Biography

Comecon were a Swedish death metal band active in the early 1990s. Rasmus Ekman and Pelle Ström, who shared guitars & bass duties, were the only members to play on the 3 albums the band released. They never had a real drummer (utilizing programmed drums instead), and every album featured a different singer, each time a well-known name from the death metal scene. On their first effort, 1992’s “Megatrends in Brutality”, vocals were handled by Lars-Göran Petrov, who had just left Entombed (only to rejoin Entombed a bit later). On 1993’s “Converging Conspiracies”, the singer is Martin van Drunen, formerly of Pestilence, who also sung in Asphyx and had a brief stint in Bolt Thrower. Finally, on 1995’s “Fable Frolic”, van Drunen’s successor is Marc Grewe, member of the German death metal outfit Morgoth.

    @falloutian: Same here. Listen to them since 15 years and never knew about they are using a drum-machine on every album until i read about like 2,5-3 years ago. Very well sounding and programmed.

    They sound more punk than death metal

    Always liked all their three albums. Each one is good in a bit different way. Would be really really hard to choose which one is "best". And the drumprogramming was very solid & good considering the time. (I noticed only years later it's machinery, and wondered how I never noticed, ha!)

    I noticed that the drummer is a robot. And elementary chaos theory tells us that all robots will eventually turn against their masters and run amok in an orgy of blood and kicking and the biting with the metal teeth and the hurting and shoving. Good tunes until then, at any rate.

    Converging Conspiracies was the best with Martin Van Drunen on the vocals!
