Norwegian Rock/Metal Singer ‘Per Fredrik Åsly’ (aka PelleK) has posted a cover of ‘Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree’. The video can be watched below.
Last summer PelleK fronted multi-national metallers Dragonforce for their appearances at the MetalDays (July 29 in Tolmin, Slovenia) and Benátská! (July 30 in Liberec, Czech Republic) festivals. Åsly was filling in for regular Dragonforce vocalist Marc Hudson, who was forced to miss the dates due to “health problems/issues.”. Video footage can be seen here.
PelleK is famous for his powerful 4 octave vocal range, and has within a short period of time gotten millions of views on youtube, sung with singers from Kamelot, Avantasia, Trillium, Seventh Wonder, At Vance, ReinXeed++, been played live on huge televised e-sport events, done over 100 gigs through out the EU/UK and recieved incredible live-reviews. PelleK also sings for the band “Damnation Angels” whos debut album was critically acclaimed and voted best album of 2012 by many people, for instance UK’s Fireworks magazine and progpower USA owner and promoter Glenn Harveston.
PelleK has also released a Christmas album, “Christmas with PelleK” which has been released on November 12th. 2013.
“Christmas with PelleK” is the third studio-album. It is mixed and mastered by Scott Atkins [Cradle of Filth, Sylosis++], features artwork from Jan Yrlund [Manowar, Korpiklaani++] and it’s recorded entirely by the PelleK band in PelleKs studio “The Ninja Academy”.The album features 8 ancient and classic christmas songs, re-arranged for symphonic melodic metal, with alot of progressive riffs and twists. Vocally you can expect PelleKs 4 octave vocal range to shine through in all it’s glory, as well as an added element of jazzy and classy vocals. The guitars and drums are experly executed as always with Patrick Fallang on guitars and Stian Warlow on drums. The booklet comes with a special message to everyone who has pledged, from PelleK, and a nice christmas image of the guys, as well as the amazing and funny artwork by Dargrove custom design-studio. We can guarantee you you’ve never heard these christmas songs sound anything like this. This is an expensive and thorough thick production with alot of punch.
