Band

It all started in 1981 in Gävle, Sweden, with the original line-up consisting of Stefan Eriksson (g), Kari Toppinen (g), Patrik Englin (d), Kent Fernlund (b) and Peter Sjöstedt (v).

The line-up was consistent to the end of 1984, when some of the original members kept on with some line changes throughout the years until around 1990. Two of the members during that period was Anders Appelquist (v) and Håkan Åstrand (d).

In 2023, after the tragic death of original bassist Kent Fernlund and a time of mourning, the idea of celebrating Kent's memory in some way emerged. This led to the idea of recording an EP in his memory. This EP would contain new songs based on song ideas or riffs that was created in the 80's but never made it.

The current line-up of Genocide consists of:

• Kari Toppinen (g)
• Stefan Eriksson (b)
• Peter Sjöstedt (v)
• Håkan Åstrand (d)
• Anders Appelquist (g)(v)
