Tomas Lindberg
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tomas Lindberg (born October 16, 1972), from Gothenburg, Sweden, has been active as a musician and composer since the late 1980s. He started as a vocalist in the band Grotesque under the name Goatspell. When Grotesque fell apart he started melodic death metal band At the Gates. At the Gates broke up after the 1995 release of the highly acclaimed Slaughter of the Soul album.
Since then, Lindberg has been involved in many other diverse musical projects within the metal scene. He has fronted Hide, The Crown, Disfear, Skitsystem and the grindcore supergroup Lock Up, in which he performed alongside Napalm Death members Shane Embury (bass) and Jesse Pintado (guitar) and former Dimmu Borgir drummer, Nicholas Barker.
He is earning praise for his Gothenburg-based outfit, The Great Deceiver, far removed from his previous work — a product of the Gothenburg melodic death metal scene mixed with influences from artists such as The Cure and Joy Division.
More recently he has worked with the band Nightrage, but shortly after their latest album Descent into Chaos was released in 2005, Lindberg left the band so that a more full-time vocalist could accompany them on tours.
