Sweden is seldom at a loss for extreme metal acts, with the latest group to join the fray being aptly named Coldworker. Members of Phobos, Nasum, Relentless, and Ruin joined forces to create the death/grindcore brutality presented on 2007's THE CONTAMINATED VOID. Shortly before the album's U.S. release, the twisted branches of Sweden's death metal tree became even more gnarled when Daniel Schroder (also of Ruin) replaced Andre Alvizini, who left the band to join fellow Swedish deathers Carnal Grief.
