UNLEASHED: Video Interview With JOHNNY HEDLUND
December 23, 2008Holland's FaceCulture recently conducted an interview with bassist/vocalist Johnny Hedlund of Swedish death metallers UNLEASHED. Johnny talks about living in Sweden, rebelling and spreading his message through UNLEASHED, the up and down periods of UNLEASHED, recording in the band's own studio, the group's latest album, "Hammer Battalion", and lots more. Watch the chat in five parts below.
UNLEASHED's ninth full-length album, "Hammer Battalion", was recorded in Sweden and produced by the band's guitarist Fredrik Folkare, "Hammer Battalion" takes a battle-hardened axe to the misguided concepts of self-subjugation, transparent corruption and unneeded suffering in the name of religious figureheads and provides a perfect link between the ancient struggles of their Nordic forefathers and the ills of our modern society. The blistering "The Greatest Of All Lies" and "Long Before Winter's Call" take on old religious myths re-cast as pure fact, while "Your Children Will Burn" serves as a warning of the consequences of blind faith. "Whatever is done in the name of different religions is often done against Mother Nature," notes vocalist/bassist Johnny Hedlund. "And she has the means of striking back."
UNLEASHED's current lineup:
Johnny Hedlund: Bass, Vocals
