From the album KRYPTONITE.
Sometimes musicians are put together who only know each other from afar
via their respective recordings, but something clicks and triggers a
magical moment. That's exactly what happened when Jakob Samuel from The
Poodles met up with producer Alessandro Del Vecchio on the heels of a
concept created by Frontiers President Serafino Perugino. Together, they
set off to work on a new band that could offer lyrical concepts that
are deep and intelligent with music that operates within the genres they
excel in. And most importantly, has a great energy and impact.
Together
with executive producer Serafino Perugino, they handpicked each
musician to be part of their vision for a strong lineup of young and
hungry Swedish musicians that would be ready to go out there and kick
some ass. Pontus Egberg, formerly of The Poodles and now the bass player
for King Diamond and Treat, was the first one to enter the picture,
followed shortly thereafter by Robban Back of Mustasch (and ex-Eclipse).
The choice of guitar player fell to the young and immensely gifted Mike
Palace. Mike showed his huge talents as a writer and performer on his
band Palace’s debut album and on several songs he has already written
for the label.
The recording and writing sessions flowed freely
and the songs came naturally. This band will truly set a standard for
what fans perceive as melodic hard rock in today’s climate. It is
classic, but modern at the same time, groovy and cool.
You will love what Jakob, Michael, Pontus, and Robban have cooked up for you as Kryptonite!
