The Stockholm band adopted the GREAT KING RAT handle in 1991 after a period as SIN CITY. In an earlier incarnation the band were known as [a=ODESSA (10)]. The band's original line-up included ex-RACEWAY vocalist Conny Lind alongside guitarist PONTUS NORGREN, ex-TRYCKVÅG and BANG BANG members Mikael Höglund on bass and Tomas Broman on drums. The band brought in ex-CIRCUS bassist Leif Sundin. The ousted Lind would later re-emerge as part of STATE OF MIND, TALK OF THE TOWN and later AMAZE ME.
