Formed in the summer 1993, by Nightmare and Whiplasher, during a wild metal party i Gothenburg, Sweden. The two madbrains decided to call the band Swordmaster.
Having big troubles with the line-up, the band - after only one rehearsal - recorded a couple of tracks just for fun. Even though the songs weren't supposed to come out to any labels, they did. Several record labels got their hands on the tape and wanted to sign Swordmaster.
The band finally became complete with Inferno on drumsand the infamous Thunderbolt on bass. Swordmaster then signed to Fullmoon Productions (Florida,USA) and recorded they well-known MCD "Wraths of Time", in spring '95, which has been completely sold out, again and again.
The line-up was changed when Inferno left Swordmaster to join Dissection (Swe). For a short time Swordmaster rehearsed with Ole Öhman (Ex. Dissection) on drums, but things didn't work out, not until the bringer of chaotic battery, Nicky Terror (Sacramentum, Deathwitch) joined the crew.
In February 1996 the band recorded two tracks for compilation albums, the tracks were "Claws of Death" and "Metallic Devastation", which were produced and engineered by Andy La Rocque of King Diamond. These tracks led the band to sign for Osmose Productions, France.
In December 1996 the band recorded their first jawbreaking full-length album"Postmortem Tales" in Los Angered Recording, Gothenburg, produced and engineered by Andy La Rocque.
In April 1997 the band went into the studio to record a MCD - "Death Rider 2000". It will be released in May 1998. The vinyl version contains two more bonus tracks!!!!! And it's strictly limited, so...GET IT!! (on)
Summer 1997 the band appeared on the "With a dragons blaze festival open air" in Belgium.
In December Swordmaster went on "The World Domination Tour part II" together with Dark Tranquillity, Enslaved, Bewitched, Dellamorte and Demoniac.

Lyrics
Death Rider 2000
No sleep at the mountains of madness
-You will face the face of a fucked up race
Called the psycho explorers by those of mortal grace
Now scream: Ride the roads of the Rider 2000 and you'll burn!
Yeah, I'll promise you burn at this high level of fire, so scream yet higher:
Death Rider 2000
Jet black engine and blood octane
Death Rider 2000
Spitting fire in a murderous flame
Burning in the skies
Dying, yeah, you'll die as you rise
Take a visit to the horrordome
Yeah, welcome to the death rider's home
Dying in the night
Burning, yeah, you'll burn as you rise
Take a visit to the horrordome
Yeah, welcome to the death rider's home!
A frequent vision of the freaks new mission
- Pure soul exile
Have you ever tried to fire bullets from the barrel of a dream?
Have you ever been cut up in a dirty scene
Yeah, well you'll see, now see:
This hideous tourbillion that moves with me
Your soul is your fee, what did you think - that this ride was for free?
Now commence your reign!
Cause you're now a psychonaut so scream out in vain:
Death Rider 2000
Jet black engine and blood octane
Death Rider 2000
Spitting fire in a murderous flame
And what do you see? What do you see?
As this hideous tourbillion moves with me?
"I see my name blow across this land"
- Yeah, that's right, and you'll see it again and again
O'yeah, goddamn!
Death Rider 2000
Jet black engine and blood octane
Death Rider 2000
Spitting fire in amurderous flame
Firefall of the Fireball
Hey, well I got a time to kill and spines to chill
As you face that grave you must fill
No salvation can stand my frustration
- Burning tough in a fiend aggression
You say: "Is it your hate, you know it ain't to late"
- But then again, I guess you can't change your "fate"
It's sold, lost and foretold
So die my friend...
Yeah, burn, baby, burn!
We're the aces - reflecting death in dying faces
Raising Cain, yeah, you know you're raicing Cain
Heaven turns, explodes and burns
So come' on it's Firefall!
Razors' race
Velocity of death and bloodstained wrath
Razors' race
Ever felt like a brick in a game?
Ever felt that everything turns out the same?
Ever felt that a bullet would take you through it?
That a fire would fit...so lit it!
Ever seen your powers weakening to end, and not give a damn?
Well, sometimes you just have to play with a bad hand
So turn to dust
- You're dust in this soulless land
And soon came the days
When the race unveiled its ways
So cold in its naked face
And eternity completed its grace
Closed was the gate
And sealed were your fate
Where the secret of death died
And the soulless ride became justified!
We're the aces - reflecting death in dying faces
Raising Cain, yeah, you know you're racing Cain
Heaven turns, explodes and burns
So come' on it's Firefall!
And as the blood begins to leave you heaven turns, explodes and burns
- Yeah, you are just a player on the field
And as death rises for you
No dream will ever save these souls from a cruel end
- No way, so die again my frind...
Come on!
Razors' race
Velocity of death and bloodstained wrath
Razors' race!
Necronaut Psychout
Necronaut Psychout
Hundred minds out on a soulcrushing tour
Mind transmission
It's the aces new mission
So tough in its kind
Yeah, you scream, now scream
Chemical astrodream of the team supreme
Away into ways in entombed waves
Why? - You'll see this death die
Come' on!
Necronaut Psychout
The Masters they are screaming out
Necronaut Psychout!
(Freak out)
Fantastic wipeout
The killers are shouting out - "Come to the dome"
And you burn as a coppar soul of the midnight fireball
You say: "Hey, no need to play, the Masters gonna make you pay"
And it's your decision and you'll better face this vision
Called "The Necronauts' Blood Transmission"
Now listen:
Necronaut Psychout
The Masters they are screaming out
Necronaut Psychout
(Freak out)
Then you meet this Necronauts, saying:
"Yeah, death becomes you!"
And your heart is lithium, blood is blue
"Who's to score, churn venom to their core?"
And you stand as a monolithic man
Cursed in a monolithic land
O'yeah and you're among the damned!
Necronaut Psychout
The Masters they are screaming out
Necronaut Psychout

Cranium forged in fire
Metallic bone construction
Blazing razor teeths
