highly respected producer and knob wizard Anders "Theo” Theander was
asked to put together an "All star” project and with great enthusiasm
and a lot of work PLANET ALLIANCE was born:
Planet Alliance is a project-band where several respected, high
class musicians were carefully selected in order to participate in the
line-up. The musical direction is melodic hardrock/metal with strong
hooklines.
Mike Andersson (Cloudscape) and Magnus Karlsson (Last Tribe,
Starbreaker, Allen/Lande Project) started to compose songs for Planet
Alliance in early 2005. Bob Daisley (Gary Moore, ex Ozzy Osbourne) and
Janne Stark (Locomotive Breath, Overdrive) were also invited to
contribute with songs in order to complete the setlist. Anders
Johansson (Hammerfall, ex Yngwie J. Malmsteen) and Jaime Salazar (Last
Tribe, Allen/Lande Project, ex Flower Kings) was asked to share the
drum responsibilities and shortly thereafter also Magnus Rosén
(Hammerfall) and Bob Daisley joined to share the bass responsibilities.
Except for Magnus Karlsson on guitar there are another 3 fantastic
guitarists that perform on the album. Each guitarist has their own
style and puts their own personal flavour which has made a very
exciting vibe to the album and all guitarists are very different from
one another stylewise. The guitarists are Carl-Johan Grimmark (Narnia,
Rob Rock), Mattias "IA” Eklundh (Freak Kitchen), Janne Stark and of
course Magnus Karlsson.
This is a high class performance and collection of songs in order to
please every whole-hearted metal/hardrock fan that has sense for great
melodies. The album was produced, recorded and mixed by Anders "Theo”
Theander at the famous Roastinghouse Studio AB in Malmoe, Sweden.
