Hell (With) The King
by Maria Voutiriadou at Tue 8:06 PM If you miss some vintage and well-played stuff from the 70s or early 80s, but you’re already bored of the same all-time classic songs from DEEP PURPLE and RAINBOW golden era, a brand new band called MANSTRAND (name taken from bandleader’s last name) is the answer to your problem. Hailing from the glorious Stockholm of Sweden (again!), MANSTRAND seem to have discovered the music time machine, in a way. The only thing you have to do is visit band’s MySpace page or get the debut “Hell (With) The King” and you’ll immediately find out what I’m talking about. Carl Manstrand and his mates recorded 12 songs breathing a retro breeze, full of pure Rock and Metal attitude, risking the fact of the common over-played sound from many bands in the past; but, they seem to be in the right direction.
------------- Been playing tracks off the ManStrand album - its very influenced by Deep Purple to my ears - best track - Classica, it is aptly named. - Maximum FM, England
----
Your band Manstrand is now played on another Internet radio in Germany. Yesterday was the first broadcast of my friend and DJ. The more Manstrand played in Germany, the more Manstrand is known. This is a good preparation and advertising for live events.

-------- Manstrand - Hell (with) the King 12 Tracks Demo Cd, CD, Hard 'n' Heavy ---------- Radio Metal (9 May 2010) Congratulations for the record, very good music ------ All drums are set, and bassguitar too! Anna have set cour and now its only one guitarsolo left! Then a groovy mix before sending all to USA!!! Our new song " Keeping my eyes on you" with sound from the 60:th have a typical drumsound ala 60, made by the producer and drummer Håkan Hansson! Fredrik the bassman plays horn on this song! A bit of exprimental musicsound!!! The new cd have a heavier sound than the first cd says pre-listener. "I like this new cd, cause it has so many different style of rockn roll. It is a album for true rock lover!!! " Carl
ManStrand first review from Rushrock! ManStrand – ManStrand (Self Released) Think back to a time when 70s rock and metal ruled (i.e. the 70s) and this fabulous retro-fest will take you there. Fueled by flared jeans, long hair and a love of the pounding riff, ManStrand’s magnificent music fuses Sabbath with Rainbow and Whitesnake with Deep Purple to satisfy any fan of truly classic rock. Singer songwriter Carl Manstrand has revamped five tracks from his prolific past and thrown them together with seven new compositions. Significantly fellow guitarist Richard Hoerberg is credited with contributing to opening duo Come On and Classica and these two tracks blow the following three out of the water. It seems Manstrand (the man, not the band) might have found the yin to complement his yang in the shape of Hoerberg. It’s a potential match made in metal heaven and promises much for the future. On the strength of this debut, ManStrand’s follow-up – already in production – should take the Swedes to the next level. That time can’t come soon enough. rushonrockrated: 9/10 Man-na From Heaven
Review from Get ready to rock! We've listed albums in order of star rating. Best first. MANSTRAND Hell With The King Led by vocalist / guitarist Carl Manstrand, this is as heavy and fast as trad metal can get without being extreme in any way. Opening track “Come On” is catchy, blistering, and pretty damn enjoyable. Carl Manstrand lists his influences as diverse as Sabbath, Zeppelin, Blackmore to Savoy Brown, ZZ Top, The Sweet, Bach, Mozart and Beethoven. “Classica” sounds like a Sabbath / punk pop crossover band playing a doomy classical piece. Yes really. (Manstrand were on top in this list ) -------
Remember if it costs more than that - mail manstrand@hotmail.com and we send you for this price and it's all included!!! We are very very grateful to our promotors in U.K and Germany. Like they said to us, it takes time to make good things, but they do a good job for ManStrand. ------ Two label companies have said our music is very good. ------ - A question today is what to name the new cd to?! Been thinking of "100% Absolut Rock'n Roll" or "We just want to Rock'n Roll" !! Cause the cd will only have one ballad! Today We have 11 songs planned , I think its enough rock! Our first musicvideo now on Myspace ! -------- When I (Carl) now going trough all these new songs on our new album, wich will be released later this year, I think, If we dont get a really breakthrough with this new cd, the world must be crazy. It's to much great new songs! - Well I'm only honest . Don't mean to put me on a high horse! -------- Order ManStrand music direct from Japan! -------- We have now help from special music promotors who love ManStrand's music, from Germany and U.K to help our music out to the people ! -------- Cd in stock again at CDbaby !!! -------- The song "She was only 17" make succes on MCMM !!! Read more at Radio News! -------- ManStrand now working on a new cd, hope to be finish with all takes til May for sending all tracks to Bryan pro-soundmixer (USA) who has worked with Yngwie Malmsteen, Michael and Jermaine Jackson etc Manstrand now recording drums on 12 new songs for the new album! The cd have sounds like desperat hardrock and Along the watchtower Hendrix style and balad ala Scorpions etc!!! We have also recorded a music video just now which we hope will provide more insight on ManStrand. Hopefully it will appear soon! -------- Interviews , reviews and musicvideo on the way. Probably any time from now, we hope! Carl in a car-accident (1 feb) ! His car is demolished! Carl safed! " Baby you can drive my car- Yes I gonna be a star" Beatles ------------------------- Carl soon as the new cd is finished in a cooperating with an USA talent artist Rick Curti for comon project! more info later! Soon we will send cd to the very big shot places if its needed !!! No, we havent yet send to music companies. Not time yet! One of the new song in the cd with Bryan is "Life" now adopted to "Lies". Its a song made in the late 80, sounds very much Deep Purple. Almost every song is made 80, only 3 or 4 are new songs! -------------------------------------
