Unleashed is a Swedish death metal band formed in 1989 by bassist Johnny Hedlund after he left Nihilist for personal reasons. The band was one of the first death metal groups to write songs about history and Scandinavian culture instead of the violent and negative lyrics that are common in the genre.
In 1991, the band released their debut studio album, Where No Life Dwells, and toured with Morbid Angel in Europe and United States.
In 1992, Unleashed released their second studio album, Shadows in the Deep, including a cover version of Venom’s Countess Bathory. Their next studio albums were Across the Open Sea in 1993 and Victory in 1995, the latter being the last album which guitarist Fredrik Lindgren played on. Lindgren focused on playing punk rock, and Unleashed replaced him with Fredrik Folkare, who played guitar on the fifth Unleashed studio album Warrior in 1997.
The band went on hiatus, after 7–8 years of recording and touring. They were concentrating on life outside the music business, their musical side projects, and studying. After a reissue of the band’s classics in 2002, the band released a new album called Hell’s Unleashed in 2002, and they began to tour once again. This was also the same year Hedlund had to deal with allegations of having Nazi sympathies.

Unleashed are currently in Fredrik's "Chrome studio" for the recording of our 10th full length album. The album will be released on Nuclear Blast records early next year. Musically, it will be the logical continuation from "Midvinterblot" and "Hammer Battalion". Lyrically, you will recognize what has become the Unleashed trademark since more than 20 years, the combination of the past, present and future of viking struggle and way of life. A few of the songs also mark the beginning of a story never before told. More details about the album and songtitles coming soon.
