Swedish metal vocalist Nils Patrik Johansson, currently of Lion’s Share and Astral Doors and formerly of Civil War, has made the track ‘How The West Was Won’ available for streaming through YouTube, which can be accessed below.
Nils Patrik Johansson issues debut full-length studio album Evil Deluxe on May 25th, 2018 through Metalville.
Johansson commented: “I have thought about a solo album for ten years, but then Civil War came into the picture and I used all my ideas for the three albums that we did. After my departure from them, I felt that I wanted to focus 100% on Astral Doors and Lion’s Share. But all of a sudden inspiration came back – and from out of nowhere, I had ten new killer songs. It felt natural to hire my Lion’s Share bandmate Lars Chriss as producer and guitar player. My son Fredrik Johansson plays drums on the record, so finally father and son Johansson will appear on the same album.”
An official teaser for the outing can be viewed below.
Evil Deluxe was produced and mixed by Lars Chriss, while mastering duties fell to Mike Lind.
Cover artwork was created by Mattias Hinders.
