For this new album, “We Are The Night”, Magnus again enlisted a dream team of singers featuring some of the strongest melodic singers in metal and hard rock. The list includes the awesome Noora Louhimo (BATTLE BEAST), Dino Jelusick (ANIMAL DRIVE, DIRTY SHIRLEY), Ronnie Romero (RAINBOW), the newest vocal star on the Frontiers’ label, Renan Zonta (ELECTRIC MOB), Tony Martin (MOLLO/MARTIN, ex-BLACK SABBATH), and Mike Andersson (CLOUDSCAPE). Rounding out the line-up on the album is Anders Kollerfors on drums. Jacob Hansen (Volbeat, Primal Fear, Amaranthe, Pretty Maids, etc.) mixed. On making the album, Magnus says “After all hours of songwriting and recording, I sat back and listened to the final mixes and wondered, ‘How can I ever top this album?’ It has the sound and vibe I’ve always been searching for. Old and new friends that I admire are singing their hearts out and making the songs better than I ever could have dreamed of! Well, the third Free Fall album is something really special to me and I hope it will be that for you too!”
Of Dino Jelusick, the guest vocalist on first single, ‘Hold Your Fire’, Magnus shares that “I first heard/saw Dino on YouTube and then checked out his band Animal Drive. I was totally knocked out by his amazing voice! He’s got a voice that can be compared with many of the singing legends we adore, but he’s got his own style filled with heart, soul, and tons of power! Crank up ‘Hold Your Fire’ and get ready to get blown away by the awesome Dino Jelusick!”
This is an absolute beast of a release which can’t be missed by anyone who loves melodic European metal!
