BIOGRAPHY

Formed: November 1991 by Hräsvelg and Kolgrim.

Line-up1:

Hräsvelg: Drums, vocals

Kolgrim: Bass, vocals

Åberg: Guitars

Vic: Guitars

The idea for the band actually came about a year before the band was born, when the first three of the original line-up were rehearsing just for a few couple of times.

The 28^th of May 1992 the band played live for the first time, and got the opportunity to record a song for a comp.-cd (featuring only local bands), wich they did in August the same year. This song was re-released a few years later on the Napalm Records comp.-cd "With us or against us".

In the end of September they recorded their first demo. But they didn´t release it until the 12^th of Febuary 93, when the band did their first real gig.

After the gig the two guitarists left the band, and a close friend of the band replaced them immediately.

Line-up 2:

Hräsvelg: Drums, vocals

Kolgrim: Bass, vocals

Surth: Guitars (later in Svartsyn)

The band did their second gig in the middle of June. But this line-up was never meant to be, it only lasted a few months, and Kolgrim and Hräsvelg continued on their own for a while.

Between the summer and autumn of 93 they recorded a huge amount of songs, and released some of them on their 2^nd and 3^rd demo.

In Late January 94 a new guitarist entered the band.

Poock: Guitars

This line-up played live for the first time on the same festival as the previous gig. And in late October the band did their first "unlocal" gig, in Stockholm.

In early November Unpure decided to sign a two-record deal on Napalm Records, and to get rid of their complicating guitarist.

Unpure recorded their first album between January and Febuary 95, and it was released (with a -according to the band- "fucked up" frontcover) in late April, same year.

In September a session-member line-up was made.

John Blackwar: Guitars

With borrowed guitarists from the band "Celestial Pain", Unpure started to rehearse material for a second album. But first they did another local gig the 10^th of November 95, and weren´t able to get in to the studio until early June 96.

Due to irregular recording-time, they weren´t able to finish it until late August, and after that Kolgrim and Hräsvelg was back on their own again.

In September they hit they studio again and recorded the song "Metal Night" for the three-series "Headbangers against Disco" comp.-singels.

In late January 97, Unpure started rehearsing with a session-drummer, for an European tour that unfortunatly never went off.

In late December 97, Unpure went into a studio to record some new material for a Promo-tape, that will be used in haunt for a new record deal.

In Febuary 98, Unpure got the offer to join the "Easter holocaust"- tour in Finland together with three other finnish bands. And as a warm up they once again played a small gig in their hometown, before they entered the Easter holocaust in the 8^th of April, and finnished of with four gigs the 11^th same month.

The song 'Sabbath' from the 'Promotape 1998' was released on the compilation CD '…From the Underground' in March 1999.
