Formed in Luleå, Sweden fall 2011, OFFENSIVE GROUND is a back to the roots, kick down your door kind of metal music. In February 2017 the band entered the studio to record what will be their Debut Album 'Nightmare King' (with plans for late 2017 release). OFFENSIVE GROUND is a band that pulls from many inspirations and many cultures while still retaining that in your face rock'n'roll groove. Their intensity is also carried on through out their live shows with energetic running, jumping, and all around maniac thrashing madness. They seamlessly pull of their brutal riffing and epic harmonies all while keeping you engaged as they instruct you to 'tear down the walls till your hands break'. The new album confirms that OFFENSIVE GROUND have evolved into a monster that won't be stopping in the forseeable future, and as they say 'Welcome to our Nightmare'.
