I began a Death Metal band called Molested and that was really cool times. It was kind of being an apprentice, learning to play guitar, and we rehearsed and all that for four years, I think every second day. Really intense period.

MOLESTED released their second demo, Unborn Woods in Doom, on this day in 1993.
Founder, vocalist and guitarist Øystein Garnes Brun would within a year form BORKNAGAR. The last MOLESTED recordings took place in 1995 for the Stormvold EP, BORKNAGAR recorded their debut album a few months later.
I'm still proud of the stuff we did back then. It had something very unique about it. It's very passionate, in a way, and I kind of planned my own youth, in a way, and it kind of gives me a lot of nice associations...
