Bio:
Narnia is a Christian neoclassical progressive power metal band founded by guitarist Carl Johan Grimmark and singer Christian Liljegren. The band formed in Sweden in 1996, disbanded in 2010, and reformed in 2014. Their album themes heavily reference The Chronicles of Narnia by C. S. Lewis.Liljegren and Grimmark met for the first time in 1993 in Jönköping, a town in the south of Sweden. At this time Liljegren and his band Modest Attraction were just about to release their first album, The Truth in Your Face. Grimmark was a member of a band named Sentinel. They remained in contact over several years, during which both had trouble with their bands. Modest Attraction produced its second album Divine Luxury in 1996, at the same time as Grimmark decided to leave Sentinel.Liljegren phoned Grimmark and asked him whether he was interested in working together on a project. Liljegren had a passion for melodic hard rock, which he was not able to explore in the band Modest Attraction. Grimmark was instantly interested in a project along those lines.
Album:
Narnia's new album "From Darkness To Light" is the band's eighth studio album and a natural sequel to the previous, self-titled album from the band's return and 20th anniversary in 2016. The spark that Narnia lit on last year's live album "We Still Believe - Made In Brazil" has followed the band into the studio, where this energy has been channeled and structured into a long parade of nine songs. With the musical roots remaining deep in melodic metal, the band has both stretched on to a modern sound where the guitars still dominate, but also allows analogue 70/80s analogue synthesizers to take place in the soundscape. The lyrics are noticeably important to the band and in true Narnia spirit this heritage has been well managed and further refined. The album is produced by Narnia's guitarist CJ Grimmark, mixed by the band's sound engineer Viktor Stenquist and mastered by Jens Bogren at Fascination Street Studios.
