Topic: Album Release News


The newly established Swedish record label Liljegren Records is proud to announce their first two releases!

"7days deliver melodic metal in the 1st class and band leader, guitarist & composer Markus Sigfridsson has a very strong line-up in 7days. 7days started out as a project in 2004. Markus Sigfridsson found that he had a lot of written songs that was just laying around, and that didn't fit into the music of his other bands, Harmony and Darkwater. Darkwater are also at the moment near the release of their second album Where Stories End. Besides from writing music and playing with his bands (Harmony, Darkwater and 7days) Markus is also busy doing artwork/covers and CD layouts for various bands within the genre of hard rock and heavy metal, you can see some of his works at www.tenementdesign.se.



"First to join the band was ex-bassplayer of Harmony, Andreas Passmark (Royal Hunt, Narnia, Divinefire) who also informed Markus about the drummer/session drummer Daniel Flores (Murder Of My Sweet, Mind's Eye, X-Saviour). To complete the lineup Markus was introduced to singer Thomas Vikstr?m (Therion, Talk of the Town, Stormwind and more) by Christian Liljegren, who later also offered a deal for 7days on his label Rivel Records (Liljegren Records), and the line-up was complete.

"The first album, The Weight Of The World was released in 2006 and recieved great reviews.

"Now Markus and 7days are back with the long awaited follow up album Into Forever. It is overall a stronger album including the 20 minutes epic song "Final Wisdom." Joining 7days on the new album is Christian Liljegren (Narnia, Audiovision and Golden Resurrection) and talented singer Erik Tordsson. You will also hear alot more of Caroline Sigfridsson who made a guest appearance on the first album.

"The album Into Forever is produced and mixed by Markus Sigfridsson at Tenement Studios and mastered by Micke Lindh at Masterplant.

"If you are into bands like Ayreon, Star One, Symphony X & Evergrey - This is the album for you!!!

The Melodic Adventure Power Metal Explosion From Sweden

"The story of ReinXeed takes place in a town called Boden in the north of Sweden. ReinXeed is Tommy Johansson?s musical creation and band vision. The band was formed in 2002 and worked very hard with the music style and image to create what ReinXeed call Adventure Metal. Big bombastic music with big lyrics with stories and legends that has been told for centuries with a heavenly hope.

"In late 2007 Christian Liljegren, former singer and founder of Narnia also owner of Liljegren Records got a demo from Tommy Johansson. He was so impressed of what he heard and signed ReinXeed direct to his label.

"Christian is also running a management company and Tommy Johansson are one of his clients. Promotional CDs were sent out to different companies in Asia where Christian saw great potential for ReinXeed and highly praised label King Records in Japan licensed ReinXeed and the release of the debut album The Light and have since then reached good success with ReinXeed?s releases The Light, Higher and Majestic. Liljegren Records releases the Majestic album for the rest of the world except Asia.

"The debut album The Light released springtime 2008 showed the world a new band and talent in the melodic metal world. Now two years later since the release of The Light and the 2nd album Higher and now the 3rd effort Majestic will see the light in Europe & USA.

"Since the releases of The Light and Higher the ReinXeed has toured a lot in Sweden and also been working hard to write new material for the new album Majestic. The musical inspiration for ReinXeed comes from Gary Moore, Angra, Stratovarius, Robby Valentine, Symphony X and Helloween (Keeper Of The Seven Keys 1 & 2 era).

"ReinXeed have worked hard to develop the songs and the production on Majestic and the sound is big, powerful and bombastic with lots of vocal harmonies and shredding guitars & mighty keyboards. ReinXeed are already looking forward for the 4th album production as Tommy Johansson has now tons of ideas and material. Of course the band is hoping to touring abroad especially in Japan where they have a lot of fans since the release of The Light.

"The Majestic album scored 88 points in Burrn! Magazine when it was released in Japan and have since then been in the metal charts in Japan. Everybody are convinced that this is by far the best ReinXeed album and the band already have loads of material for the 4th album so expect a new album in spring/summer 2011.

"Tommy is also involved in a new great band called Golden Resurrection formed by Divinefire, Audiovision, ex-Narnia vocalist Christian Liljegren who signed ReinXeed to Liljegren Records. What we are talking about is Scandinavian melodic metal with neoclassical elements in the finest possible way with a killer production done by Erik M?rtensson (Eclipse & W.E.T.). Their debut album Glory To My King will see the light October 27th 2010 in Japan and November 12, 2010 in the rest of the world. Three promotional videos are planned for the album so Tommy will be very busy the next coming years with ReinXeed & Golden Resurrection. Golden Resurrection - The Melodic Neoclassical Metal Explosion!!!"
