The Band

Hailing from Stockholm, Sweden's MUTATION were formed around 2019 as an idea between drummer S.N and guitarist K.L due to their mutual worship of the earlier years of raw death metal.

Eventually, three new members - vocalist N.S, guitarist S.Q, bassist S.B - joined the band in 2022, and MUTATION were finally able to create a demo. Released the next year, their Demo '23 absolutely scorched with utterly unhinged intensity and authentically ancient atmosphere.

Prompted by PERDITION TEMPLE's Gene Palubicki, HELLS HEADBANGERS soon signed MUTATION, and work began on their imminent debut album.
