Frontiers Records will release the debut album from WIGELIUS, entitled Reinventions, on June 29th in Europe and July 2nd in North America.

Wigelius is a sensational new AOR band from Sweden built around the talent of Anders Wigelius, a gifted young vocalist who came to the attention of producer Daniel Flores (ISSA, THE MURDER OF MY SWEET, MIND'S EYE) after he sung the popular JOURNEY song, 'Don't Stop Believin'', in a contest on national Swedish TV. Watch below:

A true melodic rock / AOR music fan, Anders grew up with music from RICHARD MARX, TOTO, Journey and FOREIGNER and played AOR songs covers in a band called GAMBLERS, before going his own way with his own thing.

“Since I discovered the joy in writing my own songs and I have been doing it since then” says Anders. “The music of Wigelius is powerful and big: it’s a guitar and drums driven sound, with a strong melodies on top. The arrangements are intricate with some theatrical modern parts, and there’s also a more downscaled side to it with emphasis on an acoustic feel. You can hear influences from Toto, Journey, VAN HALEN and WHITESNAKE.”

Anders is in his early 20's, which is an advantage when creating new ways of marketing modern AOR. He plays guitars and keyboards and also writes music for other bands and has been quite successful with that. His older brother Erik Wigelius, plays drums. This is a hit, hungry, horny and amazingly talented new band, plus they look amazingly good.

“I was fortunate to meet some great guys for this band”, continues Anders, “but without Daniel Flores, there wouldn’t be Wigelius. We had a blast recording the album and with his experience the songs just kept getting better and better”.

The lineup is rounded up by Jake Svensson on guitars and Chris Pettersson on bass.

Wigelius is also all about having fun! Without the enthusiasm for the music and lots of laughs during the process, Reinventions would have never sounded as energetic and "big" as it does. The collaboration turned out to be a perfect match of people sharing the same vision in making music together. The best still lie ahead! Everyone in the band is very excited to be a part of it!

Harry Hess (ex-HAREM SCAREM) mastered the album.
