Twenty-seven years into a career that continues to grow, Swedish metal band Narnia takes huge steps into an exciting chapter with the new album “Ghost Town”. The seasoned five-some once again shows how to shape a masterpiece with this melodic metal future classic

On the ninth studio album, “Ghost Town”, Narnia has picked the icing on the cake from its vast catalog. You can’t simply label this album a neoclassic metal album or a power metal album, even though these elements are present. There are also parts that are progressive, modern, heavy, or just creatively different. But you can summarize by saying this is well-crafted piece of classic and melodic metal.

Exclusive Package by CJ Grimmark (Narnia) Now Available for Pre-Orders!

The founder and guitarist of the Swedish metal band Narnia – CJ Grimmark – to release a Christmas-album together with a band of renowned musicians.

CJ Grimmark returns with his second solo album, 15 years after his self-titled solo debut from 2007. Together with the renowned musicians Anders Johansson (ex-Yngwie Malmsteen’s Rising Force, ex-Hammerfall, ex-Manowar, Tungsten, etc.), Anders Mossberg (Jerusalem), Andreas “Habo” Johansson (Narnia, Avatarium, Royal Hunt), and Anders Köllerfors (Anette Olzon, Allen/Olzon, Magnus Karlsson’s Free Fall, All For The King, etc.), Grimmark creates instrumental interpretations of carefully selected Christmas hymns.

Doing this is something I’ve had in mind for almost two decades, and it finally happened. explains Grimmark and continues: This is a very mellow album in general, and not a metal production with shredding guitars, but the rock elements are present too. Thanks to the artistic freedom we all allowed ourselves to express there’s a great deal of different musical territories explored throughout the record.

First episode of the new video podcast Jono & Friends is out now. Host is Jonatan Samuelsson (Narnia, Starmen) and first guest is Tjet Robin Gustafsson (Safemode).

The duo has a real good time, sharing laughs, common tour memories, and gives us a WORLD PREMIERE by letting us listen to a snippet from the upcoming Safemode-album “A Golden Horizon,” along with a new recording of the song Another Day Will Haunt You.

This video podcast is maybe some kind of spontaneous sequel to the online music tv-show WahWah, for which Jonatan was host for. But this time, the focus is to promote bands from Jonos roster and also friends, co-workers and other interesting people.

Prepare for a show mainly about music, a bit of humor in Swenglish (Swedish/English) and interesting guests!

We hope you will like it as much as we enjoyed making this!
