About

Swedish Nu Metal band from Borlänge and Avesta, Sweden. Formed in 2000.

In January 2000 four guys from the small town Borlänge/Sweden formed a band called KNOUT, and about four months later they found a singer in Niklas
Franzen from Avesta, and the setting was complete.
Their first demo "69 Stitches" was released in june 2000. It includes three songs. The first demo was recorded only a few days after Niklas had joined, so all vocals was made in a real Hurry. After 69 stitches the guys made a few gigs but held a low profile (laziness!).
But in January 2001 they entered the studio to record demo number two "Cuckoo Phobia". Eight songs was made on that one, and the guys had some time on this demo.

After some local touring they joined a music contest called "garagerocken". The band won easy and the price was ten hours in a studio and 300
pressed cd. Before the recording of "Manwhore" the band decided they needed a new drummer ,so Micke was replaced by Daniel Liljeqvist from Ludvika and in early November 2001 they went to the studio to record "Manwhore".

In January the band had there releaseparty for "Manwhore" on the local club Bolanche. The gig was not one of the best performances they had done, singer
Niklas was way to drunk and the whole gig sounded bad.

After the performance at Bolanche the band decided they needed a new singer. So tired of Niklas they replaced him with Hans from Gävle. They wrote some
new songs with their new singer and went out doing some local gigs again.
Spring 2002 they once again entered the studio this time for the making of the self titled demo "Knout" now the band had some new self-confidence.
Later that year they decided to make a test. The singer Sonny from Falun was added to the group and the song "Airtime" was recorded with two singers. and the band rehearsed and performed for a while with two singers.

After a period if time the band decided it was best with only one singer so Sonny left the band. February 2003 Knout´s new demo is recorded and it
sounds great.

However in late 2006, the band ultimately broke up due to their unpopularity.
