Grimfist

The band's debut album, Ghouls of Grandeur, was recorded in Abyss Studios in Sweden, March 2003, and was mixed by Peter Tägtgren. The record was well received by the critics, who noted the band's unique mix of heavy metal, black metal and death metal. The collaboration was between guitarist Ole Walaunet (Deride), drummer Horgh (Immortal, Hypocrisy), and vocalist Frediablo (ex-Necrophagia, Gorelord, Hemnur).

Horgh left the band in 2004 to concentrate on his duties as Hypocrisy's drummer. He was replaced by Christian Svendsen (a.k.a. "Anti Christian") known from bands like Tsjuder and The Cumshots.^[1][2] Robin Eaglestone of Cradle of Filth handled live bass duties in the band for a little while in 2005–2006.

In 2005, Grimfist released their follow-up record, Ten Steps to Hell. The record received 4/5 points in Kerrang! magazine.^{[citation needed]} Tours with Susperia and Red Harvest followed.

In September 2005, the band's vocalist Frediablo issued a statement saying he was quitting all of his musical projects and bands, except for Grimfist.^{[citation needed]} He eventually left Grimfist as well in August 2006,^[3] because he got tired of the music scene.^[4]

In August 2008, Frediablo re-joined Grimfist.
