In 1987 the band "Arena" existed. We made some songs and a few concerts on Orust. 25+ years later a Video tape of one of the concerts in "Henåns Aula" resurfaced from somebody's closet, intriguing me to do a remake of the original song "Down for the count" just for the fun of it. As a big bonus, the original singer Stefan "Svenne" Svensson joined in to put his vocals on. Stefan also happen to have every demo recorded from the 80s in his "vault" ;) In other words, there are more remakes to be made, and, as all four original members are getting into this retro-trip at this very moment, collaboration might spur new material to be written and released in 2015. Enjoy!

Arena - Down for the count (2013 version)

Yet another release of an Arena original to see the light of day after 25+ years of closet time. Tune written by Rob Hakemo and Fredrik Medin around 1986-87. 
This Arena reuninon re-recording (april 2014) features the vocals of Stefan Svensson, bass of Rob Hakemo and guitars and stuff by myself. Hail to the eighties! ;)

Arena Reunion - Far in the morning

Electric Earth VS. Jærnregn - Worries [No Worries Remix]

Transport League track Fist Huffer recorded in 1999, a demo version of the track that became Shut to Drown. ( Shut to Drown from Satanic Panic). This version is kinda different, more stonerish if u like :)
Recorded at Oral Majority by Roberto Laghi.

.. enjoy :)

About going to a festival which we all love. Tuff deadline on this one, the first 80's metal Project made in my kitchen studio since the new gear this april. This is to my friends at SR and a few others perhaps? ;)

Festival Calling (down at Swedenrock)

Musician based in Gothenburg/Sweden. For the moment bass player in the Stockholm/Gothenburg based death metal/hardcore band the RESISTANCE. Previously in  Massive Audio Nerve (a.k.a M.A.N) which have released 4 full length albums; "Obey, Consume, Reject" (2006), "Peacenemy" (2008), "Massive Audio Nerve" (2010) and "Cancer Vulgaris" (2013). Also the founding member of the grindcore act Relevant Few which released "Who Are Those Of Leadership?" (2001), "The Art Of Today" (2003) and the split CD with Afgrund in 2007.

Been bass player/songwriter and member in: Ton Of Bricks, Slave State, Gooseflesh, Kerozene, Engel, Outshine, Hide The Knives and Tribute bands like: Desert Plains (Judas Priest Tribute), Plantera (Pantera Tribute..still active), Kung Diamant (King Diamond Tribute). Also been collaborating with Andy La Rocque, Snowy Shaw and Sharlee D´Angelo in the project Illwill during the time between 1993-1998. I'm working on new stuff all the time, such as lyrics and music. Also been some kind of a journalist for some metal magazines, fanzines and webzines and done interviews with bands like Sick of it All, Ill Niño, Napalm Death, Strapping Young Lad (Devin Townsend), Cult Of Luna, Life Of Agony, Sepultura etc. 

Right now I'm busy writing new material for the next Massive Audio Nerve album, due out some time next year (2012) and the "new" project Them & Us, which I also lay down some vocals for, cause we haven't found the right vocalist yet for it. This band (project) is more in the style of NIN, Placebo, A Perfect Circle, I guess. There's also a new metal project in the making as well that goes under the name None, in the style of Killswitch Engage, In Flames, Soilwork etc.

So Thanx for stopping by and hope you enjoy the music. /R
