The Kristet Utseende

The Kristet Utseende - Topic

The Kristet Utseende is a Swedish punk/metal-group with roots in parts around Gnarp between Sundsvall and Hudiksvall. The group themselves have said that their genre is "Narcotic Gay Metal".
The Kristet Utseendes music is inspired by bands such as Misfits, Metallica and Thomas Di Leva. Those influences began to show when they left their demo period and received a recording contract by the Swedish record company Eggtapes & records. On the old demo recordings there was an undistorted pop sound through and through. The lyrics deal with homosexuality, drug liberalism, Christianity and mysticism. The band managed to complete several tours and to release three full-length records and an EP-record before they split up after a final farewell gig on the Hultsfred Festival in 1999.
In 2005 the band reunited and performed on the Hultsfred Festival as well as on Augustibuller, Piteå dansar och ler, Sundsvalls gatufest, Arvika Festival and in Lund.
This time there were no longer gigs in exchange for beer and distilled beverages; instead they had a well thought-out concept which they followed.
