Leprous just released the first single from the upcoming album.

Always such a pleasure working with really good friends Einar Solberg, Baard, Tor Oddmund Suhrke, Robin Ognedal and Simen Daniel Lindstad Børven. I think 2024 marks the 10 year anniversary for us working together as well, which sounds crazy!

Really proud of all of us, that we manage to not repeat the same album over and over again but instead something new and unique each time.

Great mix by Adam Noble Producer as usual, always a pleasure working with such a humble guy.

Watch the video now and let me know what all of you think:

Can't believe it's been 6 years since I mixed this epic show. I really enjoy mixing live stuff when you have such a great band as Opeth!

The first single from Einar Solbergs solo album has been out for a few weeks and the next one drops a week from now. It's always a blast to work with my great friend and one of the most talented singers and song writers I've had the pleasure to work with. It's been a trip to see him and us evolve through the years. I think we worked together the first time over 8 years ago and this is where we are now. Super proud about this release, such a great and versatile album. Thanks my little Norwegian brother for trusting me with your music once again❤️

Great performances by Hrafnkell Örn Guðjónsson and Magnus Børmark on this one too!

I hope you all enjoy it as much as I do. Have great weekend everyone!

Back from vacation and found a podcast that I forgot to post when it was released. Better late than never, right?

I think this is only my second podcast in English so hopefully more than just Swedes can listen to it.

Thanks to Masteryourmix and Mike Indovina for the chat!

You can find it at Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and all of the other major podcast streaming services.

I hope you’ll enjoy it!

Hey,

This might be my first podcast in english that has been released.

If you enjoy listening to two friends that catch up after a long pandemic, go and give it a listen. We talk drums, production and just life in general I guess. We had a fun chat and I hope that gets across.

You can find it on all normal streaming / podcast platforms or at extremedrummerspodcast.com

Here´s the third single from Whitechapel’s album ”KIN” that will be released October 29th.

I had so much fun mixing these fine gentlemen’s music. Thanks Wade, Phil Bozeman, Zach Householder, Benjamin Savage, Alex Rudinger and Gabe Crisp for once again trusting in me. Such an amazing album you’ve done and I’m proud to be a part of it!

Check out the first two singles as well, Lost Boy and Bloodsoaked Symphony. Awesome videos too, which I find rare these days.

I hope you’ll will enjoy it as much as I do. Have a nice weekend everyone!

It's finally out! Almost 2 years since we cleared the masters so the wait has been longer than ever.
I still can't believe that these fine gentlemen in Carcass trusted me with this album. It was a true honor to work with them. Such an amazing album by true LEGENDS, which I now can call my friends. Thanks for the trust and the experience El Cynico, Bill Steer and Dan Wilding!

I hope you guys enjoy it! Let me know what you think.

Loved working with these easy going guys that create very complicated music. Love you, gilipollas!😊

It is 11PM in Stockholm and we are happy to announce to all of you that the new album is already mixed. After thinking hard about the right person to take care of the sound we wanted we decided to go with David Castillo. For those that maybe doesn’t know him, he is the man behind some great albums involving bands like Leprous, Soen, Opeth or Whitechapel.

The amount of hours and resources we have put on this release is way beyond any other album we have ever conceive. We have put the question mark on every little detail from the writing process, to the very last production element.

Also, the commitment David has shown on the whole process definitely shows up in the final sound of the album as it sounds huge, powerful and very organic.

For us, every new album means a new challenge to surpass and this particular one has been no exception. For the first time ever we couldn’t be happier with the result.

Thank you very much for being there.
