BIOGRAPHY
MEADOWS END originates from Sweden and plays Symphonic/Melodic Death Metal. The band plays a unique and diverse style of their genre with an old school groove blended with a modern sound.
Meadows End started out as a hobby project by childhood friends in 1998. This was in the wake of the Gothenburg era with bands such as At The Gates, In Flames and Embraced. Years of demos and periods of hibernation followed. It was not until 2009 when half the band members were exchanged that Meadows End decided it was business time. In 2010 the first full length album ODE TO QUIETUS was produced and released by the band themselves. It got well spread on the internet much thanks to YouTuber Ed 'Infidel Amsterdam' Veter. The album was well received and especially the song My Demon became critically acclaimed.
Since 2012, Meadows End has been working on the follow up and on June 13 2014 the second full length album THE SUFFERWELL was released! It contains eleven songs and was recorded during October-December 2013. The album is self-produced and meets all the tough industry production standards of today. The Sufferwell was mixed and mastered by Oscar Nilsson at Crehate Studios, Gothenburg. Cover artwork was made by Fredrik Burholm. Just like its predecessor, The Sufferwell was self-released.
On 11.12.2015 the band announces on their homepage: "Rikard decides to leave Meadows End. We're sad to announce that Rikard has decided to leave Meadows End. He feels that his PhD studies and current life situation does not give him the spare time needed to fulfil his duty in Meadows End. The decision is entirely Riks, and the rest of us can and will do nothing but support him in his decision.
On 1.19.2015 the band announces on their homepage: "Now the time has come to give them a uniform recording and production. New album SOJOURN is currently in production. Artwork once again by Fredrik Burholm! Mix and master by Oscar Nilsson at Crehate Studios, Gothenburg. We will release a song on YouTube on the last of each month, starting with January 31st.
During the years 1999-2006 Meadows End wrote and recorded 12 concept songs that ended up on various demos and EPs, which all deserved better a destiny than to be forgotten. The band select this material and made re-recording for the third full length album SOJOURN."
