Skurk 666's main man Jörgen Lindhe started in the
hardrock band Flegma together with drummer Martin
Brorsson. When Flegma split up, the two went on to
another band called Redrum. Redrum lasted for a couple
of years and then they also split up. Then Jörgen and
Martin started Skurk 666 with the ambition to be against
the fact that every band has to sing in english.
Lyric-wise they are very socially aware, and they are
also against the European Union. That´s why they decided
to only sing in Swedish.

It wasn't hard to find members to join the band, the band
are based in Malmö, Sweden. This is their first 4-track
demo and it was recorded in WaveEstate Studio during the
summer of 2002. The production and sound idn.t too great,
but it works. It could've been much better if they had
done it in a real studio and with plenty of time to mix
it. As mentioned earlier, they play proper old school
hard rock. Jörgen impresses on vocals, and it´s quite fun
to hear a hard rock band singing in Swedish, but it´s
also a bit sad because it limits the market for them to
have a break all over the world.
There are a lot of things that the band has to work on.
They have to work harder with the arrangments and on the
songs. They should also rehearse more so they can get
tighter as a band. The music is a bit simple and maybe
they have to work a little bit harder on that too. More
tempo changes are prefered here, and some of the members
in the band are not to good at what they do. If you´re
