Flegma

Sweden's Flegma originated in 1987 as a hardcore outfit modeled on Discharge. Multiple demo recordings across the following years gradually steered the group toward thrash metal textures. Their 1992 debut album Blind Acceptance crystallized that shift, prompting comparisons to Motörhead and to death metal peers such as Entombed. The 1994 follow-up Flesh to Dust then displayed several gothic traits that directly prompted vocalist Kalle Metz, guitarist Martin Olsson, and bassist Richard Lion to launch their next project, Tenebre. Second guitarist Jörgen Lindhe and drummer Martin Brorsson, by contrast, slipped into obscurity once the band dissolved.
