Lifelover was a Swedish metal band, formed in 2005 by Jonas Bergqvist and Kim Carlsson. The band split-up in September 2011 after the death of Bergqvist, granted he was the lead composer and one of Lifelover's founding members. The band, while widely considered being metal, combined several genres into their sound, citing black metal, post-punk, dark ambient and progressive rock. With Lifelover's depressive lyrics, musicianship and atmosphere, the band are credited for being one of the biggest influences on the black metal subgenre depressive black metal (also known as DSBM).
