[1] The initial lineup of Beardfish consisted of frontman Rikard Sjöblom, guitarist David Zackrisson, bassist Gabriel Olsson, and drummer Petter Diamant.

Before the end of 2001, Diamant had been replaced by Magnus Östgren, and early in 2002 the band's lineup was augmented by keyboardist Stefan Aronsson.

Later that year, Olsson was replaced by Robert Hansen, and it was this lineup that recorded the band's debut album, Från En Plats Du Ej Kan Se, in 2003.

[6] The following year they were scheduled to tour North America during the summer as part of Progressive Nation, a tour organized by Dream Theater's then-drummer Mike Portnoy; however, they were forced to withdraw from this event after InsideOut lost funding because its distributor, SPV, declared bankruptcy.

[16][17] Over the course of the next few months, the band shared roughly a dozen different videos from studio sessions which seemed to suggest a new album was in the works.

[18][19] Later that month, on 17 May 2024, the band revealed that they had re-signed to InsideOut Music, and announced a reissue and vinyl run of their 2009 album Destined Solitaire for its 15th anniversary.
