Dodge is a Swedish alternative metal outfit that evolved from the ashes of the 1990s hardcore band Inhale. Formed in 1998, the original iteration struggled with label delays before rebranding as Dodge in 2004 to pursue a more accessible, English-language nu-metal sound.
A pivotal moment in their history was the addition of vocalist Roland Johansson, formerly of Sonic Syndicate, whose melodic range and established fan base brought a new level of visibility to the project. Their sound identity is characterized by the 'Gothenburg' influence on traditional nu-metal structures, resulting in a mix of syncopated grooves and melodic death metal vocal sensibilities. Critically, they are viewed as a bridge between the raw energy of the late-90s Swedish underground and the more commercial melodic metal sound that dominated the mid-2000s. Their catalog, particularly the remastered 'To The End,' represents a preservation of the nu-metal aesthetic filtered through Scandinavian production standards.
