The band started playing in 2004, and the members were Johan Lindblom, Love Hempel, Joakim Bergquist, Jakob Sandgren and Simon Bohm. Soon, Jesper Sandberg became a part of the crew. *Intohimo* is [Finnish](/source/Finnish_language) for passion. In their first year, Intohimo released two demos: "In the deepest of mind" and "PastPresentAndNeverAgain". In 2006, they won "Best Unsingned Act Award" at the Swedish National Indie Awards 2006.[1] The next step for the band was signing with [Pretty Dirty Promotions](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pretty_Dirty_Promotions&action=edit&redlink=1) and releasing their first full-length album, *Failures, Failures, Failures & Hope*, in 2007. In the summer of 2007, Love Hempel left the band. The coming year, Intohimo toured in Sweden and Europe. In fall 2008, Intohimo was signed by [The Unit Music Company](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Unit_Music_Company&action=edit&redlink=1) and started working on a new album together with Simon Grenhed of [Blindside](/source/Blindside_(band)). In spring 2009, Intohimo pre-released their new album when they were supporting [Underoath](/source/Underoath) in [Gothenburg](/source/Gothenburg). *Us; The Hollows* reached 15th place on the Swedish billboard chart.[2] As the year went on, Jesper Sandberg decided to leave the band and was replaced by Albin Blomqvist. With a new guitar player, Intohimo made several shows and appeared on [Flevo Festival](/source/Flevo_Festival) in the Netherlands. In fall 2009, drummer Simon Bohm also left the band[3] and Joakim Möller became the new drummer. 2010 was a busy year for the unsigned band, and they played at [Siesta Festival](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Siesta_Festival&action=edit&redlink=1), [Peacedog Festival](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Peacedog_Festival&action=edit&redlink=1),[4] [Dreamhack](/source/Dreamhack) and [Rock without limits](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Rock_without_limits&action=edit&redlink=1). When the summer ended, Intohimo started working on new material that would sound less mainstream.[4] In March 2011, Intohimo made their first appearance in America, putting up a showcase at [SXSW](/source/SXSW), [Austin, Texas](/source/Austin%2C_Texas). In September 2011, Intohimo and [Write This Down](/source/Write_This_Down_(band)) supported [Blindside](/source/Blindside_(band)) on their With Shivering Hearts we Wait tour in USA. The three bands appeared in 17 different cities and toured together for a month.[5] Early in 2012, original member Jakob Sandgren decided to leave the band and was replaced by Christoffer "Poffe" Aronson. In May, Intohimo went on tour along with [For the Fallen Dreams](/source/For_the_Fallen_Dreams) and visited Gothenburg, Prague and Wolfsburg among others. In May 2012 the band signed to [Snapping Fingers Snapping Necks](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Snapping_Fingers_Snapping_Necks&action=edit&redlink=1) for the release of the four-track EP *Winter Sun* (where the sound was more influenced by [post rock](/source/Post_rock)), and their fourth full-length album *Northern Lights* that was released October 12, 2012. The fourth of June 2013, Intohimo announced on their Facebook page that the band was to dissolve, playing one last show at the Frizon-festival in Örebro, Sweden on August 8, 2013. In 2025 the band reunited. ## Discography - 2004 – In the deepest of mind (demo) - 2005 – PastPresentAndNeverAgain (demo) - 2007 – Failures, Failures, Failures & Hope ([Pretty Dirty Promotions](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pretty_Dirty_Promotions&action=edit&redlink=1)) - 2009 – Us; The Hollows ([The Unit Music Company](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Unit_Music_Company&action=edit&redlink=1)) - 2012 – Winter Sun (EP) ([Snapping Fingers Snapping Necks](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Snapping_Fingers_Snapping_Necks&action=edit&redlink=1)) - 2012 – Northern Lights ([Snapping Fingers Snapping Necks](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Snapping_Fingers_Snapping_Necks&action=edit&redlink=1)) ## Band members - Joakim Bergquist – guitar - Albin Blomqvist – guitar, backing vocals - Simon Bohm – drums - Jakob Sandgren – bass - Johan Lindblom – lead vocals ## Former band members - Love Hempel – co-lead vocals (2004–2007) - Jesper Sandberg – guitar (2004–2009) - Joakim Möller – lead vocals (2013), drums (2010–2013) ## References 1. **[^](#cite_ref-1)** ["Intohimo – The journey to success"](http://sirdarkus.wordpress.com/reviews/intohimo-the-journey-to-success/). *Intohimo – The journey to success*. 1. **[^](#cite_ref-2)** ["This week's top 20 Swedish album chart"](http://www.itsatrap.com/n/30392). *This week's top 20 Swedish album chart*. 1. **[^](#cite_ref-3)** ["Intohimo interview"](http://www.myspace.com/sirdsst/blog/532260428). *Intohimo interview*. 1. ^ [***a***](#cite_ref-interview_4-0) [***b***](#cite_ref-interview_4-1) ["Interview: Intohimo"](http://legendsarising.com/2010/07/11/interview-intohimo/). *Interview: Intohimo*. 1. **[^](#cite_ref-5)** ["Blindside USA Tour 2011"](https://www.facebook.com/notes/blindside-sweden/blindside-usa-tour-2011/10150666980105217). *Blindside USA Tour 2011*. ## External links - [Intohimo on Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/intohimo) Authority control databases: Artists MusicBrainz --- Adapted from the Wikipedia article [Intohimo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intohimo) by Wikipedia contributors ([contributor history](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intohimo?action=history)).
