Although less expressive than Scandinavian scene giants like At the Gates or In Flames (maybe they also should have adopted a preposition), Centinex ar among the oldest death metal bands to issue from Sweden, having formed as early as 1990 but not real attaining significant life history momentum until many long time later. Starting with 1991's The End of Life demo, Centinex's semi-original line up of vocalist Mattias Lamppu, guitarists Andreas Evaldsson and Kenneth Wiklund, bassist Martin Schulman and drummer Joakim Gustavsson recorded a identification number of main sessions which were oddly only released in cassette form. These included ‘92's Subconscious Lobotomy L.P., ‘93's Under The Blackened Sky E.P., ‘94's Transcend the Dark Chaos E.P. and, after a few years of inaction, ‘96's Malleus Maleficarum, which capped this roiled coming of years by compilation rare and unreleased tracks. Centinex entered a new phase of their vocation with 1997's Reflections and its straightaway successor Reborn through and through Flames of a year later, both of which, scorn requiring the use of a drum simple machine (oddly credited on both albums as Kalimaa), power saw a far more than confident and mature band eventually sexual climax to grips with their position in the local scene -- that beingness a typically aggressive, but silent melodious Scandinavian death metal sound in the At the Gates nervure. A major personnel office reshuffling began pickings space over the course of action of 1999's Bloodhunt E.P. and 2000's Hellbrigade album, so that by the time they released 2002's Diabolical Desolation vocaliser Jonas Jansson, guitarists Jonas Kjellgren and Jonas Ahlberg and drummer Kennet Englund had coupled the ever-present Martin Schulman in the Centinex quintet.
