IN FLAMES guitarist Jesper Strömblad and SENTENCED singer Ville Laihiala have reportedly started an as-yet-unnamed new band, with plans to record an album's worth of material before the end of the year. No further information is available at this time.
Sweden's THE CROWN have replaced vocalist Johan Lindstrand with ex-AT THE GATES man Tomas Lindberg. The group's revamped line-up has already started working on new songs, with Tomas actively participating in the lyric-writing and vocal-arranging process. According to Lindberg, '(bassist) Magnus (Olsfelt) called me up when Johan decided to quit, and he basically said that I was the only option. As I have been a close friend to the band since day one (as well as one of their many fans)…what could I say?! I didn't want to disappoint my friends (ha! ha!),and I liked the challenge. After they had made clear that they wanted me to be part not only on the recording of next album, but also the writing process of the same, it was an easy decision for me. I would like to take the opportunity to say 'Hi' to all the fans of the band, and I hope that you'll enjoy this (Devil Gate) ride as much as I will. I look forward to some truly brutal Death Metal years to come. I hope you do, too...'
