The Scandinavian Aftermath album from Swedish melodic metal band dEMOTIONAL was rereleased last month, and now comes their latest single and video, in ‘Everbound‘.
This group has become an anchor in the Swedish metal scene, causing a stir ever since their debut album State: In Denial in 2013. And they have not been slowing down since. Their second album Tarassis got them a spot as main support on Dead By April‘s European tour and also their own headline shows around the world, including Russia.
During 2016 dEMOTIONAL focused mainly on producing music and the album Discovery was ready by the end of the year, and described as “their most ambitious creation to that date”. It was produced by Pontus Hjelm and released in May 2017, with a truckload of touring followed. Three albums, and a life time of adventures around the world later, they were read to release forth album Scandinavian Aftermath.
With over 15 million streams on Spotify alone and a constant listener base of 100k, various live shows, tours, radio airplay, four albums and a lifetime of adventures later, the Gothenburg quintet has signing a worldwide record deal with AFM Records.
“We are extremely excited to start this co-operation with AFM Records” said the band. “They are the first label in a loooong time that actually seem to give a f&%k about the artist and the music that´s created. With vast experience of the music business and with a updated and modern perspective on the industry, we are more than ready to take on the future together.”
The band features Nils-Petter Nilsson (Vocals), Christopher Kristensen (Screams), Johan Olofsson (Guitar), Sebastian Fjordevik (Guitar), Kristoffer Lindh (Bass).

Nils Wasko, senior A&R director at AFM added: “Signing dEMOTIONAL is a coup for AFM Records. They are very talented and smart artists with fans all over the world, including us at AFM. They’ve made major steps forward as a self-releasing artist who now enters a new sphere with major and global label support. Our partnership exemplifies again AFM’s worldwide A&R strategy – signing and supporting the best talent on the rise – everywhere.”
