Destiny is a heavy metal/progressive metal band from Gothenburg, Sweden, founded by Stefan Bj?rnsh?g. In 1982, Destiny, one of Sweden's very first real heavy metal bands first saw the light of day. Unlike the few other Swedish bands in the genre that were around back then Destiny still exists. Early influences included Black Sabbath, Savatage and Metal Church, but most of all Destiny have taken their influences one step further and added so much that the result is completely their own.
