Counterblast started early -93. hoccy and steve,
earlier members of the speedcore grinders g-anx, got
together with janne meijner, later more known for his
terrorshow projekt, and started to develope some more slower and heavy tunes compared to our earlier bands.
pretty soon thereafter andreas joined in on bass.
after another six months the band was complete adding
the sanctum/mago member palle, on keyboard and
sampling, as well as martin on vocals. a first demo was
recorded in november and was spread with absolutely no
response at all. in spring -94 janne decided to quit and
while searching for another guitarist we was dead until
october, when we decided to continue with one guitar and
did a sweden tour together with extinction of mankind and
warcollapse.
Coming back from that experience, we went into the
studio and rerecorded four songs from our demo of
which two was released on the "prospects" 7", out on
skuld releases. the other songs ended up on compilations.
 january -96 we recorded our debut album "balance of pain",
that was released as a tripple split project between skuld
releases, elderberry rec´s and profane existance. available
on lp, cd and cassette. two more songs was recorded at the
same time and appear on two compilations.
In spring -97 we did a two weeks european tour together
with scatha from scotland. martin then decided he wanted
to quit the band and in october -97 he did his last three gigs
on a minitrip to germany. after that things has been going
pretty slow. martin was replaced by a bearded man named
jocke. september -99 we toured the u.s. west coast for two
weeks. since then, until summer -02 we've finally finished
the work with the new album. are we slow or.......
As you can see this info is abit out of date, but since it´s
the only one I can find it´ll do it for now . Hopefully I´ll get a new one from Steve /Masken
