Freedom rock it's about the feeling in the music, let the music take you to a better place and let the music free you, Jan Martens thought about that after listening to VAN HALEN that they music sound so easy and flow so nice and the Jan Martens said it's sound like Freedom rock.
Jan Martens and me played in a different band already and we stayed in touch and jammed many times, we wanted to form a band and I already knew Ludwig and I know that he was the best Drummer for the band, the hardest part was finding a Lead Singer to be a perfect match to the style we were trying to get, we even thought that it will be impossible to find a Lead Singer that will have the energy for the music we wanted to create, however Don Alsterberg the producer of the band GRAVEYARD said that he knows a guy (Kim Fransson) who lives in the area he lives in , however it took some time till we met him and we did met him by coincidence in a TV show that, and Kim Fransson was auditioning there for a keyboard player gig and we jammed together and he started to sing something and we were amazed by the energy and I asked him to sing a song by THE WHO "see me feel me" and was perfect and we understood that we have found the best singer for us.
It's hard to explain, cause for me I always listen to this kind of music and we are playing the music we like and not cause of the renaissance in hard rock music
We had a touch with many labels however they heard our demo cause we share the some management as GRAVEYARD and it's very easy they liked what they heard and we thought that they are big and can help us spread the Freedom rock, it also helped that we had some clue regarding the sound that nuclear blast is looking for so it made it easier
When I was very young my brother and sister played alot of THE BEATLES and old bands. However I started to play later on however if I need to be specific I will say Ron Asheton from THE STOOGES, Angus Young, Malcolm Young, Pete Townshend, I really like Ritchie Blackmore and last but not least Eddie Van Halen
It's funny because it was very easy and didn't take lots of time and we had a great time together
Yes we are going to play with GRAVEYARD and we already have some shows by ourselves mostly in Scandinavia however we would like to play as much as possible
I think that the vibe and the feeling of the album does represent what we are trying to say regarding the Freedom Rock
Yes we have already started in matter effect we have many material that we didn't put in the release album that we think is really good so it will probably go into the new one.
Mainly doing live shows and touring with GRAVEYARD, maybe some work on our next release.
I've done some videos in the past and I usually don't like it however this time it was very enjoyable and fast
