Biography

Chain Collector is a Norwegian all-star metal project combining the talents of melodic vocalist Kjetil Nordhus (Green Carnation, Trail of Tears), screaming vocalist Svenn Aksel Henriksen (Apostasy, ex-Dismal Euphony), guitarists Gøran Bomann (Carpathian Forest) and Kjell Jacobsen (Neon God), keyboardist/bassist Endre Kirkesola, and drummer Anders Kobro (Carpathian Forest, ex-Green Carnation, ex-In the Woods...). First convened in 2003, the supergroup used a demo recorded the following year to score a two-album deal with Sound Riot Records, then got to work on their 2005 debut, The Masquerade. Composed almost entirely by Bomann along with guest lyricists Johan Leonard and Mie Storbekken Lindstad, the album delivered several angry indictments against the Catholic Church, backed by music consisting predominantly of melodic death metal in the Gothenburg style of At the Gates, Dark Tranquility, and In Flames. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia, All Music Guide

Chain Collector is a heavy metal band from Norway that formed in 2003. Some of the members come from other bands such as Green Carnation, Carpathian Forest, Trail of Tears, Dismal Euphony and In the Woods. In 2004, the Forthcoming Addiction demo, containing four songs, was recorded at DUB studio. The band signed a two album record deal with Sound Riot Records in September 2004, but due to the touring of some members with their other bands at the beginning the year, the production of The Masquerade was not finished until March 2005. In July 2005 the German label Massacre Records became interested in the band, and Sound Riot Records licensed the Chain Collector album to them. Massacre Records released The Masquerade in Europe, Canada, and Australia in November 2005, while Sound Riot Records released their edition in December 2005. They released a second album in 2008.
