Sweet Mother Of God

Sweet Mother of God was a Norwegian gothic doom metal band formed in 1998 by Dag Østby (vocals) and Frode Petterson (guitar). Ingunn Molstad (female vocals), Lars Ninive (bass) and Pål Mjørlund (drums) were soon recruited to complete the line-up. Lars and Ingunn left the band in 2000, and were replaced by Morten Granheim and Tone Rustestuen respectively. Øysten Johansen joined as second guitarist in early 2001 before the recording of a demo which was released on 31 August 2001. The demo was reissued by Italian label Nocturnal Music in 2002, and Ida Tingstein (violin, backing vocals) joined the band at this time. Since this time, the band has been inactive.
