Bio:
Vandor was formed in 2015 by brothers Vide & Alve Bjerde after years of playing local gigs under different band names, dreaming to play in a Power Metal band. Shortly after the name Vandor was adopted, solo artist Jack L. Stroem was recruited and Vandor as we know them today, was formed.Despite resorting to stand-in musicians and not having released any music publicly, Vandor was able to play at some of the most popular rock clubs in Sweden. This also gave Vandor a chance to cherry pick the music that was going to be featured on their debut LP “In the Land of Vandor” that was released independently on January 31, 2019. The LP was praised for its fresh take on the Classic European Power Metal-sound.After releasing “In the Land of Vandor” the group set sights to reach new audiences by playing both in the UK & opening for Sonata Arctica. It was also during the fall of 2019 that Vandor released the fan favourite “Well of Salvation” which features a guest appearance by Tommy Johansson (Sabaton, Majestica) on Lead Guitar.2020 put the world on halt but it did not stop Vide, Alve & Jack who were ready to enter the studio again and work on their sophomore LP “On a Moonlit Night” In early 2021 a deal was written in inc with Italian record company Scarlet Records for “On a Moonlit Night” What happens next in the land of Vandor...?

Album:
Swedish power metal warriors Vandor have released the details of their new album "On A Moonlit Night". In the band's own words: "On A Moonlit Night feels without doubt like a highlight in our career: we took a look at everything we loved with our debut - 2019's In The Land Of Vandor - and aimed solely at writing in that vein. We are proud that we managed to cover so much musical ground on this album, spanning from the anthem-sounding Mountains Of Avagale to the beautiful Future To Behold and the intense warmongering tale Fate Of Eltoria and finishing with the almost 20-minute-long saga The Sword To End All Wars. This record is more power metal than our previous one, but we have also embraced progressive rock, which might not come as a shock for those familiar with our music. As for the bonus material: this is our way of thanking the fans! The 4 songs available on the CD show the different musical backgrounds we, as a band, have - with echoes of country music in the acoustic version of Future To Behold, our love for video game music in the 8-bit version of Fate Of Eltoria and our very own encore tradition song Together We Fight.""On A Moonlit Night" was written, produced and recorded at the Vandor HQ outside Gothenburg by Alve Bjerde, Vide Bjerde & Jack L. Stroem. The album was mixed by Jason Carter at Wavelength Studio and mastered by Tom Nunes at Atomic Mastering (both located in Salem, Oregon, USA). The album artwork was made by super talent Nele Diel and it captures an unknown world waiting to be explored, with different tales to be told from the land of Vandor.
