Asteroid is a Swedish stoner‑ and fuzz‑rock band from Örebro, formed in late 2003. The group became known for a sound that blends heavy stoner riffs with blues‑inflected grooves and psychedelic atmospheres. Although active only intermittently, the band developed a strong following within the European underground rock scene. Asteroid was founded by Johannes Nilsson (vocals, bass), Robin Hirse (vocals, guitar) and Martin Ström (drums). This original trio quickly recorded a demo in 2004, followed by a self‑titled EP in 2005, and began touring extensively across Europe. In 2006, the band released a split album with fellow Swedish stoner‑rock group Blowback, further establishing their presence in the Scandinavian heavy‑rock community. Their first full‑length album, Asteroid (2007), showcased their characteristic mixture of fuzz‑driven riffs, blues phrasing and psychedelic textures. Shortly after the release of their debut album, drummer Martin Ström left the band and was replaced by Elvis Campbell. Campbell made his first recorded appearance on the band’s second album, II (2009). The album was engineered by Elvis’s brother, Oscar Campbell, at a rural studio known informally as The Organ Donor Transplant Plant / The Planet of the Black Keys, during the winter of 2008–2009. Campbell departed in 2012, with Henrik Jansson taking over on drums. Jansson first appeared on the limited‑edition 7‑inch vinyl single “Move a Mountain.” He left the band soon afterward, and Campbell returned to handle drumming duties for touring.
