About

The history of Ödemarken started in a five-piece folk group, playing traditional Swedish folk tunes.
In late 2013 Bart and Thomas A. started to write their own songs but felt that the format and instrumentation of the five-pice didn't fit their newly written songs.

The band dissolved into a trio with drummer Thomas K. and the band Ödemarken was born.
Ödemarken started to rehearse in early 2014 and recorded the debut album in the summer same year.
In the summer of 2015 Ödemarken went on a polish tour, testning and tweaking new material before the next studio recording. In January 2016 the new album "Ödemarken 3.0" was out. Shortly after the release drummer Thomas K. decided to leave the band.

Ödemarken started out looking for a new drummer and remembered a guy they met on their live performance in Malmö almost a year before, David Berndtsson. That night David offered his services if the band ever needed additional percussion.
In May 2017 Ödemarken contacted David who had just come home from a long trip in Indonesia and was looking for a band to play with. David joined Ödemarken shortly thereafter.
