Welcome to my page and many thanks to all of you for stopping by to support.
The story began in '97 when Christer Wedin of Empire records,Stockholm (Talisman, Glenn Hughes, all the major heavy acts...) gave me the chance to record the first Sabbtail's album "Otherworlds". Since, many years has passed by and time was come for me to build my own project. From there on, Blackstone was born.
First, Johnny Olsson joined the project to play the drums, then i started looking for a great singer to finalize the tracks as soon as possible. I had the chance to get involved Tony Mills (TNT, China Blue), Mats Levén (Malmsteen, Therion, Krux...) and Björn Jansson (tears of anger, Ride the sky, Beyond twilight).Though all these awesome singers participated to work the songs out, Björn Jansson seemed to be the natural choice for Blackstone, his very stylistic vocals approach matching my guitar tone at its best !! Now, we work as a team to write the songs. The American producer Beau Hill was interested working with us, Fredrik Nordström from Studio Fredman would be ok to make it for real as well...Things seem to move the right way !
