Info for Explorer

EXPLORER is a melodic progressive thematic art rock album by new Swedish group Sonic Desolution. There's a bit of classic prog reflecting on the different phases and insights of life across eight chapters. Three main vocalists cover the wide range of dynamics of each song. There are the hoarse soulful vocals of Jan Johansen, in balance with the female vocals of Annica Svensson for the more subtle parts, and occasional heavy rock vocals by Mads Clausen (ex Biscaya, Timecode Alpha) for the most intense parts. The complex yet melodic music is performed by great renowned players: drummer Morgan Ågren (Devin Townsend, Dweezil Zappa, Kaipa), bass player Ken Sandin (Kee Marcello, Uli Jon Roth, Vinnie Moore); guitar player Magnus Berglund (Arctic Rain), Peter Lazar (Timecode Alpha), plus a few guesting session performers.

Sonic Desolution
This Swedish band is founded by guitarist Peter LAZAR and bassist Ken SANDIN with composer Daniel Gustafsson and features three well-known vocalists that cover a wide range of dynamics on each song including Jon JOHANSEN. The music is a melodic classic prog rock with a heavy twist because of writer Peter Lazar's prog metal affiliation.
