Sweden (1997 – present)
Though they seem unheard of to the general populace, Gävle, Sweden’s GADGET has roots that trace back to 1997. At that time, GADGET existed as the grinding alter-ego of a metal-core band whose members, including GADGET progenitor William Blackmon, simply switched instruments. This early version of GADGET existed long enough to record one demo and then disappear at the end of ‘98.
In late ‘99, Blackmon joined local death metal troupe WITHERED BEAUTY and another local grind outfit in his spare time. The compromises of both were unfulfilling so Blackmon decided to take things back to the proverbial drawing board and, as he recounts, “start making music for myself, by myself and with myself.”
The second coming of GADGET was starting to take place. “I just kept the name since I came up with it.” Blackmon says. He continues, “GADGET was planned to be a solo project. I was fed up with playing in bands without substance. I was fed up with being in just one of those other projects that disappear after a couple of months. I was fed up with the shallow lyrics and the focus on ‘cool’ instead of ‘honest’ or even ‘good.’ I wanted, but for once, to play grind/metal with something more to offer than just ‘cool’ music.”
Blackmon set to work piecing music together in his rehearsal space with his guitar rig, drum set, and trusty eight-track recorder. Soon enough though he decided this approach wasn’t working.
