The original lineup consisted of Daniel Sjöberg (vocals, guitar), Johan Sjöberg (guitar), Johan Lindström (bass), and Johan "Jocke" Lindberg (drums). Over the years, the band has experienced lineup changes, with Daniel Sjöberg remaining the sole constant member. Their sound evolved from early, more experimental and noise-infused compositions to a more polished, atmospheric indie rock style in later releases.
Allsmäktig gained attention in Sweden with their debut EP, *Allsmäktig*, released in 2007, followed by their critically acclaimed debut album, *Allsmäktig*, in 2008. The band’s breakthrough came with their second album, *Självporträtt* (2010), which solidified their reputation for intricate songwriting and emotional depth. Subsequent releases, such as *Försvinn* (2013) and *Mänsklighet* (2016), further expanded their fanbase, both in Sweden and internationally.
Musically, Allsmäktig is praised for their dynamic shifts between soft, melodic verses and explosive, chaotic choruses. Their lyrics often explore themes of human fragility, existentialism, and the search for meaning, resonating with listeners who appreciate introspective and thought-provoking music. The band’s live performances are noted for their intensity and technical skill, with Daniel Sjöberg’s vocal delivery and the band’s tight musicianship drawing comparisons to artists like Radiohead and The Cure.
Beyond their music, Allsmäktig has been involved in various creative projects, including collaborations with other Swedish artists and contributions to soundtracks. They have also been recognized with several awards, including multiple Swedish Grammy nominations. Despite their growing popularity, the band maintains a low-profile public presence, focusing primarily on their music and creative process.
