Former HAMMERFALL Bassist To Join TARJA TURUNEN's Touring Band?

July 21, 2008

Former NIGHTWISH singer Tarja Turunen has reportedly asked ex-HAMMERFALL bassist Magnus Rosén to join her touring band for the upcoming fall 2008 trek. It is not presently clear if Rosén will accept the offer.

Rosén is continuing work on his solo album with the Swedish National Symphonic Orchestra (Göteborgs Symfoniker). One of the pieces that drummer Birger Löfman of the long-running Swedish metal band DESTINY plays on is called "Bluesman" and was written by Rosén, arranged for the orchestra by Jan Alm and conducted by David Björkman.

Rosénis scheduled to make a "solo bass" appearance at this year's Wacken Open Air festival in Germany.

Footage of Magnus Rosén performing with Hvilakvartetten at Konserthuset in Gothenburg, Sweden on October 6, 2006 can be viewed below.
