Biography

This Ending was created in 2005 but the history goes further back than that. The band existed in a previous incarnation as A Canorous Quintet which was formed in 1991 by Fredrik Andersson, Mårten Hansen and Linus Nirbrant. After some changes the line-up was complete with the addition of Leo Pignon and Jesper Löfgren. The band released an EP As Tears and two full length albums Silence Of The World Beyond and The Only Pure Hate. They performed numerous shows with acts like At The Gates, Dissection, Hypocrisy and Edge Of Sanity to name a few, and got known for being a very aggressive live band. They have received a cult following since the mid nineties especially in Sweden and Germany.

A Canorous Quintet has been inactive since 1998 when the members decided to go different ways. Linus, Jesper and Fredrik continued with Guidance Of Sin. Fredrik however left in 1999 to continue his duties in Amon Amarth. Leo pursued his commitment in Niden Div. 187 and Mårten, apart from singing in October Tide amongst other bands, later joined Sins Of Omission.
