Je suis en train d'écouter et ça a l'air d'être une bonne surprise
JOHAN LANGQUIST THE CASTLE, the solo project of CANDLEMASS singer Johan Längqvist (a.k.a. Johan Langquist),will release its self-titled debut album on CD and vinyl on June 27 via I Hate Records. The record was initially released digitally without a label in 2024.
Johan has worked together with a wide range of well-known Swedish musicians and "Johan Langquist The Castle" evokes the magic feeling of classic 1970s/1980s heavy metal/hard rock/doom. It comes in the vein of BLACK SABBATH (Tony Martin era),Ronnie James Dio (solo and with BLACK SABBATH),RAINBOW and SAVATAGE, with a touch of doom added for good measure.
JOHAN LANGQUIST THE CASTLE is not to be seen as a "studio project"; on the contrary, a full lineup will soon take shape, and both live shows and a second album are being worked on.

01. Eye Of Death
