Posted on by Lino "AmadeuS" R.

PRESS RELEASE:

Brand new album called “Angel’s Gate” is coming up from melodic rockers Autumn’s Child on February 26th.

Mikael Erlandsson needs no further introduction when it comes to melodic rock.
He has released six successful solo albums and a lot of titles with groups like Phenomena,
Salute among others. Between 2006 2018 Erlandsson front ed the Swedish super group
Secret Service which he toured with live all over the world.
Together with the fantastic guitar player Andy Malecek from the successful German hard
rock band Fair Warning he founded the band LAST AUTUMNS DREAM in 2003 which
also featured Ian Haugland, Mic Michaeli and John Leven of Europe fame at the time. The
self titled debut album was produced by Claes Andreasson and became a great success.
Last Autumn’s Dream went on releasing another 14 albums with different line ups
including great musicians like Jamie Borger (Treat ) and Marcel Jacob (Talisman ). They
toured Japan, England and Germany but decided to take a break in 2018.
Shortly after, Erlandsson founded the group AUTUMN’S CHILD . Their self titled debut
album was released in January 2019 through AOR Heaven feat. Jona Tee on keyboards
(H.E.A.T), Robban Bäck , former drummer of Eclipse and currently in the line up with
Swedish rock band Mustasch, Claes Andreasson of Swedish Westcoast/AOR band
Heartbreak Radio who also produced the first Autumns Child album together with Mikael
Erlandsson. Guitars come courtesy of Pontus Åkesson Moon Safari).

“Angel’s Gate” now marks AUTMUN’S CHILD’s return. This time they have defined their
craft even more and the album is again filled with great songs and classy musicianship.
The album starts off with the song “Where Angels Cry” which offers all of the Autumn’s
Child’s typical elements: hard Melodic Rock with a Nordic touch.
There are homages throughout the album to Whitesnake, AOR, Supertramp, Gary
Moore,10cc, Manfred Mann and ELO but most of all it sounds like nothing else in today’s
music scene.


The album was produced by
Claes Andreasson and Mikael Erlandsson .
Mixed and mastered by Mikael Andersson at Soundport Studio

Mats Karlsson, guitarist and songwriter with classic Swedish hard rock act 220 Volt is releasing his first ever solo album titl ed “The Time Optimist” on December 6th 2019. Mats, a native Swede grew up in Östersund in northern Sweden but has resided in Stockholm since the mid 80’s.
The new record is a collection of songs that are a bit more laid back than the 220 Volt stuff, and m ove freely between rock, hard rock, singer/songwriter style and some AOR touches here and there. Mats asked his brother Ulf to play all keyboards, and gathered some great musician friends to help out incl. drummer Björn “Grizzly” Höglund (Easy Action, The Summit, Hoven Droven), drummer Peter Hermansson (220 Volt, Talisman, John Norum), Bass ace Nalle Påhlsson (Therion, Treat, Easy Action), and also some well known musicians in Sweden as drummer Mike Ajax, bassist Lars Ericsson ( The Summit), the first 220 Volt singer Christer “Frille” Åsell and also vocalist Jenny Fall.
“The Time Optimist” consists of 11 tracks in different styles, nine tracks penned by Mats, one by Mats co written with Björn Höglund, and the album also has a cover of the track “Real Gone” by Sheryl Crow/John Shanks. There are two duets where Mats shares the lead vocals with singer Jenny Fall, and one with “Frille” Åsell.
The term “time optimist” is a Swedish expression referring to a person who is always positive that he/she will achieve a certain amount of work in specified time and often failing.
This self produced release will come out on CD, vinyl and on digital platforms on December 6th. 2019. “Megalo Seitani”  is available as a lyric video & single and a second track will also be released ahead of the album.
