When guitarist Lars Chriss (Lion’s Share) and bassist Sampo Axelsson (Lion’s Share, Glenn Hughes) started working together in Lion’s Share in the year 2005, some of the ideas they came up with, didn’t fit the Heavy Metal style LS was going after for the new album. Since the stuff they wrote was way to good to just be scrapped, Sampo came up with the idea of doing a full album worth of songs in the style of classic Hardrock bands like Rainbow, Thin Lizzy, Whitesnake, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath etc.
These were bands that both Chriss and Axelsson grew up listening to, so it felt very natural to do this as a tribute or celebration to what got them picking up an instrument in the first place.
When the music for all songs were written, Thomas Broman (Electric Boys, Glenn Hughes, Audiovision, Hughes Turner Project, John Norum etc.), was approached to put down the real drums for the album. After the basic tracks were recorded in Chriss’ and Axelsson’s studio in August 2006, the guys got in contact with Matti Alfonzetti (Skintrade, Jagged Edge, Alfonzetti), with an offer to join the group and to help finish writing the songs. Alfonzetti recorded his vocal parts at his studio and the album was mixed during Summer 2007.
Road To Ruin transports the Classic Rock of the 70’s and early 80’s into our time. Their sound is fresh, exciting and offers skilled musicanship which truly stands out with a top notch production added. The guitar playing clearly reflects Chriss’ passion for the band Black Sabbath and adds an unpredictable groove to the album. “Road To Ruin” is a debut album that shouldn’t be missed by any fan of the classic hard rock genre!
The summer is upon us! It's upon me at least :D Survived 5 exams this semester and pretty well I might add. So now's the time to do as little as possible and relax!
That's how it normally is... Right now I'm only using the saturday and sunday faces :P
I'll go to Prague in a week so be sure to say hi first :P Or something similar wise ;) Hoping to hear from you soon!
Thank for the add!! Your first album was a kick in the teeth!!Great voice!Great riffs!I wait the next one impatiently! Keep the flame of metal!! A french canadian fan
Think about this for a minute... If I happened to show up on your door step crying, Would you Care? If I called you and asked you to pick me up because something Happened, Would you come? If I had one day left, to live my life; Would you be part of That last day? If I needed a shoulder to cry on, Would you give me Yours? This is a test to see who your real friends are or if you are just someone to talk to you when they are bored I just Did Because you are my friend.
Do you know what the relationship is between your two eyes? They blink together, they move together, they cry together, They see things together and they sleep together, BUT THEY NEVER SEE EACH OTHER.. that's what friendship is
Your aspiration is your motivation, your motivation is your belief, your belief is your peace, your peace is your target, your target is heaven, and life is like hell without FRIENDS
Written with a pen, sealed with a kiss. If you're my friend, please answer this:
Are we Friends or are we not? You told me once, but I forgot. So tell me now, and tell me true. So I can say...*I'm here for you* of all the friends I've ever met, you're the one I won't forget. And if I die before you do, I'll go to heaven, and wait for you
I'll give the angles back their wings And risk the loss of everything. Just to prove my friendship is true... to have a friend like you!
