Tungsten We Will Rise Limited Vinyl LP

Overview:

TUNGSTEN were formed in 2016 by drummer Anders Johansson (ex HAMMERFALL, ex Yngwie J. Malmsteen’s RISING FORCE) with a vision of melodic, catchy heavy metal with some hints of ancient folk music spiced with more modern metal. Anders asked his sons Karl Johansson (bass) and Nick Johansson (guitar) to join the band, since they had toured and recorded before together with the Swedish band HULKOFF, so Anders knew they were ready for the task. Karl and Nick are also the main songwriters with vast experience even though they are still young. All that was missing was a lead singer and so, when a decent amount of songs were written and composed, Anders contacted Mike

Andersson (ex CLOUDSCAPE, ex PLANTE ALLIANCE, FULLFORCE) and asked if he was interested in joining TUNGSTEN and become the band’s frontman. Mike was chosen because of his powerful voice and varied style of singing and was deemed a perfect fit.
TUNGSTEN’s debut album has a vibe that combines the Nordic vibe with modern rhythms and sounds. The lyrics on ‘We Will Rise’ deal with both fiction and fantasy, with fairytale-ish stories about ancient wars with knights and heroes.However it also has some lyrics that are more reality based.. drama, passion, sorrow, love and idiocrasy. The man on the cover of TUNGSTEN’s album ‘We Will Rise’ (the one that is holding the lantern and a battle axe) is called Volfram. He will guide TUNGSTEN on their journey...

TUNGSTEN also hooked up with some well-known creatives including well-respected music video creator Patric Ullaeus at rEvolver Film Company and for the artwork the legendary Andreas Marshall who is known for album covers for BLIND GUARDIAN, OBITUARY, HAMMERFALL etc.
