TALISMAN: New Album, Tour In The Works

March 13, 2009

Long-running Swedish-American melodic hard rock band TALISMAN — which revolves around Jeff Scott Soto (vocals; YNGWIE MALMSTEEN, JOURNEY) and Marcel Jacob (bass, ex-YNGWIE MALMSTEEN) — will enter the studio later in the year to begin recording a new album. A tour is tentatively planned for early 2010.

TALISMAN's latest album, "7", was released on October 20, 2006 via Frontiers Records. Recorded under the working title of "Bar" (which was dropped in the end in favor of the more immediate "7"),the CD once again saw the combination of four amazing talents flourishing to the highest levels. The experienced Swedish bass player and songwriter Marcel Jacob teamed once again with Jeff Scott Soto, drummer Jamie Borger (TREAT) and guitarist Fredrik Åkesson (now in OPETH; ex-ARCH ENEMY) to give birth to a sensational new recording that, according to Jacob, "might simply be our best ever."

Fan-filmed video footage of TALISMAN's December 15, 2007 performance at Tempo Rock in Gualtieri (RE),Italy can be viewed below (courtesy of "saby442").
