Thyreos

Thyreos is a Swedish heavy metal band from Degerfors, Sweden, formed in 2001. The band was founded by singer and bass player Fredrik Nordin, who at the beginning only did the vocals. In 2003, when Erik Palmqvist joined as a keyboard player Fredrik also played the drums. In 2007 Henrik S Johansson joined the band and took over as a drummer. Before that Henrik played in a metalband called Disentropy. That same year Thyreos released their official MySpace page and the demo Words Of Evil, containing the tracks Words Of Evil and Me and Myself. The demo was produced by Ronny Milianowicz and it was recorded in Studio Seven. In 2008 guitarist Daniel Birath joined the band which was a great success because Thyreos was in a need of a powerful solo guitarist. Later that year the band began the recording of their debut album Sound Of Destruction, once again in Studio Seven. The album was produced and mixed by Ronny Milianowicz and mastered by Jens Bogren. Thomas Holmstrand designed the booklet. Guitarist Stefan Elmgren, a former member of Swedish band Hammerfall, and singer Beatrice Tjärnbro appeared on the album as guest musicians. In 2009 Thyreos released their debut album Sound of Destruction (by own distribution) which got great reviews in, among others, Close-Up Magazine and Sweden Rock Magazine. The same year the band recorded their first official music video for Sound Of Destruction. The recording mainly took place in a truck shop in Åtorp, but also on a golf course in Degerfors. Of course there are also things that explode in the video, a video which was produced by Thomas Tjäder. The song Dread of Love came to life in 2010, and is now a classic at any Thyreos concert. In this same year the band signed a deal for Sound Of Destruction with the record label Sliptrick Records. Thyreos is now frequently performing and have honored many renowned clubs and venues with their presence, like Harry B James, Rock In and Pub Anchor. And the story continues...
