Safemode is a metalcore band from Uppsala, Sweden, formed in the spring of 2007. Drawing inspiration from bands like Underoath, Blindside, and The Devil Wears Prada, Safemode quickly built a reputation for high-energy live performances and a powerful emotional connection with their audience.

In 2009, Safemode competed against over 600 bands in the Swedish national music competition Rockkarusellen, emerging as overall winners. The victory led to a 16-date Swedish tour, including a performance at the renowned Arvika Festival, as well as tours in Germany and the release of two self-produced EPs.

The band released their 10-track debut album For A Better Tomorrow in 2010, followed by the music video I’ll Show You The Exit. In 2011, the album was re-released worldwide in 25 countries, and Safemode toured Latin America with Sleeping Giant and The Almost. That same year, the band won the Red Bull Bedroom Jam, performing at the Sonisphere Festival after party alongside acts such as In Flames and Slipknot, before embarking on a European tour supporting American band Showbread.

In 2013, Safemode released the EP Gold Digger, which received extensive radio airplay in the United States. The single Another Day Will Haunt You reached #1 on RadioU’s Most Wanted chart. The band returned to Latin America in 2014 as a headlining act, further strengthening their international fanbase.

Safemode continued to grow throughout 2015 and 2016, working with producer Dino Medanhodzic on their second full-length album Colorblind. Released in 2016, the album featured the single This Is Not The End, which has surpassed 1.4 million streams on Spotify. The band also performed at Sweden Rock Festival and once again headlined a Latin American tour.

In the years that followed, Safemode released the single This Is Now (2017) and headlined the kRock Festival in Ukraine in front of 8,000 people. In 2019, the band returned with the single and music video No Matter, partially filmed in Colombia, reigniting demand from fans worldwide.

In recent years, Safemode has released several of their most requested songs as Live Studio Session versions, giving fans a more raw and intimate take on the band’s sound. To celebrate surpassing one million streams of the song This Is Not The End, Safemode also released a stripped version of the track in 2023, marking a milestone in the band’s career.

Safemode is now back in full force, currently working on their third full-length album. The project marks the reunion of original members Robin “Tjet” Gustafsson, Juuso Savolainen, and Johannes Karlsson, joined by Robin Elo (formerly of Castañeda Segerström) and Felix Posner. With new music on the horizon, Safemode is entering a powerful new chapter while staying true to the sound and intensity that defined their legacy.
