Oxidize
Oxidize is a metalband from Sweden. We grew up with metal, some of us released albums during the 90:ies all ready, some of us little later in life with other bands before Oxidize.
Our style that define us is melodic metal. Some of the songs can be harder and some softer, the combinations of the material written is a nice mix of songs that not following a red thread straight through. Every song have it's own story to be told, and so do we work. We mix and master our song our selves. Better control over the sound.

People ask where we get our influences, it's a life time of inspiration, and sometimes you listen to harder music and sometimes softer, and not from any special category of music. If you should pic a few bands that inspire us we could say. Inflames, Evergrey, Alter bridge, Iron Maiden, Judas priest, Within temptation, Nightwish, Korn, Dream Evil, etc. but we don't sound like them.
Inspiration in not the same thing as our sound, we think Oxidize got our own ID.
