Gluttony | Swedish Death Metal

Biography

The beginning: 2009 - 2013
Gluttony was founded in Sundsvall 2009 by Anders Härén as a side-project to My Own Grave. Anders wrote a few songs and when it was time to record a demo, he recruited My Own Grave colleagues Max Normelli (bass) and John Henriksson (drums), and Johan Jansson (Interment, ex-Regurgitate, ex-Demonical) on vocals. The result was the Coffinborn demo (2012). It was recorded in Studio Blastbeat in Sundsvall, Sweden and mixed and mastered by John Henriksson. Anders Härén did the artwork. It was self-released on CD in 100 copies. The band played one show in this line-up at Club Deströyer (Sundsvall) on April 26 of 2013 as support act to Naglfar. The Coffinborn demo caught the attention of Vic Records, and the band was signed to the label in 2013. Just before that, Gluttony released the Eaten Alive 7" on Metal Fortress with artwork by Andreas Lindman. Since Johan lived several hours away, it was mutually agreed that he leave the band and Magnus "Hatpastorn" Ödling, was recruited as the new singer.

Vic Records: 2014 - 2021
Gluttony's debut album Beyond The Veil of Flesh was recorded in Studio Blastbeat in Sundsvall, Sweden and mixed and mastered by Dan Swanö at Studio Unisound. The artwork was created by Jeffrey Zornow, famous for his comics art and artwork for The Misfits. The album was released on May 26th 2014 on CD by Vic Records and the release fest took place at Pipeline, Sundsvall, May 11th of 2014. The next Gluttony show was as opening act for At The Gates and Tribulation at Pipeline, Sundsvall on May 2nd 2015. Soon after, Ancestral Terror Records released the Coffinborn cassette in 100 copies. In 2016 Gluttony recorded two new songs "Glory of the Rope" and "Dead, Rotten and Forgotten" for the split with Sordid Flesh, which was released in October 2016 on Vic Records. Then in March 2017, Gluttony played their biggest show so far on the House of Metal festival in Umeå, Sweden, with bands like Anthrax, Dark Tranquillity, Grave and Asphyx. On the 25th of May 2018, Gluttony released their second album Cult of the Unborn on Vic Records. The album was recorded in Studio Blastbeat in Sundsvall, Sweden and mixed and mastered by Daniel Mikaelsson in Studio Domsaga (Daniel also produced the songs for the Sordid Flesh split). The album is a horror tale written by Anders Härén and Magnus Ödling and the artwork was created by the talented tattoo artist Mark Riddick.

Gravework & Bestial Invasion: 2022 - 2024
In the spring of 2021, Gluttony were meant to tour Sweden with MOB-47 and Dråp but someone in Wuhan ate some bat soup and the world went to hell. So instead, Gluttony started writing songs for their third album. The lyrical theme was decided to be the chaotic cosmos spawned by H.P. Lovecraft. The albums was recorded in Studio Blastbeat in Sundsvall, Sweden and the album was released digitally in the fall of 2022 and on vinyl via Gravework Media in the spring of 2023. In May 2023 it was also released on CD via Bestial Invasion Records. That year Gluttony did their first European tour as headline act with Dråp as support act. They toured for three weeks in July and played in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Czech Republic, the Netherlands and Belgium. The biggest show on the tour was United in Brutality in Czech Republic which was headlined by Master. To celebrate its 10 year anniversary, Beyond the Veil of Flesh was remastered for vinyl by Dan Swanö and released on LP by Gravework Media in March 2024. Gluttony made another European tour as headliner in September 2024, playing in Sweden, Germany, Czech Republic and doing the first ever shows in Poland. The biggest show of the tour was at the Metal!!! Festival in Ostrava (CZ) playing with bands such as Krisiun, Malevolent Creation, Gutalax and Marduk.

F.D.A. Records: 2025 -
The touring gave the band new energy as Gluttony started writing material for their 4th album in the autumn of 2024. The result was 10 original songs plus one cover of King Diamond's song Burn from The Eye. In September 2025, Gluttony signed a deal with the German label F.D.A. Records. The album was baptized Eulogy To Blasphemy and was released digitally, and on CD and LP by F.D.A. Records on March 13th 2026. Eulogy To Blasphemy was very well received both by fans and critics and received a solid average of 8 out of 10 spanning 30+ reviews. In May 2026, Gluttony did their third European headline tour, with Övervåld as support act. The tour consisted of shows in Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Czech Republic, Poland, and the first ever shows in Lithuania and Estonia. The biggest show of the tour was at Nice To Eat You Deathfest in Czech Republic where Gluttony played co-headline with Defleshed and Ingrowing.
