FULL FORCE Joined By NARNIA Guitarist

May 28, 2009

FULL FORCE, the new Swedish melodic metal project featuring Mike Andersson (CLOUDSCAPE, SILENT MEMORIAL, PLANET ALLIANCE) on vocals, Stefan Elmgren (HAMMERFALL) on guitar, Magnus Rosén (HAMMERFALL, X-WORLD/5) on bass and Anders Johansson (HAMMERFALL, YNGWIE MALMSTEEN) on drums, has issued the folowing update:

"We can now reveal the fifth and last member to be recruited in FULL FORCE. It is the Swedish guitar maestro Carl-Johan Grimmark. As some of you may know, Carl-Johan is also guitarist in the band NARNIA, and just like Mike and Anders, FULL FORCE will not affect their other bands (CLOUDSCAPE, HAMMERFALL and NARNIA). Nonetheless, FULL FORCE is a real band and not a 'project,' so the ambition is to tour as soon as the album is recorded and released sometime in 2010. All keyboards on the album will most likely be recorded by Mike, Stefan and Carl-Johan."

FULL FORCE recently uploaded its first demo sample, "Heart & Soul", to the band's MySpace page.

According to FULL FORCE's official bio, "Mike and Magnus met for the first time in 2006 during the recordings of the PLANET ALLIANCE album. They became very good friends right away both musically and personally so, since the recording of that album Mike and Magnus have often talked about working more together. Same thing goes with long time friend Stefan Elmgren and Magnus after the departure of the well-known metal band called HAMMERFALL. They also talked often about starting up a new band together, so the course was more or less set in late 2008 when Magnus gave Mike a phone call asking him if he was interested in starting up a new band with him and Stefan. Right now the main focus is writing songs for the album and they have come a long way already. There are already labels interested in signing FULL FORCE but all these details will be announced in appropriate time."
