Ablaze My Sorrow was formed in the summer of 1993 by Magnus Carlsson (Guitar) and Martin Quist (Guitar/Vocals). Within a few weeks
Anders Brorsson (Bass) and Fredrik Wenzel (Drums) joined the band. To complete the line-up.
In the fall of 1993 they released their debut demo "For Bravement We Cried". After the release of this demo, Fredrik Wenzel left the band.
Shortly after Alex Bengtsson joined the band.
A couple of month passed by before they finally entered the Hφφk Studios to record the promo track "The Song Of The Dancing Sins". With
his track the band showed where they were heading. Into a more aggressive yet melodic form of Death Metal.
In the end of 1994 No Fashion made their first contact with tha band, but nothing happened. So in January 1995 the band decided to once
again enter the Hφφk Studio to record their second demo tape. This demo, which includes three tracks was simply entitled demo`95. These
three tracks did also appear on their debut full length album "If Emotion Still Burns". After this demo Martin Quist decided to concentrate on
his vocal duty only. And a new guitar player named Roger Johansson took over. At the same time the band signed for No Fashion Records.
During the summer of 1995 they entered Musik Maffian Studios in Varberg and recorded their debut full length album "If Emotion Still
Burns". It contains eight tracks of aggressive, melodic and intense death metal. The front cover of "If Emotion Still Burns" was painted by
Kristian Wεhlin. After the release of "If Emotion Still Burns", Roger Johansson left the band and where replaced by Dennie Linden. He found
his place in the band directly.
During 1997 Ablaze My Sorrow went back to their rehearsal place to complete material for a new full length album. Shortly before the
recording session of "The Plague, the bands second full length album, Martin Quist left the band and was replaced by Fredrik Arnesson. He
was the perfect replacer.
With this new line-up they recorded during August and September`97 "The plague" in Studiomega. The Plague includes eight tracks; The
Truth Is Sold, Into The Land Of Dreams, Mournful Serenade, The Return Of The Mighty Raven, I Will Be Your God, Plague Of Mine, As the
