PROFILE

The album was recorded with bassist Michael Blomberg and drummer Robin Jönsson. The group recruited guitarist Fredric Avesson and Mikael Olofsson, and the group teamed up once more with Thunman and Calsson. The band then covered Thin Lizzy’s ‘Emerald’ to the ‘Lizzy Songs’ compilation album in 1995.
