Sandström was a founding member of Grave, performing as lead singer and rhythm guitarist, although he switched to bass after the departure of Jonas Torndal.[6] He left Grave after their third album, Soulless in 1995.[7]
After his departure from Grave, he joined Entombed on bass. He stayed with this band until 2004, departing due to not wanting to tour.[8]
While still with Entombed, in 1998 he was a founding member of The Project Hate MCMXCIX, an industrial death metal project which he still performs in as male vocalist.[9]
In 2002 he co-founded doom metal band Krux as guitarist, along with vocalist Mats Levén (ex-Yngwie Malmsteen), bassist Leif Edling (Candlemass), and drummer Peter Stjärnvind (Entombed).[2]
In 2004, after his departure from Entombed, he joined Vicious Art, as bassist and backing vocalist, alongside former Dark Funeral members Matias Makela and Robert Lundin.[10] Vicious Art called it quits in 2011.[11]
He was a founding member of Torture Division, alongside guitarist Lord K. Philipson (also of The Project Hate) and drummer Tobias "Tobben" Gustafsson (of Vomitory).[12] This band disbanded in 2014.[13]
In 2015, Sandström joined Candlemass as touring bassist, covering for Krux bandmate Leif Edling who was forced to sit out touring due to health issues.[14] He shared bass duties with keyboardist Per Wiberg who performed when Sandström wasn't available.[14] He played with Candlemass for several years.[7]
In 2018, Sandström and Philipson founded death-doom project Domedagen, meaning Doomsday or Day of Reckoning in Swedish.[15] The two have recorded several songs using programmed drums.[7]
In 2022 Sandström rejoined Entombed again as bassist but also as lead vocalist.[16]
