Bio:
Wildness was formed by Erik Modin in Stockholm, Sweden early 2014.Being both drummer, guitarplayer, songwriter and music producer - Erik's original plan was to make a solo album/co-project, with original songs and collaborate with friends and other musicians for additional lead vocals, lead guitars and stuff.With influences like Dokken, Def Leppard, KISS, FM, Europe, Talisman and stuff like that, the plan was to carry on the torch and make melodic hard rock masterpieces.Guitar players Adam Holmström and Pontus Sköld were already included when lead singer Gabriel Lindmark joined in early 2014, and shortly after it was decided to make it into a full band instead under the name "Wildness".Two songs ('Alibi' and 'Stranger') was recorded and released trough Youtube during the spring 2014.The debut single "Collide" has been recorded during the spring, and is written, produced, mixed and mastered by Erik Modin at his production company ERFX Productions.The band has been spending the last year working on material for a full album, which will be released in the near future.
Album:
The idea behind WILDNESS began to grow in the summer of 2013 when the first songs were written. With main focus on heavy guitars, wide keyboards, big drums, melodies and hooks, something new and exciting began to emerge. At this point, Wildness was more of a studio project originally founded by drummer and songwriter Erik Modin while the guitar players Pontus Sköld and Adam Holmström shared the lead guitar parts. The search for the right lead singer wasn't easy, but after a few months they met the unbelievable vocal talent of Gabriel Lindmark in early 2014. After more song writing and demos, it didn't take long until it was clear that WILDNESS deserved to be a real band. On September 1st 2015, WILDNESS independently released their self-produced debut single Collide which immediately gained a lot of spins at various digital platforms such as a number of online radio stations focused on AOR and Melodic Rock. Live performances that followed showed that the band was capable of delivering on stage as well. The second single Turning The Pages was released on January 14th 2016, and shortly after that WILDNESS were approached by Georg Siegl from German record label AOR Heaven. The contact resulted in a record deal which allowed the band to finally begin the launch of their first full-length album. A producer was hired in mastermind Erik Wigelius (Wigelius, Care Of Night) and the pre-production and recordings took place between during 2016 and 2017. The main part of the record was recorded at Erik Wigelius' studio, besides additional parts recorded by drummer and co-producer Erik Modin. The two previous singles Collide and Turning The Pages were re-recorded for the album. The mixing and mastering was handled by Erik Wigelius, who really knows how to take the 80's-influenced sounds at put them in the 21th century! Despite their short career, WILDNESS have already shared stages with well-established acts such as WHITE WIDDOW and DYNAZTY.
