Prologue
ReplyDeleteThe third album in the career of Astral Doors is set to be a landmark in modern metal. After releasing two already classic albums, the band knew that on their third album, they once again would have to perform at the top of their skills to please themselves and their fans. Determined to create a masterpiece, Joachim Nordlund, Patrik Johansson, Johan Lindstedt, Mika Itäranta, Martin Haglund and Jocke Roberg moved into the studio, locked the door and threw away the key. When they broke out, about 5 months later, the result was more than brilliant: A pure metal/hard rock album with loads of classic tunes. Songs like “Black rain”; “EVP”, “Apocalypse revealed”, “London caves” etc. are pure dynamite. The release date of “Astralism” is set to March 2006. But let’s travel back in time a bit here. What did the guys do before they started creating classic hard rock together in Astral Doors? How did they meet? Here is the full story of Astral Doors:
The early days
In Borlänge, a small town in the middle of Sweden, there is a place called The Rock house. It’s a place with a lot of rehearsing rooms for bands that can’t afford to rent flashy rehearsal studios. Patrik Johansson had his melodic metal band Staircase, which rehearsed there. He often ran into Joachim Nordlund who played guitar and sang in the strange progressive group Erina. They were by no means friends, but said “Hi” to each other when they met in the corridors of The Rock House. Keyboard player in Erina was Jocke Roberg. Martin Haglund rehearsed with his death metal band Enslavement a few doors away at the end of the corridor. And at that moment not aware the existence of the other guys except for Johan Lindstedt and his current band.
