In Flames

In Flames is a Swedish alternative metal band from Gothenburg, formed in 1990. The band's earlier work is considered to be a major influence to the melodic death metal music genre, although they have distanced themselves from the melodic death metal sound. Since the band's conception in 1990, they have received numerous awards and released nine studio albums and one live DVD. The band has enjoyed increased popularity in recent years, both in its native Sweden and internationally. As of 2008, In Flames has sold over two million records worldwide.

Sebastian Ingrosso

Sebastian Ingrosso (born Sebastian Carmine Ingrosso) was born on April 20, 1983 and grew up in Sweden. He works closely with his childhood friend, Steve Angello, as well as Axwell in a three person DJ group. They began calling themselves the Swedish House Mafia as a joke, but the name stuck, and became official. Eric Prydz was part of an earlier version of the group, and while they all remain friends, Prydz has left the group to pursue his own projects. Angello, Ingrosso, and Axwell collaborate on many projects, sometimes all together and sometimes with only 2 of the 3 members contributing.

Dodge

Dodge is a Swedish Alternative Metal/Melodic Metalcore band. It all originated back in ´98 when INHALE was formed. The music was then a mix between nu-metal and hard-core with Swedish lyrics. It didn’t take long before labels showed interest for the band, and in 1999 they where signed to a Swedish production label and the debut-album was recorded. Although many labels considered the album promising it was delayed and didn’t hit the stores until spring 2002. This resulted in a poor sale of the album and a departure of two members, in other words… INHALE split up.
