The Swedish metal act KODEEN was born from the remains of a previous existing metal band called Mindtrigger in the end of year 2000.

KODEEN was a natural step for the more creative members of Mindtrigger to take, in order to develop new ideas with other musicians, to get a more melodic and more varied direction of the music, which has become the trademark of KODEEN today. Together with a new recruited drummer and a fresh bass player, the band started to rehearse with the goal to find a raw and unique sound. KODEEN became a unified force when a second singer (Magnus Fast ex. Captor) joined the band in early 2001. Magnus’ vocal strengths and abilities as a songwriter completed their search and moved the band forward, with an eagerness to constantly evolve. The six piece constellation have a wide range of influences, which is reflected in their music as extreme from one end of the spectrum to the other. “We're always trying to do things that makes the music more interesting for us and the listener.”
