Bio

Inspired by the Japanese visual-kei scene and the brutality of Swedish hardcore and metal, Marionette has brought new light to the metal genre. Founded in 2005, when the average member’s age was 16, Marionette quickly made a name for themselves in the Swedish metal scene by winning and placing high in many national and international music contests. In support of their EP Terror Hearts -which was mixed and mastered by Fredrick Nordström (In Flames, At The Gates) – Marionette shared the stage with some of the world’s most renown metal acts including: Machine Head, Slayer, Mastodon, Meshuggah, and Candlemass among others.

In January of 2008, Marionette recorded its debut album, Spite, with a series of up-and-coming as well as established producers in Swedish music: including Simon Exner, and two time Swedish Grammy winner Åke Parmerud. Spite was mixed and mastered by Christian Silver (Sonic Syndicate). Mixing elegance, darkness, power, aggression, and speed, Marionette’s debut album, Spite, hit the metal scene with the power of an atomic bomb in April 2008, receiving raving reviews from mainstream and underground publications around Europe. The album was released across North America in September of the same year.

Marionette made its debut European tour in October, topped off with an exclusive showcase at PopKomm in Berlin. Marionette then hit the road with Die Apokalyptischen Reiter for the month long, critically acclaimed, Reiterfestspiele tour. With a UK tour in January, and more gigs lined up across Europe, and the writing process for the next album in
