(Even earlier than that, back in 1985-1986, Fredrik also was a member of CRANIUM, who later changed their name to LEGION). Hailing from Linköping, Sweden and therefore being close friends with death metal cult band SEANCE, it was not long before Patrik Jensen (today in The Haunted and Witchery) recommended a new guitarist to Fredrik: Andreas Fullmestad (formerly in MORGUE). Fredrik and Andreas got together and the unit was completed by drummer Karsten Larsson and bassist Dennis Karlsson (both ex-MORTIFIED members). The final addition to this early Dawn line-up was Henke Forss (FUNERAL FEAST, IN FLAMES), providing the band with death growls from hell.
