VOLSTER is a Swedish hard rock band started by guitarist Ulf Andersson and bass player Henrik Lundberg who were both members of the band Masquerade in the late 80s and early 90s. While Ulf left Masquerade for other projects, Henrik continued making a couple of albums with Masquerade before they broke up. In 2009 Henrik released an album with the band House of Heavy.
Ulf and Henrik met up again in 1996 to record a four song demo. This demo was called VOLSTER and in 2013 (17 years later) they decided to pick up where they left off and plans were made to start a band performing these songs and also write new ones. They kept the name VOLSTER.

BIOGRAPHY
Volster started out 1996 when some friends got the brilliant idea to record a couple of songs that Ulf had made a couple of years before. We used Henrik's apartment as our studio (perhaps not so appreciated by his neighbors) and the equipment that was available, probably a 4-tracker or something. We ended up with a 4 song demo that didn't get us anywhere.
To be honest we didn't try that hard! This tape was still in the back of our minds during all this years that past and one day in 2013 we thought it was time to pick up where we left off and so we started throwing song ideas at each other and decided that we should start recording some new songs as well as re-record some of the old once as it nowadays is much easier to get a better sounding productions in our home studios than back in -96.
Struggling with finding the right band name we can't seem to get rid of the original name we used for the demo tape. As so many other known bands use some significant landmark from their hometown or area in their names (check out the basis for Soundgarden and Alterbridge for example) we thought not to be less innovative so what landmarks have Skövde to offer? Well, we have Wolster! A legend in Skövde town (famous local drunk). So, that's that!
What kind of music will you expect from Volster than? We were brought up with melodic hard rock and that's what we are going to give you. Good melodies, nice grooves and once in a while some heavier licks with a biting beat. We make music we ourselves want to listen to and hope there are more people out there that still loves this kind of music!
