visitors on Myspace, the band
members knew they all were on their way to the top to becoming an incredible new
band.
The group took the band name dEMOTIONAL and
recruited a guitarist, Johan Olofsson, from Gothenburg to contribute to the
groups unique music style. The band knew the importance of choosing the right
band members and therefore waited patiently for more recruitments for the time
being.
dEMOTIONAL was not only recognized for their
music but also for their sense of fashion and style on and off stage. The
audience was thrilled to see head banging rockers in suites, and not trashy
jeans and tank tops like the common metal bands typically wore. This was soon
recognized by the clothing producer, ICEMAN., who started to contribute to the
bands style.
After performing in cities like Gothenburg,
Stockholm, Växjö and Karlstad, with the help of drummer Mattias Öbom, the band
decided to make another music video with Kristofer Carlsson. Felling confident,
the band set the bar high and the song “Tomorrow is Today” was chosen. After the
release of this second music video, the band really made a name for themselves
and started to engage in medias such as Youtube, Twitter, Myspace and Facebook
to interact with their growing audience.
In the summer of 2011, Elohims former drummer,
Tommy Magnusson, was enlisted to the band and with recruitment of bassist,
Kristoffer Lindh, the band was finally complete as a
group.
dEMOTIONAL’s music began to play on Karlstad
Rock radio channel and a vast amount of articles were being published in various
magazines about the band. During these exciting times, dEMOTIONAL released their
first EP on Spotify, Itunes and Amazon. They also started the recording of their
third music video. The song “Alive” was released in July 2011 and got over 7,000
views on Youtube in only a short amount of weeks.
The 20th of September 2011, Alive was played on
Swedish radio Channel Bandit Rock for the first time and with this major
accomplishment, dEMOTIONAL have aimed in becoming the biggest band within the
melodic metal genre and will this November perform together with Arch Enemy on
one of Gothenburgs largest scenes after winning a competition held by Century
Media.
We will fight ´till the last drop of tear,
blood and sweat to succeed. If we can´t, no one can…
