Nitzer Ebb, the duo started to work in studio Downstairs and after a few months, the first four track demo was presented to Swedish labels and promoters. At the same time Spetsnaz launched its official website www.spetsnaz.se and interest in the band started to grow.

The duo’s first album "Grand design" – assisted by bass consultant Jouni Ollila (ex Pouppée Fabrikk) and mastered by Grammis winner Andreas Tilliander – was released by SubSpace Communications in April 2003, holding twelve tracks of nothing but fresh old-school EBM.

The band’s on-stage presence is as intense and energetic as the music with Pontus moving all over the stage, screaming at the top of his lungs, and Stefan fiercely beating his drum pads.

Spetsnaz’s broad touring and refreshing music opened the eyes of Out Of Line (home to e.g. Blutengel and Hocico).


Swedish electro-berzerkers Spetsnaz were formed by Pontus StĂĄlberg and Stefan Nilsson in Ă–rebro, Sweden in the autumn of 2001.

Having performed, both together and separately, in different (more or less serious) projects like Octoberland, Lazer Stefanz, Volvo 242 and PAF, Pontus and Stefan decided to form Spetsnaz and give it 100% of their energy.

Inspired by pioneering acts like DAF, Front 242, Die Krupps and
