Spelljammer was formed in 2007 by former high school friends Robert Sorling and Niklas Olsson while attending a Fu Manchu concert. Drummer, Mattias Johansson and bassist, Cloffe Caspersson joined soon after. With the line-up complete, the band recorded their debut album, Inches From the Sun, due out in the spring of 2009. Their music, a heavy slab of low-tuned riffs often played at very slow tempos, is most strikingly influenced by classic acts such as Black Sabbath, Acid King, and Sleep, though traces of Soundgarden and Melvins can also be heard.
