July 31, 2007, 17 years ago
Frontiers Records has issued the following report on MAGNUS KARLSSON:
The STARBREAKER guitar player has been quite busy in the past few months. After completing the songwriting and production for the second ALLEN/LANDE instalment The Revenge, Magnus has completed a brand new record with ex-YNGWIE MALMSTEEN and RING OF FIRE singer MARK BOALS on all lead vocals. This new album, entitled The Codex is going to be a slightly heavier affair compared to the most recent efforts from Magnus and will showcase Boals’ return on the scene after a 3 years hiatus. Release for this incredible record is tentatively scheduled for December, '07. Stay tuned for more details.
Not content with this, Karlsson is already in very advanced stages for the songwriting of the sixth BOB CATLEY solo album. For this record Magnus dug deep in his Celtic and Epic Hard Rock influences and gave the material anyway an heavier edge, similar in places to Catley’s When Empires Burn with obvious hints to MAGNUM sound. Production for the album will be handled by none other than Dennis Ward.
Finally, ex-TNT singer Tony Harnell has planned a songwriting trip to Sweden in August to write together with Magnus the new Starbreaker album. More details on this will be unleashed when available.
