Dan �Fodde� Fondelius (vocals, guitars) and Tommy �Wilbur� Eriksson (bass) started a band back in the early '80s called Stormwarning. In 1986, Christian �Chritte� Linderson joined the band as the singer. Christer �Renfield� Pettersson (drums) joined them in �88 and changed the name of the band to Count Raven. In 1990, they recorded their debut album, Storm Warning. During the recording of their sophomore album, Destruction of the Void, Christian left the band to join Saint Vitus. Instead of trying out a new singer, Dan went back to singing. The band signed to Hellhound and did High on Infinity in 1994. In 1995, Messiah of Confusion was recorded and finally released in 1996. The band sadly split up in 1998, but have recently reunited to begin work on their fifth album.
