| Fredrik Olsson guitar 2004  Fredrik
was never a member of Destiny but as he was an old friend of Janne he agreed
to help out in live situations after Niclas had left Destiny. Fredrik also
play guitars as a special guest of Destiny on Beyond All Sense 2005. Stefan
had met Fredrik for the first time way back in 1994 when he was a member
of Ruin. Last year he left Lost Horizon and now has a new band called The
Heed that also features former Lost Horizon and Destiny singer Daniel Heyman. |

Niclas Granath guitar 2000 - 2004  Niclas
left Destiny due to personal problems. He now lives in his old home town,
Kristinehamn where he as far as we know plays for fun In a cover band.
He was a great guitarist and will hopefully find his way back into harmony
and return to his musical career. |

| Zenny Gram Vocals 1986, 1993 - 1995 - 2001  Zenny
Gram, then called Hanson, joined Destiny in 1986. He left Destiny for the
first time in 1993 to play in a cover band called Lazy Babes, featuring
Magnus Rosén of Hammerfall. He was replaced by Daniel Heyman, now
in Lost Horizon, who in turn only stayed for a couple of months before rejoining
his former band Ruin. Destiny never found an other singer good enough to replace Zenny and when Stefan played the demos for TUC to Zenny he agreed to rejoin the band. After the album was recorded it took some time for Destiny to secure a record deal and during this period Zenny got an offer to sing for Treasure Land on their debut album "Questions". Zenny talked to Stefan about this and they both agreed that as Destiny wasn't doing anything at the moment he might as well accept the offer. Still a member of Destiny Zenny recorded with Treasure Land and played some gigs with them before he was asked to leave the band. This was not a problem for Zenny as Destiny by this time was ready to release TUC and was once again in need of Zenny's services. In the summer of 2000 Destiny had recorded the backing tracks for the next album FOTP and Zenny was about to start working on the lyrics when he realized that had problems with his inspiration. He worked on the lyrics for more than six months before he decided that he couldn't do it. He had a serious case of writing cramp. He decided to leave Destiny once again as he felt that he was holding the band back. Almost a year after Zenny quit Destiny finally found a good enough replacement in Kristoffer Göbel. As far as we know Zenny has no plans to join the music business again but if he does, the best of luck to him. Zenny was a very important part of Destiny for fifteen years, so don't be too surprised if he will pop up on stage as a guest for a couple of songs if he and Destiny happens to be in the same town at the same time... There are also talk of a duet between Zenny and Kristoffer on a studio recording in the future... only time will tell... |

| Anders Fagerstrand Guitar 1999 - 2000  In
1998 Anders, then in Pagan, and Stefan got together to build Destiny Recording
Studio, DRS. When Knut left Destiny six days before an important gig with
In Flames Anders was the logical first choice as replacement. Unfortunately Fagge (Anders nickname) couldn't stay for long in the band since he had to move from Gothenburg to Stockholm due to a new job. Before he left Destiny, as well as DRS, in 2000 he and Stefan managed to demo the songs for FOTP as well as playing rhythm guitar on the actual album. Today Fagge works at Luthman Scandinavia in Stockholm. Some time in the future when time allows it Fagge and Stefan will probably work together on some kind of studio music side project... |

| Tomas Fredén Drums 1998 - 1999  Joined
Destiny in 1998 replacing Björn Öhrfeldt who was on loan from
Pagan. A very talented drummer that unfortunately only stayed in the band
less than a year before returning to his former band, Twilight, now called
Beyond Twilight. He recommended Niclas Granath as guitarist for Destiny when Gunnar Kindberg left the band. |

| Gunnar Kindberg Guitar 1985 - 1986, 1988 - 1991, 1995, 1998  Replaced
John Prodén late 1985 but soon left when he got an offer to join
Von Rosen (featuring bassist Magnus Rosén now in Hammerfall). When
that band split up Gunnar joined a cover band featuring former EF Band bassist
and vocalist Per Eriksson. When he got an offer to rejoin Destiny in 1988 he didn't hesitate. Although he left Destiny as a permanent member in 1991, to concentrate on his work and family. Gunnar has several times rejoined the band as a live guitarist. In 1998 he once again became a permanent member of Destiny only to leave for the final time in 2000. |

| Knut Hassel Guitar 1989 - 1995, 1998 - 1999  Joined
the band in 1989 just prior to the recording of Nothing Left To Fear. Unfortunately,
he doesn't appear on the album. After the recording of The Undiscovered
Country in 1995 Knut got an offer from Peter Lundgren to join his new project
7:th Planet, which he took. However when TUC was finally released in 1991 Knut once again reappeared in Destiny playing a couple of shows with the band. Later the same year he moved to the north of Sweden, more than a 1000 km away from Gothenburg. The band tried to go on but in the early part of 1999 it was clear that this was sadly not going to work out and unfortunately Knut left Destiny being replaced by Anders "Fagge" Fagerstrand. Knut is to our knowledge still a member of 7:th Planet |

| Björn Ohrfeldt Drums 1998  Björn
was never a member of Destiny. Actually Stefan asked him to join way back
in 1983 but he declined. When "The Undiscovered Country" was going
to be released Destiny still hadn't found a replacement for Håkan
Svantesson so Stefan asked Björn to help out and he agreed. He did a bunch of gigs and was again offered the position as drummer in Destiny but he once again declined as his premier band Pagan was finally starting to complete their third album, which by the way still is not finished. Today Björn plays seventies hard rock in a very good cover band. It's actually Pagan with an other name. No, I don't know when the third Pagan album will be completed but as I have heard some of the song I'm sure it will be their best so far when it's finally released. Cheers and thanks to Björn for his help and to Pagan for lending their most talented drummer to Destiny. |

| Håkan Svantesson Drums 1994 - 1995  Håkan
replaced Peter Lundgren as the drummer in Destiny. He was also responsible
for getting Daniel Heyman into Destiny. He recorded the drums for "The
Undiscovered Country" but quit the drums after the recording of the
album. Recently we heard that he once again have started to play the drums. |

| Daniel Heyman Vocals 1994  Joined
the band in 1994 replacing Zenny. Unfortunately he only stayed for a couple
of months before rejoining his former band Ruin. He still managed do play
three gigs with Destiny. One was at Magasinet in Gothenburg and this was
according to Stefan still one of the bands best gig ever, at least so far.
Daniel also introduced Christian Silver, then drummer in Ruin and owner and engineer of then brand new studio "StudiOmega", to Destiny. Christian has since recorded both the demo as well as the actual album, "The Undiscovered Country". He mixed the fifth album FOTP as well, but that's another story. Anyway when Ruin broke up Daniel joined Conviction before ending up in Lost Horizon where he gets lots of well deserved praise. Daniel never recorded lead vocals for Destiny but he does sing backing vocals as well as harmony vocals along with Zenny on "The Undiscovered Country". |
