  Massdistraction

Massdistraction is a Thrash-metal band formed in 2007 by Jon Hjalmarsson (guitar) and Per Hjalmarsson (Bass) under the name Retribution. In 2008 the group was joined by guitarist Martin Grönlund and vocalist David Thornell, and a four song demo (with programmed drums) was recorded with this line-up. In may the same year David Thornell decided to leave the band. And a few months later in august Massdistraction found their drummer David Larsson. We continued to search for a new singer and we found the perfect replacement Johan Nikodemus Hansson in January 2009. By this time we felt that Martin Grönlund was not right for the band because he got so different influences and tryed to change the bands sound so we decided to part ways with him. Ha was replaced by Robbin Sandin who was in the band for 3 months before he also leaved for the same reason. This was by the same time that the band changed the name from Retribution to Massdistraction. We decided to continue as a 4 piece with only one guitarist. This line up stayed for the rest of 2009 and a bit in to 2010. The band started to work on a new demo and wrote alot of new song, but we found out that the new songs needed dual guitars to make them justice so we started to look for another guitarist. By this time we got some sad news from bassist and co-founder Per Hjalmarsson that he no longer wanted to play metal music and he left the band. We started to look for a new bassist and searched al summer. In the end of the summer we found the perfect Rhythm guitarist for the band Ali Nassadjpoor and just a month later we finally found a new bassist that was good enough to replace Per. His name is Kalle Möllerström. So we finnished the 7 song demo called "Succubus" and here we are, with a line-up that feels just great. Members: Jon Hjalmarsson - Guitars (2007-pressent) David Larsson - Drums (2008-pressent) Johan Nikodemus Hansson - Vocals (2009-pressent) Ali Nassadjpoor - Guitars (2010-pressent) Kalle Möllerström - Bass (2010-pressent)
