Info for Hunt the Flame
The fourth installment of Magnus Karlsson's Free Fall, "Hunt The Flame". Once again, the multi-talented Swedish guitarist/songwriter/producer has assembled a killer cast of incredible lead vocalists to lend their talents to his musical vision.
For “Hunt The Flame”, Magnus once again enlisted some of the strongest melodic singers in metal and hard rock. Stunning performances are provided, in order of appearance, courtesy of Alexander Strandell (Art Nation, Crowne), Jakob Samuel (The Poodles), James Durbin (Durbin, Cleanbreak), Kristian Fyhr (Seventh Crystal, Ginevra), James Robledo (Sinner's Blood), Michael Eriksen (Circus Maximus), Girish Pradhan (Girish And The Chronicles), Raphael Mendes (Icon Of Sin), Terje Haroy (Pryamaze, Mantric Momentum), Jake E (Cyhra), and Antti Railion (Celesty, Diecell, The Wildfire).Rounding out the line-up on the album is Anders Kollerfors on drums with Magnus Karlsson handling all other instrumentation on this stunning slab of melodic metal.
Magnus Karlsson is well known as the mastermind behind several productions associated with Frontiers Music Srl, including the successful initial Allen/Lande (Russell Allen and Jorn Lande)trilogy and the recent spin-off, Allen/Olzon (Russell Allen and Anette Olzon), which has released two albums thus far. Additionally, releases by Starbreaker (with Tony Harnell), Bob Catley, and Kiske/Somerville have been guided by his talented hand. In 2008, he joined German heavy metal icons Primal Fear and with them has toured the world and recorded several successful albums which charted in multiple countries around the globe.
In 2013, he launched his solo project “Free Fall” which was warmly received by the numerous fans of the Swedish mastermind and showcased Magnus’ songwriting and production skills with lead vocals provided by a varied cast of some of the finest singers of the genre on each release.

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.
