Biography:
Originally founded as a classic-sounding doom band, in Sundsvall, Sweden, Left Hand Solution began their career in the early ‘90s with a set of demos, an appearance on 1993`s Metal North compilation, and 1994`s Shadowdance EP, featuring vocalist Kicki Höijertz, guitarist Jocke Mårdstam, bassist Peter Selin, and drummer Erik Barthold. But the band parted company with Höijertz before 1996`s full-length debut, Fevered, and with guitarist Mårdstam, shortly thereafter, recruiting singer Mariana Holmberg and guitarist Janne Wiklund as replacements, and recording a belated sophomore album entitled Light Shines Black for release in 2001. This saw Left Hand Solution progressing towards a more gothic style, but was followed by nothing but silence as the band struggled to find a new record deal after being dropped by Massacre Records.
