Former YNGWIE MALMSTEEN Singer To Record Backing Vocals For HEED Debut

July 21, 2005

Former YNGWIE MALMSTEEN frontman Göran Edman will be laying down the backing vocals for the debut album from HEED, the new Swedish band featuring former LOST HORIZON members Daniel Heiman (vocals) and Fredrik Olsson (guitar). "Daniel will put screams and some backing lines [while] Göran takes care of the fat atmospheric voices," the group write on their web site. "The reason for this, the band reveals, is because Göran's voice serves perfectly as a magic relish behind Daniel's monumental tone."

HEED's debut CD is tentatively scheduled for release in Japan on October 21. Release dates for other territories have yet to be announced.

As previously reported, HEED have uploaded at their official web site a jukebox featuring six songs that will appear on the group's debut album. Check out the tracks "Tears of Prodigy (Fallen Angel)", "Moments", "The Other Side", "I Am Alive", "Last Drop of Blood" and "Ashes" at this location. New photos of the group, whose current lineup is completed by drummer Mats Karlsson (stand-in drummer for LOST HORIZON's Spanish tour) and bassist Jörgen Olsson (ex-SEVENTH ONE),can be viewed by clicking here.
