| Shiva was formed in 2001 and the band’s main members are Mats Edström (guitars, songwriter, producer) and Anette Johansson (lead and background vocals, co-producer). This well-rehearsed team released two albums: “Shiva s/t” (2002) and “Desert Dreams” (2004). The same-titled debut album got great reviews all over Europe and Japan, and also the following album “Desert Dreams” was critically acclaimed. On SHIVA’s new album “The Curse Of The Gift”, SHIVA has become a band. The new members are Mats Ottosson (comp guitar), Mattias Höijer (bass), Mikael Malmborg (drums) and Niclas Olson (keyboard) who guested on “Desert Dreams”. Niclas’ drum playing has brought a wider dimension to SHIVA’s sound. The music can be described as melodic progressive rock / metal, but the band itself simply describes it simply as modern melodic hard rock. The music’s style ranges from ballads to dark heavy rock and the lyrics are very important for each of the songs. “The Curse Of The Gift” has been created in two years of time and no musical compromises have been made. | |
