There’s plenty of variety across the tracks, be it grandiose, driving riffs or sombre moments, and it never gets boring. I think this new release has re-ignited my love for these Swedes.

!GeRald! is a class act with a pinch of absurdity, which makes them just my type. Nothing is overdone or blown out of proportion, but it is still in your face.

Michael is not only influenced by great guitarists, but also classical composers such as Beethoven, Ravel and Stravinsky. The maestro’s back catalogue speaks for itself, and this striking addition only strengthens that portfolio.
