All Ends

With the initial line-up of Jesper Strömblad and Björn Gelotte handling bass and guitars, Joseph "Joey" Skansås playing drums as well as Emma Gelotte and Tinna Karlsdotter on vocal duties, they recorded a five-track demo. The demo was recorded at Studio Fredman and produced by Fredrik Nordström and Patrick J. Sten. After the initial demo recording, numerous bassists supported the band, including Michael Håkansson. In the spring of 2005, Fredrik Johansson (ex-Dimension Zero and guest lead guitarist on "December Flower" from the album The Jester Race by In Flames) took over guitar duties. There is a common misunderstanding with Fredrik based on a shared name with ex-rhythm guitarist of Dark Tranquillity, Fredrik Johansson, usually having either men incorrectly being credited to each of their own bands. In August 2005, Peter Mårdklint joined the band as the second guitarist. All Ends signed a worldwide contract with GUN Records, a division of Sony BMG Music Entertainment.
