BiographyCarl’s own history is this! –“My background as a musican started early
 

 

How it all started

 

The first time when I published ManStrand songs on Myspace (2008), I was a little bit nervous, will people like it or not? But when I got a lot of good response I'v made a decision to make a cd and send it to music-record-companies!

So I asked my old friend and bassplayer Fredrik if he wanted to join my new band, Yes he said!   I then announced after a fast soloplayer, I got 6 answers. I choosed Rick without a doubt! Then I announced for a drummer, I got 4 answers.

All of them were good but the problem was no one had a studio for the drums. I tried to fix the drum-mix myself but it was a hell, I gave up after a month.   In Maj I had to call a proffesional drummer  Håkan Hansson, he even have a great drum-studio and can with ease change drum-play if I want !

-Carl ManStrand (guitar and vocal ) history:

“My background as a musican started early when I was 16. I bought my first guitar and after 2 months I had composed my first song, a blues. Mike Bygdemark, Kenth Bostrom and I started a band named The Duke, later we called us Moonrock. We had some gigs in Stockholm.

Two years later Mike and I started a band called Stormwarning (Count Raven, today) with Dan Fondelius. And we had lot of fun. I quit the band 3 years later.

Instead I started recording songs with the drummer Jens Bock a couple of years!

I think I composed 250 songs in different genre. At least 20 of them were very good! Then I quit all composing, I was tired of it. About 10 years after quiting (only played little in my home) Then one day Jens Bocks brother Jimmy called me at the phone, he wanted a bassplayer. I thought it could be cool to give the music a new chanse !  And it was! Since then I had been involved with the music again!

- I realy love fast riff, and nice powerful songs. One style i like to compose is also crazy punk, "just let it out" sound. "  I have a goal and that is to make the absolute greatest song ever, I have it in me, I can feel it !!!  But I believe that is on every true musicans heart! - I dont feel any purpose to do music that doesnt touch me!  I have to admit that writing lyrics is not what I like to do, Im more a tuner, loves to compose music thats not boring me . And if anyone present a song for me and I dont like  song in let us say 15 first seconds, I drop off . Thats why I almost start a song with powerfull riff!"

Fredrik Appelgren (bass-guitar) history:

Fredrik have been involved in many bands over the years, with Swedish music celebrities in all sort of genre etc. And performed in Globen - one of the famous musicplace in Stockholm. And on TV a several times in the program “Söndagsöppet” etc ! He started his carrier at the age of 15. He can play various of instrument like, piano, horns, viola, guitarr etc!  Feffe is also a composer!

- Rick (Rille) Hoerberg (guitar, his speciale is fast guitarsolos) history:

Rille started playing guitar at age 12. After a year or so he started to put a band together with some friends. That band was the foundation for the Trash-speed metal band Appendix, who teared together a couple of demos and a split EP during some busy years in the eighties and early ninties. The band broke up and a time of coverband and troubador playing started. After some time he decided to try his luck in the great land in the west together with one of the Appendix guys. After a couple of years there he finally moved back home. Rille is also a composer!

John Sempill - Our new drummer on stage and in the music video!

 Hell (with) the King

 

I can give you everything

I can give you what you want

I can give you a better life

I can make you satisfied

Just let me  hear you yell

You’r the king of hell

I make you feel so well

Get down get down

 

Hell with the King – of Betrayal

Dont Kiss the ring – He wear

Hell with the king – of all the graveyards

Every one – feel fear

 

I can make you rich and great

Dont ever lose your faith

Believe just what I say

And I will lead your way

Look at my fire eyes

I make you hypnotized

get down, get down

 

Hell the king – If you want to

But beware, he’s Death

Hell the king – let him close you

But prepare, for the end

 

Im the king of demolution

Im the king of black and dark

I will put you in a cell

Cause Im  the king of hell

Im a reader of your mind

And I know you feeling blind

Its time for you to scream

Yes we are a hell of (a) team

I will tell you what to do

-show them lies and not the truth

Sign your name in blood my friend

I be with you til the End

 

Hell the King – like a soldier

Its  war, in your head

Hell the king-it feels colder

Like ice- in the sun

 

 Im the master of dark and split

Im sure you will admit

Its no time for love and peace

And I hate all the priests

I will give you  a second chance

Before I set you in a trance

I want your heart and soul

It fits good in my hole

 

Hell the king... hell with the king...hell the king ..hell with the king.
