| Inspired by the
unexpected success of "Confessions", their first
full length album of all original new material, the Swedish
band Angeline now delivers the much anticipated follow-up
"Disconnected". Angeline looks back on a vivid
band history of more than two decades. After the band's
foundation back in 1987, when most of the boys were still
in their teens, they played their first gigs together. In
the years to come they recorded a couple of demo songs with
original singer Jörgen "Sigge" Sigvardsson
and eventually released the Mini-LP "Don't Settle For
Second Best" (1990) and the CD Single "Rain"
(1994). Fate hit the band very hard when "Sigge"
passed away in 1995 due to complications caused by a bad
heart condition he had to live with all his life. With guitar
player Jocke Nilsson taking over the lead vocals the band
played as a full blown cover band for several years. In
1997 they even recorded an album of cover versions, which
was produced by Mats Lindfors (Europe, The Poodles, H.E.A.T.),
who had already overseen the recordings of an unreleased
3-track demo a couple of years earlier. After a couple of
line-up changes during the 90's and the bi-annual Family
Day that was held since 1997 in memory of the late vocalist
Jörgen "Sigge" Sivardsson, it was in 2007 when the former members of Angeline decided to perform a one-off show on this special day to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the band. Much to their surprise they realised that a new generation of Angeline fans had grown. Based on this pleasant surprise the four began to write and record new songs which ultimately led to the release of "Confessions" in the spring of 2010, their first full length album of all original new material in more than twenty years. "Disconnected" now picks up where "Confessions" left off and with only two albums under their belt the band has managed to create it's very own sound. It's a unique combination of Melodic Rock, a genre that was popular when Angeline first started out more than twenty years ago, with super catchy hooklines, multi layered harmonies in Harem Scarem fashion and a healthy dose of Modern Rock, which shows their wide range of influences from bands such as Daughtry, 3 Doors Down and the recent Bon Jovi albums and for good measure a bit of the Retro Hard Rock sound à la Airbourne and Bullet is added. The album features a crisp and powerful production by the band's guitarist Jocke Nilsson and a state-of-the-art mastering by Björn Engelmann (Stage Dolls, Wig Wam, Within Temptation, Friestedt-Williams). The band members are very proud of this Rock solid record and they are looking forward to present their new songs as part of their energetic live shows. |
