Chainwreck has been around since 2003 and are therefore a beast in the know how to bear the burden of heavy rock. A quartet hailing from Falun, Sweden, with the release of two albums and a couple of EP:s up to this date. After a few years of inactivity – a result of family life and other musical endeavours – Chainwreck is back with a vengeance. A very intense, immensely heavy live act fronting a massive wall of sound. Alternately upbeat, midtempo and slow. But with no intention on ever compromising the heaviness. All music published is available through Spotify, Youtube as well as on cd.
Chainwreck har varit med sedan 2003 och är en rutinerad best. Falukvartetten har släppt två fullängdsalbum och ett gäng Ep:s, och är efter ett par år i skärmsläckarläge på grund av andra musikaliska utflykter, nu tillbaka på riktigt och ämnar visa var alla stora skåp ska stå framöver. Det är lite snabbt, lite långsamt, lite melodiskt, ofta hårt och nästan alltid tungt något så förbannat. Ett grymt liveband med rejält mäktig ljudvägg.

In 2003 Mathias Henrysson, guitarist and singer of Cudfish, recorded some demos this resulted in two songs. After teaming up with vocalist Sonny Jonasson (Komotio, Crustum) and guitarist Kimmo Holappa, (ex- Demon Cleaner) the decision was made to form what was to become Chainwreck. A kick-ass bassplayer, Björn Tauman (Cudfish, Without Grief) then joined the crew and this unit came to terms with a deadly groove and intricate melodies right away.
By this time, gigs had already been booked. The band was still clearly short of a drummer, but hey, what the hell, you gotta go where the action is! Fortunately, Magnus Karlsson (Cudfish, Renessaince of fools, Thalamus) stepped in to hammer those old skins. He later on left the band, due to other duties. Olle Mårthans (Dozer, ex- Walking Worm Colony, Caveto) was the perfect replacement and came along for the ride with Chainwreck, which was about to lead headfirst into the studio. In late 2004, Chainwreck paid a visit to producer Tommy Tägtgren`s wellknown Studio Abyss and recorded its very first promo entitled ”This act of anger”.
In february 2005 the quintet parted ways with guitarrist Kimmo Holappa. A long-time friend, Henrik Palm (Sonic ritual, In Solitude, ex- Walking Worm Colony, Caveto) , raised his axe and became the newest addition to the Chainwreck family. During 2005 they once again entered Studio Abyss and recorded their self-titled debut album, a creation absolutely packed with pummeling metal with a mean twist of melody every now and then. It was released in May 2006 on Indie-label ADR-Production. It received good reviews and manifested Chainwreck as an actor to be reckoned for real.
In January 2006 Olle left the band due to music-studies in Stockholm, which made it difficult for him to stay on the drumstool in Chainwreck. Once again, the hunt for a killer dude behind the battery was on, and this time the shit really hit the fan…in a good way. Emil Lantz (The Spookshow, ex- Bonedivers, International sinners, Brazen riot) joined Chainwreck by the time of March 2006.
In July 2006 Henrik Palm left the band. Chainwreck then continued as a four-piece with Mathias handling all the guitar duties.
Six months later the now well-established quartet went into Black Lounge Studio together with the talented producer Jonas Kjellgren. The three song-promo, entitled ”Silence equals death” has been spread worldwide and its songs are included on the, second Chainwreck album ”A season of hates perfection”. The bandmembers produced it themselves, and let Jonas Kjellgren handle the finishing touches such as mixing and mastering. It`s a massive, unpredictable slob of majestic metal with a raw and wicked sense of brutality. Expect everything, prepare for anything.
In 2008 Chainwreck signed a distribution deal with ISMA and that made it possible for people to buy Chainwreck music worldwide.
In 2009 the second fullength album ”A season of hates perfection” was released and the band continued to play shows in Scandinavia. The album was very well received by the fans and got some really good reviews.
The past is present and the future is here. Waiting to let all hell break loose. So are Chainwreck.
”This is really heavy//…//But not just heaviness, there’s great melodies as well and singer Sonny Jonasson shows off a wide vocal range//…//Let’s hope for more releases from this Falun-band.” Magnus Larsson, cdskapet.blogsome.com 2006/10/05
”Musically somewhat similar to both Skinlab and Slipknot//…//a few really nice passages and twisted breaks, which adds up to the dark and dejected mood that sets the tone for the album.” Jesper Hasselström, Close-Up Magazine 2006/10 Nr.86
Chainwreck A season of hates perfection(ADR-Production/Isma) 4/5 Inledningslåten “The funeral mantra” visar upp dalabandet Chainwreck när de är som allra starkast. Denna Mudvayne-minnande komposition har en skoningslös attack som balanseras av andhämtningar vilka förstärker deras mörka, grindcore-kryddade metal. Ett konstant kompromisslöst ös, om än så kvalitativt, kan bli mättande i längden. Mathias Henryssons nedstämda och…
God damn it – what a commotion! Chainwreck is a quintet with its members hailing from Dalecarlia and Stockholm, including Close-Up writer Sonny Jonasson. This is an extraordinary example of how to embody the sound of new metal. The contents on their second album come across as brutal, hysterical, mechanical and barren – but with…
I jakt på lite ny musik lyckades jag hitta svenska metalbandet Chainwreck och de fångade min uppmärksamhet ganska omgående. Chainwrecks första självbetitlade fullängdsalbum kom ut på nätet 2006 och släpptes på cd i början av veckan, men “A season of hates perfection” från 2009 är tyngre, råare och mer intensivt och jag hoppas detta snart…

”Chainwreck from Falun sounds like nothing else. They demolish the crowd like a rabid dog in a steam-roller, in a way that few bands are capable of. Standing in the middle of the crowd at a Chainwreck concert is a little bit like being in a military trench during World War 2. By terrifying roars…

The Rockhouse, Borlänge Chainwreck från Falun, Avesta och Stockholm är namnet på läpparna denna kväll och när de släpper sina bombmattor över lokalen förstår man varför. Det här är riktigt kraftfull hardcore/dödsmetall. Sonny Jonasson lullar omkring på scenen med ett byxhäng som exponerar de röda kalsongerna och levererar vokala insatser som gång på gång skapar…
