The band was formed by [[Michael Amott]] and [[Johan Liiva]] in 1988. They released only one album before dissolving in 1990. ==History== Carnage was founded as "Global Carnage" at the end of 1988 by [[Michael Amott]] and [[Johan Liiva]], but quickly renamed themselves to Carnage. The band released two widely traded cassette demos, ''The Day Man Lost'', and ''Infestation of Evil'' in 1989. Carnage was plagued by lineup changes, eventually releasing their only album ''[[Dark Recollections]]'' in 1990, featuring Michael Amott as the sole founding member. By the time the album hit the streets, the band was broken up for good. The album was originally released as a split CD with [[Cadaver (band)|Cadaver]]'s ''[[Hallucinating Anxiety]]'' on [[Necrosis Records]],a subdivision of [[Earache Records]], and was re-released with bonus tracks in 2000. Michael Amott went on to join [[Carcass (band)|Carcass]], and later form [[Arch Enemy (band)|Arch Enemy]] (with [[Johan Liiva]]) and [[Spiritual Beggars]]. [[Matti Kärki]], [[David Blomqvist]] and [[Fred Estby]] went on to reform [[Dismember (band)|Dismember]]. ==Discography== * ''The Day Man Lost'' (1989 demo) * ''Live in Stockholm'' (1989 [[EP]]) * ''Infestation of Evil'' (1989 demo) * ''[[Dark Recollections]]'' (1990) ==Members== * [[Michael Amott]] - guitars (1988-1991) * [[Matti Kärki]] - vocals (1989-1991) * [[Fred Estby]] - drums (1989-1991) * David Blomqvist - guitar (1989-1991) * Johnny Dordevic - bass (1989-1991) * [[Johan Liiva]] - bass, vocals (1988) * Jeppe Larsson - drums (1988) ==External links== *[http://www.myspace.com/carnageswe Carnage] at [[MySpace]] (tribute) [[Category:Swedish heavy metal musical groups]] [[Category:Swedish death metal musical groups]] [[Category:Musical groups established in 1988]] [[Category:Musical groups disestablished in 1991]] [[es:Carnage (grupo musical)]] [[ja:カーネイジ]]
