History
Formation, Darkness of Ignorance and early lineup changes
The band was formed in 1992 by a group of school friends (José Saxlund, Adam Nilsson, Jonas Lyxzén and Mattias Abrahamson), and began playing local shows and recording demos, taking its name from a lyric in Shelter's debut album. After around a year the group recorded its debut EP, Darkness of Ignorance, released on Saxlund's own record label (run by him and Dennis Lyxzén), Desperate Fight Records. Shortly after the release of this EP, Kristofer Steen joined as a second guitarist, expanding the group to 5 members. In 1993 the band embarked on their first tour, with Refused in Norway. On the way to their last show in Kristiansund, the entourage crashed their two vehicles (a van and a car) and had to finish the journey by taxi.

City Of Hope
by: AbhinandaI know you know, we´re not free around here. City of hope - City
of hopelessness. I try, with schemes. Freedom, free-
dom, is lost. I seek, you seek, to be free sround here. Build up
wallets - Build up walls. I try, you try, but it seems. Freedom,
freedom is lost. Decentrralize and build a village of hope. Tear
down that hopelessness. Can I, you can, get free around
here, yes we will - Build our village. We try. we try, no more we
do. Freedom, Freedom, Freedom, Simplicity, is the city, the city
of hope.
