History Music / SpawnOfPossession

The band contains examples of the following tropes:

* MohsScaleOfRockAndMetalHardness: A solid 10 throughout, although ''Cabinet'' was a hard 10.

* TechnicalDeathMetal

Unfortunately, their momentum stalled shortly after that, as Rondum left that same year, while Dewerud left the year after. The latter was quickly replaced by Norwegian bass virtuoso Erlend Caspersen of Music/BloodRedThrone fame, but the former was a different story. With the drum throne unoccupied, the band ceased playing live shows. 2008, thankfully, ended this, as Richard Schill finally stepped in; in addition to this, Karlsson left and was replaced by a hotshot young German guitarist by the name of Music/ChristianMuenzner. More writing followed, though Renvaktar left in 2009 and was replaced by [[Music/{{Psycroptic}} Matthew "Chalky" Chalk]]; with the lineup considered complete, they finally released a rough track in 2009 of new material. 2010, however, brought yet another lineup change, as Chalk and Schill both left, with the former being replaced by a returning Rondum and the later being replaced by Henrik Schonstrom. A deal with Relapse was inked sometime after that, and the long-awaited third album, ''Incurso'', was finally released in 2012. After a European tour in 2012 with Obscura, Gorod, and Exivious, the band largely fell off the face of the earth aside from a few interviews. As of 2015, they have confirmed that a new album is in the works, but also stated that it won't be coming out any time soon. A post from Jonas Bryssling in response to a comment on the Summer Slaughter Tour's Facebook page indicated that they weren't done as a touring band, but that various circumstances (namely Rondum becoming a father and heavy work obligations in general) kept them from being able to accept offers, as they had apparently been offered a slot on this year's iteration of the tour and had to decline. Another update followed at the very beginning of 2017, where Bryssling posted a very rough snippet of a demo of a possible album track and stated that while they weren't releasing anything new within the year, the album was creeping along. Alas, it was not to be, as the band wound up folding around the end of July, ending the story of a highly influential and well-loved act on a somewhat sad note.

* FourIsDeath: The fourth album never came to fruition, as they'd eventually split up.

* MohsScaleOfRockAndMetalHardness: A solid 10 throughout.

** Dusty Boisjolie (formerly of Severed Savior) does backing vocals on "Dead & Grotesque", while Robbe Kok of Disavowed does the same on "By a Thousand Deaths Fulfilled".

* NewSoundAlbum: ''Incurso'' placed a greatly increased focus on atmosphere in addition to having far longer songs and a greatly increased focus on bass thanks to Caspersen's presence.

* PromotedFanboy: Christian Muenzner.

* TroubledProduction: ''Incurso'' had this thanks to near-constant lineup changes between 2006 and 2010.

** Muenzner himself tends to be one of these, as is Caspersen by way of his frequent session work.

As of 2015, they have confirmed that a new album is in the works, but also stated that it won't be coming out any time soon. Touring also won't likely happen at all due to multiple members being unable to tour or having such busy schedules that attempting to fit Spawn of Possession in will not work.
