Biography

TYRANEX was formed in Stockholm, Sweden in December 2005 by guitarist Linnea Landstedt and singer Paloma Estrada. We wanted to create a band to take the listeners back to the 80: s early heavy metal sound. The hunting for other members started immediately and soon we had a full line-up where Stefan Thylander became the bassplayer. After some weeks of rehearsing we recorded 3 songs in a local studio and those were put on the first demo we did.
In the end of 2006 Paloma left the band and Linnea was chosen to be the new singer. With the new kind of singing style, more unclean than before and heavy metal high-pitched screams the sound changed a lot. We wrote more songs, played them fast and aggressive and the sound of old school metal was taking form.

In January 2008 TYRANEX recorded the demo “Blade of The Sacrificer”. The release made people around the world interested in the band. We got great responses and the demo was sold out in 252 copies.
Later the same year we decided to bring in one more guitar, Martin Zettmar joined us.

The rest of the year and the new year of 2009 became a period for us when we played live. We had a lot of shows in Stockholm but also in other cities of Sweden. We got our first gig abroad – Göttingen, Germany and later we played in Helsinki, Finland too.
During this period we also recorded our next demo “The Evil has Arrived”, which was released in April 2009.

Though everything had gone great for the band, the rest of 2009 was a hard time for TYRANEX as we suddenly stood there without a drummer. Things were proceeding slowly and it was not until March 2010 we had found a replacer. Johannes Lindström became the new drummer of TYRANEX.

In April we signed a record contract with Infernö Records and the planning of recording our debut album "Extermination has begun". It was finished and releaed in June 2011.

Existing since late 2005, TYRANEX has already had many members coming and going. We are careful to choose members with the same goal and intensions to push the band further and become something more than just another band.

We want to thank every member of TYRANEX, you have all made contributions in one way or another and we wouldn’t have been what we are if it wasn’t for you!
