Deonda Ltd | en

Deonda Ltd was formed in mid-1997 in a fusion of other projects. The name "Deonda" was taken in early 1998 after trying and rejecting a few other names. Then consisting of Magnus Borgstrom, Mikael Antich, Nils Nilsson, Bjorn Hedberg and Ulf Nyberg, Deonda released their debut-EP, Life Anthem, in April 1998.

But these members ran into some unsurmountable "cooperational complications", and to spare themselves a lot of pain the band split up in May 1999. However, Borgstrom and Antich were not quite satisfied with this decision, why they decided to continue the work on their own.

During the Death sessions, Borgstrom got in contact with Mikael Drackner (a former member of The Misled), who was asked to put some bass into it. It worked out very well, and he was soon considered a permanent member of the band.

In 2001 the band name was modified to include "Ltd", to emphasize the band's aspirations at expansion and capital accumulation (saywhat?). And in June the same year the band now officially known as Deonda Ltd released a new CDM-promo named Demonstration 2001. This release also featured additional vocals by Maria Bemark for the first time.

After that the "band" has become a somewhat fluent "project", as the members have kept relocating all over the world (e. g. Bolivia, Brazil, Italy, the Netherlands, South Africa, Switzerland, and more) due to various reasons. Nevertheless, in late 2002 the Hollow You EP was released, and during 2001-2003 the band threw off a couple of live shows with the aid of various additional live musicians. Lately, Deonda Ltd have released a couple of individual songs over the internet.
