Info for Out of the Blue

Peter Carlsohns The Rise ist eine Zusammenkunft erfahrener Musiker wie Michael Ulvsgärd (Jerusalem), Stephen Carlson (Brotthogg, Hansen Band, freiberuflicher Musiker), Peters Bruder Lars Carlsohn, Svenne Jansson (Glam, Golden Resurrection, Jerusalem) und Cutta John Kåre Gullestad (Cutta, Crush, Rune Edvardsen und Red Band, Steven K Band, Heartless). Die Musik ist melodisch, aber nicht zu gut polierter Hardrock, zu dem man leicht mitsingen kann. Peter spielt Bassgitarre und singt Lead-Vocals zu allen Songs. Out of the Blue wird von Peter Carlsohn geschrieben, arrangiert und produziert, von John Robin Skagerlind (Kid Million) aufgenommen, von Tobias Lindell (Europa, Mustasch, Avatar, HEAT, Hardcore-Superstar, Firewind / GusG usw.) gemischt und gemastert von Thomas ”Plec” Johansson (Firewind / GusG, Ia Eklundh, Soilwork, Dynazty, HEAT, Narnia usw.).

"Peter Carlsohn ist kein Unbekannter. Populär wurde er unter anderem durch die famosen Jerusalem, die seit Dekaden als christliche Rock-Institution gelten und noch in diesem Jahr ein neues Album veröffentlichen wollen. Auch bei den Heavyrockern XT und diversen anderen Projekten steht Peter in Diensten. 2004 veröffentlichte er bereits mit der Band The Rise ein Album mit komplett von ihm verfassten Songs. Daraus entwickelte sich Peter Carlsohn´s The Rise. Unter diesem Banner stellt Peter jetzt sein erstes reines Soloalbum vor. Dabei wird er von vielen Freunden aus seiner Karriere unterstützt. Den Gesang hat Peter erstmals selbst übernommen. Out Of The Blue ist der passende Titel für dieses Überraschungs-Album, das Genre-Fans umgehend in seinen Bann ziehen wird..." (time-for-metal. eu)

Peter Carlsohn
began his musical career in the 70s, and has performed with artists in all types of genres since then.

He joined the legendary Christian rock band Jerusalem in 1980, and has both recorded several albums with the band, and toured all over the world during a period of 40 years.

First album he recorded with Jerusalem was Warrior (1981), made them the first Swedish rock band to be played on MTV, and the first Christian rock band worldwide to be played on MTV. Warrior was recently voted one of ”The 100 most Important Christian Records All Times”, by CCM Magazine (USA).

Jerusalem has toured all over USA, and Canada several times, and in 1985 the band made 50 concerts in 4 months. During this tour the album ”In His Majesty´s Service-Live In USA” was recorded, and later voted ”Best Rock-Album of the Year” in GP (Swedish Newspaper).

With the song ”Dancing on the Head of the Serpent” (1987), Jerusalem was nominated for ”Best Song of the Year”, at the Dove Awards (USA).

In the 90s the band released the album ”Prophet”, and toured all over Europe together with legendary Christian rock pioneers Petra (USA).

Since 2017 Peter is the bass-player of the heavy rock band XT, along with band members Björn Stigsson (Leviticus), Sonny Larsson (Motherlode, Leviticus), Dan Tibell (Jerusalem) and Thomas Weinesjö (Veni Domine, Cell 9, Nubian Rose).

XT made several records during the 90s, before the band went into hibernation for some years. At the reunion, Peter was asked to join the band. He has recorded two albums together with XT, and during the fall of 2020, the next XT-recording is getting started.

In 2018, XT was invited to play at a Festival in Laos. This was the first time a Christian rock band was allowed to play in the country, which has been closed for a long time. XT were invited back for the next festival in 2019, and for future concerts.

Jerusalem has been active through the years, and Peter is currently recording some songs for the next Jerusalem-album, to be released in October 2020.

This album contains no booklet.
