DOCKER'S GUILD have
just released the much anticipated short film for
"Darwin's Tears", taken from the bands critically
acclaimed 2012 debut release "The Mystic Technocracy
Part 1: The Age Of Innocence".
The 10 minute short film for "Darwin's Tears", shot and
produced by Silos Production (the same team that produced
011 by Therion) was film in black and white in the style of
1920's German Expressionism and movie serials of that time,
and represents a video concept unlike any other seen before
in a rock setting.
Lion Music are proud to
announce the addition of ANTON JOHANSSON’S GALAHAD SUITE
to the label’s roster for the release of the epic
“Galahad Suite”.
With a sound that runs across
progressive rock/metal, melodic and hard rock grounds with
equal measure, “Anton Johansson’s Galahad Suite” is the
result of an idea that has been in the head of former Mister
Kite member Anton Johansson for almost 30 years and features
an array of talented musicians including Linus Abrahamson
(guitar and bass), Carl Lindquist (vocals), Mats Bergentz
(Drums), Sebastian Berglund (Keyboards), Anna Forsvall
Lundmark (Cello) and backing vocal by Evelina Andersson,
Ellen Abrahamson and Mikael Cederhag.
The album also boasts notable
guest performances by guitarists Mattias IA Eklundh (Freak
Kitchen, Freak Guitar), Magnus Karlsson (Primal Fear, Allen/Lande,
Starbreaker), Jonas Hansson (Silver Mountain), Dennis Post
(Star*Rats) and Magnus Kristensson (Mister Kite, Planet);
along with keyboards by Jens Johansson (Stratovarius, Yngwie
Malmsteen, Dio) and Lalle Larsson (Karmakanic, Agents of
Mercy, Electrocution 250) and additional vocals by Alf Wemmenlind (Mister Kite, Fifty Grand Suicide).
Project mastermind Anton
Johansson, born 1960, started playing piano when he was nine
years old, guitar at 12 and bass at the age15. Like
everybody else he nursed the dream of becoming a rock star
and played in lots of local bands. In the mid 90’s he
founded Lion Music act Mister Kite with whom who he recorded
and toured with supporting acts like Bruce Dickinson, Dio
and SAGA. In 2007 he joined forces with Linus Abrahamson
(Andromeda, The Codex) to finish the long-time coming
project The Galahad Suite.
