Morbus Chron was formed by teenagers Robert Andersson (vocals/guitar), Edvin Aftonfalk (guitar) and Stefan Johansson (drums) in Stockholm 2007. Soon joined by Adam Lindmark (bass), their young minds were set on recreating the atmosphere of death metal pioneers such as Autopsy, Death Strike and Death - something they accomplished already on the impressive 2009 demo recording "Splendour of Disease", which was reeking of dirty patterns of bygone days. After this, Stefan exited the band and Adam took over the drums while Dag Landin (bass) joined the ranks to complete the line-up.
During 2010, Morbus Chron really started to develop their style, and they were also causing a stir within the metal underground with their unrelenting, yet catchy, music. The wonderfully sludgy EP "Creepy Creeping Creeps" led to a contract with Pulverised Records, and what was to become their debut album was recorded in November with Nicke Andersson (Death Breath, ex- Entombed) as producer. When the resulting "Sleepers in the Rift" was finally released in August 2011, it was rightfully praised as a masterpiece of pure death metal of a kind the world hadn't heard in years. With its groovy drum patterns, guttural screams and gritty song structures the album was even giving Autopsy's comeback album a run for the money.
