Sorry for the lack of updates, but now I am back! I’ve been quite busy these past two months. In beginning of May I decided to start work on third Space Odyssey record and this time with Magnus and me composing the songs. So we did. I’ve had a lot of fun together with Magnus creating the 10 tracks in just one month. We both decided to do it simple and plain and with no progressive elements. This time the songs are very far from what I have done before. Now you can actually separate my two bands Time Requiem and Space Odyssey in many different ways.
Since Patrik was busy with his own band at the same time as I wanted the vocals immediately I simply found a new but brilliant singer David Fremberg from the Swedish band Andromeda. He was invited to do the songs and it took two days to put down the vocal tracks. Excellent man!
If you are into Tony Martin, David Coverdale kind of a singer you will love this one. He sounds awesome!!!
Everything’s moving fast and the release date for Japan is set for 2006 November 21. Rest of world around that time. I’m still working on that.
Right now I’m spending time with my family at the same time as I am planning my future activities. I have many interesting projects coming up this fall. I might also join…? We’ll se!
I will do all the keys for Dushan Petrossi’s Magic Kingdom record including Mike Terrana drums and Mark Boals or Oliver Hartmann on vocals. They are working on that right now I think.
But first I must complete the keys for Swedish project called GEFF including Ralf Jedestedt, Anders Johansson (ex. Malmsteen, Hammerfall), Jens Johansson (ex. Malmsteen, Stratovarius) and Göran Edman (ex. Malmsteen, Time Requiem etc). More info
Other website updates: New press pictures, a new interview, some cool reviews, a couple of new MP3s in the audio section and some updates in other projects.
So! STAY METAL and enjoy the sound clips from SPACE ODYSSEY’s “Tears of the Sun”

どうやら新譜のタイトルは「Tears of the Sun」というタイトルみたいですね。 今回も日本先行発売で11/21発売予定。 オフィシャルでは新譜のサンプルが少しだけ聴けますよ〜。 僕が聴いた感じ、今作はミドルテンポでギター中心の曲が多いみたいです。 どうやら新譜はこれまでと路線を変えたみたいですね。
で、なんと、今回はVoが変わってます! David Frembergという人で、ANDROMEDAというプログレッシブメタルバンドのVoです。 ニルス・パトリック・ヨハンソンは他のバンドで忙しいみたいです。。
