Vindictiv biography
VINDICTIV is a Swedish progressive metal band that was formed in 2004 by Stefan LINDHOLM and keyboardist Pontus LARSON. Other band members include singer Goran EDMAN, bassist Nalle PAHLSSON, and drummer Mikael WIKMAN. Other band members that used to be in VINDICTIV, but left after their first demo, were guitarist Johan LARSSON, and singer Tommy KAREVIK.

They released a demo in 2005 that was featured in Sweden Rock Magazine and got many positive reviews. VINDICTIV came out with their first album, Vindictiv in 2008. This album had a very good diversity of songs and GORAN had some very good vocals on it. On the album they used guitar that sounded similar to that of Yngwie MALMSTEEN (who their lead vocalist has contributed with). Their second album, Ground Zero, was released in 2009 and has very well crafted compositions. In their latest album they have excellent keyboard and guitar solos. Overall this album is an excellent progressive heavy metal album.
