Swedish doom metal band Kaptain Sun formed in 1998, but had its origins in an earlier, more death metal-leaning outfit named Clandestine (Entombed fans take note) which vocalist/guitarist Anders Håkansson (aka Andy Wong), guitarist Martin Lindholm, bassist Rickard Gustafsson, and drummer Marcus Hamrin first put together in 1993.
