There are at least four bands named Despite:

1) A Progressive melodic death metal band from Gothenburg, Sweden, formed 1998.

DESPITE was founded in Gothenburg in 1998 by Timmy Leng and Fredrik Meister. After some years with a couple of demo recordings and line-up changes DESPITE found its current shape in 2007.

With the new recruits John Lidén, Joseph Astorga (ex. Deus ex Machina) and Alex Losbäck Holstad (ex. Decameron, Cardinal Sin, Runemagick) the band stands stronger than ever. A record deal was signed with Tractor Productions (a new Swedish upcoming label) in 2008 and the recording of the debut album begun in September the same year.

Their first album was released in March, 2009.
