This metal never gets rusty !
The concept is easy. Heavy metal with strong melodies and powerful chorus. Jonas Stenlund, Peter Stenlund and Jonas Cederteg is LAUDAMUS, a trio from "the deep forrests in the north of Sweden". A town called Piteå to be more precise. The members have played together for a two years and their first full-length album was released in December 1999. But yet it's live that the band has made themselves a reputation as one of the most interesting acts in Sweden right now. They give all they got from the beginning until the end, and the show is really something extra. During 1999 and the beginning of 2000 Laudamus has done a number of gigs in very varied places, and they have always got a warm reception. Laudamus is a band you won't forget straight off, if you get the opportunity to see them live don't miss it !
Past to present
In April -92 the single Be There Forever/Overlord was released. That year in May, Laudamus got a good backup on the guitar front by Stefan Berg. In July, Pelle quit. The name of the new bass player was Fredrik Burström. As soon as he'd joined the band, they started the work with the material that would turn out to result in a CD-single, Ready Or Not. Once again with Simonsen behind the wheel. It was released in February 1993. Peter och Anneli got married that summer. The last demo with this line-up was made in December -93, called Realise/ Until The End. 1994 meant changes, and Laudamus went underground for a while. That spring, bass guitarist Burström left the band and Peter's younger brother Jonas filled in. As summer announced its presence, Sandlund and then Anneli announced their departure. Left standing were the Stenlund bros... Together with Micke Linné and partly also Stefan Berg, they played temporary in a new project called Reach Out. Linné moved to Gothenburg one year later to study, and was suddenly gone. From the fall of -95 and for the following two years, Marcus Nyström sat behind the drums while Göran Norberg stood behind the keyboard. A rock mass was put together and got crowded the two times it was performed in 1997. Jonas Cederteg replaced Nyström in December -97, and now Laudamus got their fire relighted. At times they had help from Jocke Axelsson on keyboard. During spring 1998, the idea of a full-length CD had grown strong and the material was basically already made. 1999 came and in January the boys began the recording work. The three guys rehearsed very intensive that year. Owing to different circumstances, the recording took a long time. The CD was released December 12th 1999.
