Bio:

Midnight Sun was formed in Summer 1996. Still under the name of Tranquility the group gave a series of club shows all over Sweden and - after changing the band name to Midnight Sun – recorded their debut album, Another World in the ´Roasting House` Studio. The CD was released in in Japan, Sweden and Germany in 1997 and received brilliant reviews in BURRN, Young Guitar, Music Life, etc. Their follow-up work, Above & Beyond was released a year later and showed, with the help of two guest musicians, drummer Hempo Hildén (Dokken, Slash, Glenn Hughes Band) and the brilliant guitarrist John Norum (ex Europe), the band in the style of the heroes of melodic hardrock´s á la Rainbow, Deep Purple and Yngwie Malmsteen. BURRN awarded Above & Beyond 89 from 100 possible marks and this was reflected in other reviews all over the world. For their third album, Nemesis (also awarded 89) Midnight Sun changed the line-up again. In the place of guitarist Chris Palm came the young, talented Magnus Karlsson who had already made a great name for himself for his fabulous playing in numerous other Swedish bands. Karlsson's fancy playing left a permanent mark on Nemesis and often led to comparisons with Malmsteen and even to Iron Maiden.New to the band is singer Jakob Samuel who has replaced shouter Pete Sandberg. "There were no personal problems between Pete and I," Reingold explains. "It was just the right time to go our separate ways. It's a bit like a football team - you have to change the players now and again to stay competitive. Even if such a shake-up means taking a certain risk." After Sandberg left Reingold contacted his old friend, Jakob Samuel who travelled down from Stockholm and who put all doubts aside at the very first rehearsal session together. "He was steaming!", Reingold recalls, still impressed. "His singing just blew us away." Guitarist Magnus Karlsson, who joined the band for the recordings of the last album, Nemesis has become an especially important part of the current Midnight Sun lineup. On Metal Machine, Karlsson can demonstrate all his talent. His precise, rhythmical way of playing and his clever solos prove him to be a brilliant instrumentalist, who enhances Metal Machine as much as he does on his own new Last Tribe album, The Ritual. Completing the current lineup is drummer Jaime Salazar, certainly one of the best and most popular Swedish drummers of the day and also a member of the Scandinavian progrock elite band, The Flowerkings. Majestic Keyboarder, Richard Anderson was invited to play as guest musician and although keyboard parts on Metal Machine are few and far between, Richard can be heard during his brilliant solo in ´Distorted Eyes`. The eleven tracks of the new album were produced by Anders Theo Theander (Majestic, Pain Of Salvation etc.) in the Swedish ´Roasting House` Studios! .

Album:

Nemesis is the third album by Swedish melodic metal/hard rock band "Midnight Sun", originally released in 1999.The band founded by bassist Jonas Reingold and singer Pete Sandberg brings brought on board new members guitarist Magnus Karlsson and drummer Jamie Salazar..It may be because of singer Pete Sandberg's extremely peculiar solo excursions that many mistakenly mistake this full-bodied Swedish bite for an AOR band. At the same time, MIDNIGHT SUN, as this third album underlines once again, are at best partly plush. Big, majority choruses like the one from 'Resurrection' suggest that Pete and his regular writing partner, bass player / keyboard player Reingold must have heard long grooves from Prophet in the past. Mainly, however, the Scandinavians orient themselves more towards classical and rainbow-inspired concentrates from the Malmsteen and Riot schools than towards soft eggs, which can recite the lyrix of all Journey ballads from scratch. So it fits into the picture that MIDNIGHT SUN cover their compatriots Europe, but with 'Seven Doors Hotel' they pimp up a classic from tough debut days and not a commercial teardrop like 'Carrie'. In any case, the practical test speaks for MIDNIGHT SUN: When I played up tempo knockers like 'You And I' and 'I Don't Know' to a good friend last week, a fan of the last Riot records and demonstrably no friend of exaggerated catchiness, he noted " Nemesis "immediately on the shopping list.
