...our new CD, the next part in the ongoing search for the truth about
Gods & Monsters

 


Freedom, due to be released in 2007

     
FREEDOM is the next chapter of the Gods & Monsters tale. However, it is but the Prequel to the Sequel, for it is a monologue by the antagonist (and only survivor) of the first part, Ruprecht Murdoch. Let us first go back in time...  


Be Nice, 1998


Gods & Monsters, 2000
     

Kapoor: Mathias Elovsson on drums, Patrik Sporrong on bass and myself on guitar and vocals and theremin.

 

After releasing Be Nice in 1998, we put out Gods & Monsters. A Rock Opera in Three Acts in 2000. It is a story inspired by greed, jealousy and love about the super-hero Ben and his genetic super-powers. It is a satirical fantasy about what stupidity—coupled with power—can achieve and offers at least one reasonable solution to this sad world's problems.

 

 

 

 

Gods & Monsters on stage

In August 2000 we staged Gods & Monsters in Uppsala. Sold out shows and good reviews were fine rewards for all the hard work our ensemble of close to 30 people had put into the show over a period of many months virtually for free... And it was good fun besides!
     Right after this I left to live in Helsinki for almost a year and our plans for the follow-up had to be postponed a bit.

 

Freedom on CD this autumn

We are rather slow workers in this band, but now, a year and a half into the work, we have reached the final stage of working with Freedom.
    This time, Ruprecht himself is the story. After losing (well, killing, actually) Ornella and being sterilized by Ben, Ruprecht is once again set to weild his power as head of Greedpeace. But his conscience troubles him, so does his addiction to lattés. He is lost and needs to regain his footing on his path through life. Whatever... The point being that Ruprecht sets out on a quest to rebuild his morgaged soul and his cold heart, no less. It is this that is the core of Ruprecht's monologue FREEDOM.
