Nirvana 2002 was a death metal band formed in 1988 in Edsbyn, Sweden. The moniker came from two earlier names of the project: The first was Prophet 2002, then changed to Nirvana.

They appeared on the legendary CBR compilation Projections of a Stained Mind with the track "Mourning". Read more on Last.fm
