Additional notes
Gardenian was formed in April 1996 by drummer Thim Blom and vocalist/guitarist Jim Kjell.
In 2000, shortly after the release of their 3rd album "Sindustries", Gardenian felt disappointed with the way Nuclear Blast Records was treating them, so they broke off their contract. In 2003, Gardenian underwent major line-up changes and in 2004, the band eventually disbanded.
There exists one recording with this line-up, Remembered. This song was originally released as a preview on Gardenian's website promoting their forthcoming album with Apollo Papathanasio. It was never released, however, the full version can be found on Apollo's website. The song was later redone with Firewind for the album The Premonition, though only the chorus remains the same.
Gardenian reunited in 2012 in preparation for playing the Gothenburg Sound Festival in 2013, then decided they wanted to remain inactive.
