Magnus Karlsson’s Free Fall
Biographie Magnus Karlsson’s Free Fall
Magnus Karlsson
is one of the great virtuoso power metal guitarists in the world today, and one of the more prolific songwriters on the European metal scene. Magnus serves as a guitarist and one of the main songwriters for the German power metal band Primal Fear. He is well known as the creative force behind the first three Allen Lande albums, with singers Russell Allen (Symphony X) and Jorn Lande (Masterplan, Jorn). He has also recorded two solo albums under the titles Freefall and Kingdom of Rock, where along with playing every instrument other than the drums, he performs lead vocals with several prominent rock and metal singers. Magnus is truly a one of a kind talent and has a unique way of combing as he puts it, a modern power metal sound, with the sound of classic heavy metal. From this fans perspective, his new project titled The Ferrymen which features vocalist Ronnie Romero (Rainbow, Lords of Black) and drummer Mike Terrana (Masterplan, Tarja), is one of the strongest releases of his career. A fair way to describe this new band is a modern power metal Rainbow, and this new record is sure to be considered by many as one of the highlights in the metal world for 2017. Metal Exiles had the opportunity to speak to Magnus about this great new project, and it appears at least a possibility, that we could see more albums from this metal super group in the years ahead.
