about
You could probably refer to DEBASE, from Malmoe Sweden as the band who defies all attempts to be labelled. Critics nationally as well as internationally, have in positive reviews put them in genres like doom, thrash, power and neo-metal and compared them to the likes of, to name a few, Machine Head, Rammstein, Metallica and Queensrÿche. Even though DEBASE’s music seems difficult to describe, there's really nothing complicated in their cocky delivered, brutal and above all catchy heavy metal, heavy being the main word. As Micko Twedberg (bass) simply puts it, "The DEBASE-sound is just the natural sound of us five combined." In 1996 Micko, together with guitarists Jonas Karlgren and Sigge Riesbeck, formed DEBASE and when lead singer Michael Hansson and the band’s first drummer Marten Hedener joined they quickly established themselves as a strong and powerful liveband. After cooperating with Roasting House Production "The World is Listening" was released in 1999 for the world to hear. The album was very well received when launched in Europe and after replacing drummer Hedener with Johan Helgesson DEBASE once again confirmed their reputation as being charismatic metalengines with an astonishing ability to conquer the stage. The stage is where they prove themselves as the tight, confident, hardworking band they are and if you haven't experienced DEBASE's live perfomance, you haven't really heard DEBASE.
