Skitsystem (Swedish pronunciation: [ˈɧîːtsʏˌsteːm]; literally "Shit System") is a Swedish crust punk band formed in early 1994.[2] The band members originally came from different death metal bands, bonding over a common interest in punk music, particularly D-beat.[3] Initially the group was a side-project of two members of At the Gates.[4] The band announced in December 2007 that they were on indefinite hiatus.[3] However in November 2009, Skitsystem signified their return to activity after the group announced plans to play two shows in Gothenburg in late February 2010.[5]

Frontman Fredrik Wallenberg cites the group's initial influences as Anti Cimex, Asocial, Discharge, Doom and Disrupt.[4]
