Chastisement is a deathmetal band from Sweden. With one hour flying from Stockholm, the capital of Sweden you will end up in Östersund 600km north.
Chastisement started playing seriously somewhere around 1995. Founders of Chastisement are Marcus Edvardsson and Fredrik Magnusson, both guitarists. Fredrik heard about this great drummer Nils and he joined the band shortly after being contacted.
With a few changes in the line-up and great musical improvments we are proud to announce Chastisement of today.

A demo-tape was recorded and release in -97. Chastisement gained a lot of fans locally but it wasn't until the release of their first official CD named ...but lost we are in -99 everything exploded.
Chastisement received a massive and almost overwhelming response from fans, labels and the press! Even though they where tempted to accept one of the many record-deals received they decided to wait.
In the summer of 2001 the band took a break from gigs and rehearsal and entered the TLS AB studio. The full-length CD named Alleviation of pain consists of 13 new tracks which was released 2002-10-11.
