New Store Stock Reference Number-2550972327 Product Description - Starchaser is a new band formed by former Tad Morose guitarist Kenneth Jonsson.Initially, the musical journey that Kenneth was on was supposed to be a solo album, but turned into a brand new band after the chemistry between the players he was working with became apparent. Vocalist Ulrich Carlsson Shaggy, ex-M.ILL.ION, bassist Orjan Josefsson Cibola Junction, drummer Johan Kulberg Wolf, Therion, Hammerfall, etc., and keyboardist Kay Backlund Lions Share, Nils Patrik Johansson, Impera, etc. round out the Starchaser lineup.The band caught the attention of Frontiers Records srl that released in 2022 the debut album Starchaser, largely composed by Jonsson and Carlsson, is produced by Roger Bergsten at Nevo Studio in Sweden.After leaving Tad Morose, Swedish guitarist Kenneth Jonsson decided to focus on songwriting. He had an idea to combine his 'outside' musical influences into the hard rock/metal genre he was known for. By 'outside' musical influences, think of composers like Phillip Glass and Max Richter, whose inspiration will show up here and there throughout the band's songs. He was able to quickly assemble a nice batch of songs and thus set to work to find the fellow musicians who could help him bring his vision to life. His first choice for a singer was Ulrich Carlsson Shaggy, ex-M.ILL.ION, whom he felt has the perfect mix of clean and raw tone in his voice. Ulrich is also very melodic in his approach and of course, an incredibly nice guy to work with. Ulrich wrote all the lyrics and vocal melodies for the songs and came up with some arrangement ideas which Kenneth felt made the songs sound even better. Kenneth later asked Orjan Josefsson Cibola Junction to handle bass duties. Having known Orjan for a long time, he was Kenneth's first choice for the role as he really needed a bass player who thinks musically the same way he does. As with Ulrich, Orjan contributes to the songs in a meaningful way and fits perfectly into the concept of the band. A long time ago when Kenneth played with Torch, he became very good friends with drummer Magnus Ulfstedt ex Eclipse, Jimi Jamison, Nordic Union. Magnus was initially supposed to play on the Starchaser album, but schedules didn't work out. Fortunately, Magnus kindly helped Kenneth get in contact with Johan Koleberg Wolf, Therion, Hammerfall, etc., who turned out to be a perfect match. Since Kenneth's songwriting is based on the piano, he needed a skilled keyboard player who could help him develop his ideas into bigger ideas, so he was able to get in contact with Kay Backlund Lions Share, Nils Patrik Johansson, Impera, etc.. Kay agreed to play keyboards on the album and suited the concept perfectly. iHaveit SKU ID 165157074
