Nightshade

The band is based in Kungsbacka, south of Gothenburg, Sweden. It was once known as Northern Shadow, but the name was changed to Nightshade in January 1996. After serious line-up changes (in fact, the only remaining member is singer Daniel Kvist), the first official demo, "The Benighted", was recorded at ART Studio in June 1997. A few bassists then prepared the second demo. This led to the recruitment of a keyboardist. Later, in October 1998, the demo "Devil" was recorded at Studio Fredman. The following year, at the "Bohusröjjet" concert/contest, the winning prize of five days at Necromorbus Studio was collected, and in July of the same year, the third demo "Astoreth" was recorded.
