Of the two, he considers Paganizer to be his only "true" band, as they are the only one of his to perform gigs and tour, with Ribspreader and all of his other projects being studio-only endeavors. He has collaborated with numerous notable vocalists in death metal through his work, including Kam Lee (Massacre)[[note]]Bone Gnawer, The Grotesquery, and The Skeletal.

His "main" bands (as well as his most famous), Paganizer and Ribspreader, each have a page on Wiki/TheOtherWiki, the former of which being his longest-running group as well as his first, having released their first album in 1999. In both groups, he plays guitar and sings. Musically, both bands play old-school Swedish death metal in the vein of Music/{{Grave}} and early Music/{{Entombed}}, which is very much an indicator of what his other projects sound like as well.

* AGoodNameForARockBand: Many journalists who have interviewed him have expressed a liking to the name Ribspreader, with quotes calling it "one of the most amusing death metal band names ever". Rogga usually responds half-jokingly in agreement.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: The first Paganizer record ''Deadbanger'' features a melodic death/power metal sound that was never revisited since, and Rogga uses a high-pitched scream that makes him sound completely unrecognizable.

* StrictlyFormula: If you turn on any album involving Rogga, you pretty much know ''exactly'' what you're getting. Mid-paced Swedish death metal with catchy riffs, occasional blasting portions, and lyrics about every common death metal subject. The man himself has admitted that he knows all his projects sound the same, but keeps creating because he always wants to stay productive and do what he enjoys.

Roger "Rogga" Johansson (born May 25, 1976) is a Swedish DeathMetal musician. Hailing from the small village of Gamleby, he is well-known for being one of, if not the most, hard-working and prolific musicians in the genre. While most famous for his guitar playing, he is also both a talented multi-instrumentalist and vocalist, having musically contributed in some way to dozens of albums over the years. That's not hyperbole, either - [[https://www.metal-archives.com/artists/Rogga_Johansson/664 his Metal Archives page]] lists him as a member of over 50 different projects, a number that continues growing with time.
