There are at least three artists with the name "Spetsnaz": 1) Swedish electro-berzerkers Spetsnaz (russian acronym for Special Forces) were formed by Pontus Stålberg and Stefan Nilsson in Örebro, Sweden in the autumn of 2001. With the powerful vocals, frenetic pounding bass lines and relentless rhythmic assault, Spetsnaz have the aggression and the melody to be the missing link between the heavy scene and the pop scene. Being fans of the electro genre for many years, both Pontus and Stefan felt there was an emptiness in the EBM scene.
