Product Description
Content Introduction Two of the most powerful frontmen of Scandinavian melodic rock team up for the third time. This is the third album from NORDIC UNION, a project by Ronnie Atkins of PRETTY MAIDS and Erik Mortensson of ECLIPSE. The lineup for this album remains unchanged, with Ronnie on vocals and Erik on guitar, bass, keyboards, and backing vocals. However, former ECLIPSE drummer Magnus Ulfstead, who played drums on the previous two albums, has stepped down, and Henrik Erikson has taken over on drums. Lead guitar is handled by former ECLIPSE member Fredrik Folke and former BALTIMOORE member Thomas Larsson, both of whom participated in previous works. Fans who have listened to their previous two albums will have no doubt that the resulting work is superb melodic rock. The fact that Ronnie and Erik, two men who have walked different paths in life, can create one work like this is solely because they share a common passion for melodic rock. However, this album will likely shock many fans. This is because it is the most powerful and melodic album compared to their previous works. Ronnie, in particular, delivers a powerful vocal performance on this album that feels like a cry from the soul, without any hint of the cancer that is ravaging his body. [Track Listing] 1.
