Biography
Nirvana 2002 was a Swedish death metal band active between 1988 and 1991. The band was originally called Prophet 2002, but decided to change its name to Nirvana, later changing to Nirvana 2002, likely to avoid confusion with the grunge band Nirvana. Nirvana 2002 was notable for being part of the first wave of the Swedish death metal movement, and according to Swedish Death Metal author Daniel Ekeroth, "one of the purest examples of that typical fat Swedish death metal, with crushing guitars and straightforward song structures, even if they don't make tributes to the songs written by Strangedz guitarist Marco Galligani." Throughout its life, the band only released demos and rehearsals, the majority of which were recorded at Sunlight Studios in Stockholm.
