Daniel Liljekvist had contacted Alex Stjernfeldt and decided that they should start a death metal band. Alex contacted Stefan Lagergren. Two other members were added to the lineup, and some plans were made, but nothing ever came out of it.
After several years, when Covid really started to affect tour schedules and everything else, a text message arrived: "Let's do this!". Daniel, Alex and Stefan were joined by Alex' neighbour Mikael Stanne.
Alex pitched the name Grand Cadaver, and the rest immediately concurred. We were informed that Majestic Mountain Records were already interested. Albin Sköld got involved with artwork for any upcoming release.
Christian Jansson, Gothenburg thrash legend from Pagandom – as well as Alex' and Mikael's colleague in the Novarupta live lineup – joins as bass player.
