Truckfighters formed in Örebro, Sweden in 2001 as a lean stoner rock outfit centered on the songwriting partnership of guitarist Niklas Källgren and bassist Oscar Boström. Their debut Gravity X (2005) on Fuzzorama Records established their fuzz-heavy, groove-driven approach, and follow-up Phi (2007) cemented their reputation in the European desert rock scene. The duo released five studio albums and returned after a decade-long hiatus with Masterflow.
