Wildness was originally intended to be a studio project by drummer and songwriter Erik Modin, but together with guitarists Adam Holmström & Pontus Sköld plus singer Gabriel Lindmark, the project developed into a real band in 2014. The first year, Wildness performed live with various session musicians playing bass before bass player Marcus Sjösund joined in 2016 and the Wildness line-up was complete. The Swedish band started rehearsing and performing live diligently and in September 2015 and January 2016 the digital and self-produced singles "Collide" and "Turning The Pages" were released. After the second single, the band got in contact with record company AOR Heaven and was offered a record deal by Georg Siegl. The band recorded its debut album in 2016 and 2017 with the help of mastermind Erik Wigelius, who handled the production, mixing and mastering of the album. The eponymous debut album was released on November 24, 2017 and immediately became a great international success among fans of melodic rock. In 2018, the band performed at numerous festivals internationally and shared stages with well-known acts such as Dokken, H.e.a.t, Dee Snider, Crashdïet, DragonForce, Arch Enemy, Warrant, Vixen and others and also had the honour to open for Pretty Maids, among others. In 2019 the band joined forces with Scream & Shout Music Agency for management & booking and began working on the sequel to their acclaimed debut album. However, the process came to a halt when singer Gabriel Lindmark left Wildness in the autumn of 2019 due to musical disagreements. After continuing to work on the second album during the rest of 2019, Wildness was finally able to announce Erik Forsberg (ex-Blazon Stone) as their new frontman in the spring of 2020.
The second album, "Ultimate Demise", is produced entirely by drummer Erik Modin, while mixing and mastering is handled again by Erik Wigelius.
