Lifelover was formed in June 2005 by B and ( ). A demo called Promo 2005 was recorded, it contained two tracks of improvised misery, but it was never officially released. The band was thereafter put on hold, but woke to life again in early 2006.

When the recording of Pulver began in April, 2006, LR and 1853 where recruited to the band. Pulver was released by Goatowarex the 25th of July, 2006. The LP-version was released by Northern Sky Productions.

Some time passed and new material started to take form and the recording of Erotik began, and H. joined the crew. Erotik was released by Total Holocaust Records the 24th of February, 2007. The LP-version was released in co-operation between Blut & Eisen och Eternity Records.

In late 2007, Lifelover signed a contract with Avantgarde Music and recruited two new members, Fix on bass and S on drums for upcoming live shows. LR left the band in April, 2008. Lifelover performed a miserable first live show at Harry B James in Stockholm, September 28th, 2008.

Lifelover's third album Konkurs was released by Avantgarde Music, October 10th, 2008. The limited edition of the album contained among other things the Promo from 2005, on CD format.

Osmose Productions re-issued both Pulver and Erotik on CD in 2009, Erotik was re-issued the 21th of January 2009 and Pulver the 7th of May. Member 1853 and live-drummer S. both left the band in May 2009. Already some days later Lifelover was joined by a new drummer called Non.

Lifelover is currently working on material for a yet unnamed MCD/EP. This autumn Lifelover will begin touring in Europe.
