Allegiance

Allegiance was formed back in 1989 by Bogge (aka B.War, ex-Marduk/Devils Whorehouse/Elizium) and Fredrik Andersson (ex-Marduk). Dick Georgson and Mikael Almgren (The Sideburns) decided to join the Allegiance ranks. Devo Andersson (Marduk) later joined as vocalist. When Dick left Allegiance, Devo took over the guitar duties. Martin Gustafson (Darkfied) later joined as Allegiance's vocalist. Devo was asked to join Marduk at the same time he was playing in Allegiance, along with two other bands, and was unable to continue with the band. Par Thornell was asked to join and became Allegiance's prominent guitarist. Martin was asked to leave the band and Bogge to over vocals and guitar. Par, Bogge, and Mikael rotated musical duties and evolved as one of Sweden's best Viking / black metal bands.



Allegiance released three full length albums with No Fashion Records. The band was only able to play several shows in Sweden, due to Bogge's and Fredrik's commitment to Marduk. Allegiance was forced to be put on hold for this same reason. Now the saga continues.Ulf Dalegren (ex-Vomitory) has joined the ranks. Currently, the band is working on new material and getting ready to unleash their Viking strength once again.
