Artist Biography
Available in:

Deranged is Sweden's answer to Carcass, Suffocation and Cannibal Corpse. The brutal band was formed in 1990 and soon thereafter recorded The Confessions Of A Necrophile demo. The group appeared on stage for the first time in December of 1991. Japan's Obliteration Records releases the 7" EP The Confessions Continues, which is essentially a re-release. At this time, the band gets an album deal with Repulse Records, which releases the MCD The Architects Of Perversion thus properly putting the band on the map. The band covers In League With Satan for a Venom cover album and also appeared on a Repulse sampler. This MCD featured solos by Mike Amott which the band later claimed were spontaneously done in the studio!

MMI Records of Germany releases another 7" called Upon The Medical Slab. As expected, the band's cover artwork receives the censor's treatment and is banned in many locations. Rated-X - whose cover was unsuitable for most pressing plants - is next. The first two thousand copies featured a second CD, an EP called Sculpture Of The Dead. This EP was meant for Germany’s Invasion Records. The song Killing Spree becomes an amazing video. This album is followed by High On Blood, which no longer features singer Per Gyllenback who is now busy with his Wrong Again Records label. In this period, the band loses a proposed contract with Invasion Records. As it turns out Invasion had believed Amott to be a full time member of Deranged and was only interested in Amott's name and presence. The proposed MCD called Sculpture Of The Dead appears as a bonus to the first 2000 copies of Rated-X.

The band later signs to Per's new venture Regain Records. As mandated by the laws of the Kingdom of Sweden, all Deranged members partake in two dozen side projects.

2001's self-titled album is Anderberg's last one. Rogga Johansson is announced as the band's singer at that point. Plainfield Cemetary appeared in September, 2002 and features new singer and bassist Calle Fäldt. The band recruited bassist Tomas Ahlgren of Arsonist and Pandemonium in late 2006. The group and Listenable Records parted ways in 2007. The band then recorded a demo and signed with Regain Records, which was owned and managed by its former frontman Per. A new album called The Red Light Murder Case was due in the autumn. Following Axelsson and Wemén’s departure, the rest of the band decided to split up in 2008. Axelsson joined Thorium. A predictably reformed Deranged was to play at 2009’s Gothenburg Deathfest, which was set to take place October 3rd at Henriksberg in Gothenburg, Sweden. Martin Schönherr was the singer. In 2011, Deranged was in Berno Studio again recording its eighth album, Cut, Carve, Rip, Serve, which would be released through Sevared Records. Martin Schönherr was on vocals. The group’s five-song EP, Morgue Orgy, would be released on CD in early 2013 through Sevared Records.

Johan Axelsson also works as an engineer having recorded many acts.
