GUIDANCE OF SIN was formed in 1994, as a side-project to A Canarous Quintet, but quickly turned into a more serious band. 1997 saw the release of the demo "Soul Disparity", which now is considered a cult-tape! This tape was widely spread in the international metal underground scene and resulted in offers from several record labels. The band, however, decided to enter the studio again to record the "Promo-CD '98". This recording made MIGHTY MUSIC sign the band in late 1998.

In April 1999 the release of the GUIDANCE OF SIN's debut album "Soul Seducer" saw the light of day on MIGHTY MUSIC. "Soul Seducer" contained three new songs as well as both the four songs from "Soul Disparity" demo and the two songs from "Promo-CD '98", so the release was a sort of a compilation album. Despite this fact, "Soul Seducer" was received extremely well world wide and resulted in many good reviews all over the world as well as good sales. Shortly after the release of "Soul Seducer" Fredrik (drums) decided to leave the band and instead join Amon Amarth. Fredrik was quickly replaced by Tob Sillmann and L-E Limnell joined the band as the first bass-player.

With a full line-up GUIDANCE OF SIN started rehearsing intensely for the recording of their first real album. This took place at The Sunlight Studio in December 1999 and was mixed the same place in January 2000. All in all ten songs was put on tape, 9 of the bands own composions and a cover version of the Motörhead classic "Killed By Death". These songs show a new direction and sound of GUIDANCE OF SIN, which is best described as melodic and catchy metal with an angry and heavy deathrock angle - completed with a straight forward attitude!!

"6106" was released world wide through MIGHTY MUSIC on the 29th of May 2000.
