Roine Stolt – Unforgiven
Biography
Born in Uppsala, Sweden, on September 5, 1956, Roine Stolt started playing bass in the late ’60s in local rock cover bands. He quickly discovered the burgeoning British progressive rock scene and had switched to electric guitar by the summer of 1974 when, at age 17, he became the lead guitarist of the professional prog rock band Kaipa. This band recorded three albums for the Decca label (reissued on CD by Musea) and is still considered to be the most important Scandinavian prog act of the ’70s.
Stolt left Kaipa in 1979 to form his own group, Fantasia, who recorded two albums and disbanded in 1983 after a second, more commercially oriented LP for Warner. Stolt then started to work as a session musician and record producer, drifting away from symphonic rock esthetics, something very obvious on his Hall and Oates-like 1985 solo album, “Behind the Walls” (his first performance as a lead singer) and The Lonely Heartbeat, released in 1989 under the name Stolt.

I have absolutely no clue why Transatlantic is not included as a related band, as Stolt's influence is very, very clear on Bridge Across Forever (except for the title track which is all Morse.)

Stolt is one of those guys who isn't the best at anything but who is very good at everything. Probably the best modern intro to what he has done is in The Flower Kings albums Space Revolver and Back in the World of Adventures, but don't miss his work on Transatlantic's Bridge Across Forever or his The Flower King solo album or the TFK album Stardust We Are as well. Heck, definitely don't ignore the Transatlantic stuff, despite Morse being in the driver seat most of the time.

His voice seems to have changed a lot in the last 15-20 years but still great, The Tangent ftw!
