Smash Into Pieces on Tour

Swedish rock band Smash Into Pieces are adept at blending hard rock, EDM and emo punk. They're also known for their explosive live performances and sci-fi aesthetic, including a drummer who wears a robotic mask and goes by the name "Apocalypse DJ." Smash Into Pieces released their debut album Unbreakable in 2013 and quickly gained attention for their bombastic sound.

Comprising vocalist Chris Adam Hedman Sörbye, guitarists Benjamin Jennebo and Per Bergquist, bassist Viktor Vidlund, and drummer Isak Snow, Smash Into Pieces were 2023 finalists in the renowned Swedish music competition Melodifestivalen, which determines Sweden's representative in the Eurovision Song Contest. They performed their anthemic single "Six Feet Under," which vocalist Hedman Sörbye has said is about experiencing depression and feelings of inadequacy. The song ultimately conveys a message of hope, reminding the listener that things will get better.

In April 2013, the band signed a record deal with Scandinavian rock and metal label Gain Music Entertainment/Sony Music to release their debut album, Unbreakable. They've since toured throughout the world, amassing a loyal fanbase across their native Sweden, as well as in the U.K., U.S. and beyond.

Smash Into Pieces Live in Concert

Smash Into Pieces formed in Örebro, Sweden in 2008 when guitarist Benjamin Jennebo and drummer Isak Snow began jamming together. Vocalist Chris Adam Hedman Sörbye, bassist Viktor Vidlund and guitarist Per Bergquist joined the group soon after, and the band played their first gigs in local pubs.

The rising act quickly gained national recognition and reached the semifinals of "Talang," the Swedish version of the "Got Talent" TV series, in 2009, but reportedly dropped out to sign a record deal with Ninetone Records. The deal disintegrated after the release of only one single, "Fading," but the group found a new label home with Gain Music Entertainment, under Sony Music, in 2013.

Smash Into Pieces have since reinvigorated their sound, incorporating keyboard and electronic elements into their hardcore melodic rock and appealing to an even wider audience. The bandmembers are also open about mental health issues; vocalist Hedman Sörbye notes that their 2023 single, "Six Feet Under," chronicles his battle with depression.
