Amon Amarth to Sweden Rock 2013!







AMON AMARTH S
Melodic death metal that is not poppy, nor
influenced by folk music though the lyrics deal with Norse mythology and
Viking themes. Amon Amarth from Stockholm have walked their own path on
their way to becoming one of the most succesful death metal-bands of
our time. They formed as early as 1992 and got their first minor
breakthrough with their lauded fourth album ”Versus the world” (2002),
where their sound for the first time was dominated by heaviness rather
than speed. From that point, Amon Amarth earned increasingly greater
success with albums like ”With Oden on our side” (2006), ”Twilight of
the thunder god” (2008) and ”Surtur rising” (2011). Powerful guitar
work, a relentless rhythm section and grandiose achievements from Johan
Hegg, a frontman who both looks and sounds as if he was was born to
perform in a band like this – a combination that has made Amon Amarth
international metal stars.

ONE OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL ROCK AND ROLL BANDS OF ALL TIME RETURNS TO SWEDEN!








You Wanted The Best, You Got the Best - KISS comes to Sweden
for shows at Friends Arena in Stockholm on June 1st, and at the Sweden
Rock Festival in Blekinge on June 6th.

Tickets to Friends Arena will go on sale on October 12th at
9:00 am. The tickets to the Sweden Rock Festival are already on sale.



After nearly forty years, and over 90 million records sold all over
the world, the legend continues to grow from generation to generation,
transcending ages.



A band that has marked a line in the history of music-- there is
before KISS and then there is after KISS. They exploded on the music
scene in the 1970’s. Their live shows offered a completely new way to
experience music: pyro, lights and smoking guitars are just a part of
the reason they have gained a reputation as the best live show on earth.



Now KISS is back in Sweden with their 20^th studio album "Monster" and to play their classic hits with all of the bombastic theatrics KISS fans expect.



The Monster album which was released last week received great reviews
from all media – Aftonbladet calls it “Classic Shock’n Roll for the
2010 decade”.



The devotion they provoke on their fans is unique:"KISS ARMY" is one
of the biggest fans club on the planet. - Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley,
Eric Singer and Tommy Thayer are KISS, one of the most important and
awaited visits is confirmed.

Accept and Jon English to Sweden Rock 2013






ACCEPT


Changing vocalists can prove fatal to a
band’s career. Especially when the former singer is a Legend with a
capital L. Germans Accept have passed this test with flying colors. The
band’s reunion, with American Mark Tornillo (ex-TT Quick) in lieu of Udo
Dirkschneider behind the microphone, has been a tremendous success.
Their comeback album ”Blood of the nation” (2010) was met with raving
enthusiasm and its sequel ”Stalingrad” (2012) repeated the success. But
”just” because Accept has entered a new golden age, they haven’t
forgotten about the old one. Mega classics like ”Balls to the wall”,
”Fast as a shark” and ”Metal heart” are usually still in place in the
setlist when one of the world’s most legendary heavy metal bands hits
the stage

JON ENGLISH AUS

UK born Australian Jon English became a
household name in Scandinavia in 1980, when he when he appeared in the
lead role of the incredibly popular TV mini-series “Against the wind” as
the convict Jonathan Garreth.
Together with writing partner Mario
Millo he also wrote the theme song of the series, “Six Ribbons”, which
became a number one hit in six countries. In Sweden and Norway he became
something of a superstar.
He had his big breakthrough in Australia
as an artist as early as in 1972, when at the age of 22 he was given the
prestigious and demanding lead role of Judas in Jesus Christ Superstar.
The show’s success kept him busy for the next five years, touring all
over Australia and New Zealand. During the same time, Jon also recorded
four albums. But after his third chart topping hit single, “Words are
not enough”, and an Australian tour with Thin Lizzy in 1977, he took a
break from music to focus on his acting career.
In the 80’s, Jon returned to rock and got widespread recognition in most of the western world.
Now the time has come for Jon English to return to Scandinavia and at
his Sweden Rock Festival debut he will be backed by Swedish hard rockers
Spearfish, so expect some powerful rock music spiced with Jon’s
outstanding and soulful whisky-laden voice. And yes, he will play “Six
ribbons”!
