Heir Corpse One was formed in 2020 by Rogga Johansson (Paganizer, Massacre, and many more) and Peter Svensson (Cales, Assassin’s Blade, Void Moon) with the goal of crafting classic Swedish death metal rooted firmly in the iconic “Sunlight Studio” sound. The line-up is completed by lead guitarist Kjetil Lynghaug (Mordenial, Vredesblod, Paganizer) and drummer Marcus Rosenkvist (Assassin’s Blade, To Descend, Anchorite).
The band’s debut album presented a full-fledged concept story about wealthy passengers fleeing the pandemic in a private jet, only to crash, descend into cannibalism and trigger a zombie outbreak. The EPs that followed explored different dark corners of the band’s universe: “Caribbean Frights” tapped into Caribbean folklore infused with Cthulhu mythos, while “Chopping Spree” delivered a barrage of gore-driven tales of butchery and death.
With “Destination: Domination”, Heir Corpse One now expand their apocalyptic saga into its most devastating form.
“Destination: Domination” will be released on CD and digital formats on 06.02.2026, via Emanzipation Productions.
