Biography
But hey; perhaps you want to know more about Astral Doors?! Don’t worry; below you can read the full biography
In early 2002, Swedish guitarist Joachim Nordlund, drummer Johan Lindstedt and singer Nils Patrik Johansson teamed up and decided to write some metal songs in the spirit of the old heroes Rainbow, Dio, Black Sabbath and Deep Purple. They completed the band with organ player Jocke Roberg and with Martin Haglund on the bass.
They recorded their debut-album (mixed by Peter Tägtgren at Abyss Studio) and began working with Danish based metal-agency Intromental Management. Deals were locked down for “Of The Son And The Father”. The band caught immense media attention, with fantastic reviews everywhere, and various festivals were not late to book ASTRAL DOORS.(now with Martin Haglund as the second guitarist and with Mika Itaranta on the bass) The band performed at Wacken Open Air, Sweden Rock Festival and 2000 Decibel during the summer of 2004, gaining an impressive number of new fans.
Not resting on the laurels of their success, ASTRAL DOORS finalized their 2nd opus “Evil Is Forever” very quickly and the album was released by the same labels as the debut album. The release, which once again received amazing media and fan support, was followed by an extensive European tour as support act to German metal-gods Grave Digger, as well as several festival gigs in Sweden, and not to forget a successful gig in Germany with the hard rock princess herself, Doro Pesch.

I hope they won't ever play DIO or Black Sabbath (DIO period) covers. If they will, they will sound awful and disgusting.

@orangexlemon Don't you want to hear more of something you like very much? It's a good thing that Astral Doors give us more of Dio. Especially now, when he can't give us anything anymore, It's up to others to do that!

The new album (Jerusalem) is quite good, but for me and this way will remain best Requiem Of Time :) As if somewhere I could already hear it.... Dio, Jorn :) !!
