Astral Doors

Astral Doors album "Jerusalem" shows the band at its very, very best. With world famous producer Daniel Bergstrand behind the mixingboard, their classic rock/ heavy metal is brought<br/>to new dimensions. "Jerusalem" is by far the best album so far from Astral Doors and the concept of the lyrics is darker, more political and more provocative than ever before in the history of the band. The amazing cover artwork has once again been done by Mattias Eriksson who also did "Of the Son and the Father" and "Testament of Rock".

Det legendariska Borlängebandets mest melodiska album hittills. Sedan debuten 2003 har bandet förvaltat arvet från Rainbow, Dio och Black Sabbath väl med sin egna moderna tvist.

Since the debut "Of the Son and the Father" in 2003 the Astral Doors carried the spirit of the old heroes like Rainbow, Dio, Black Sabbath and Deep Purple into our time. In 2004 the band performed at Wacken Open Air and Sweden Rock Festival gaining an impressive number of new fans. Successful tours with Grave Digger and Blind Guardian followed in the next years and let the Astral Doors star rising more and more. With "New Revelation", released September 2007, the band climbed on the charts for the first time. After the release of "New Revelation", the band went out on their first big European tour as headliners. It was a blast ending with a triumphal return to Sweden Rock Festival for a smoking appearance. After a line-up change and the signing with the German label Metalville in 2010 the Astral Doors came back stronger than ever. Two great new albums "Requiem Of Time" and "Jerusalem" plus the best of compilation "Testament Of Rock", attended by awesome live performances all over Europe followed. <br/><br/>"Notes From The Shadows" is the next big step in the band's career and sure not the last.<br/><br/>Formed in Borlänge in 2002, accomplished the all but accomplishable: delighting Power Metal fans and traditionalists alike. Simultaneously, the sound's unmistakable kinship to Dio-fronted Rainbow and Dio/Martin-fronted Black Sabbath earned Astral Doors momentum with old-school metalheads who frowned at the perceived blandness and lack of substance in the Power Metal genre. <br/><br/>The debut "Of the Son and the Father" arrived in 2003 to immense critical fanfare, although the crucified priests on the cover succumbed to censorship in Japan where the album was also rechristened (!) "Cloudbreaker". In the following years, Astral Doors shrewdly made it impossible for the audience to forget them by bombarding said audience with new releases, one more breathtaking than the other: "Evil Is Forever" (2005), "Raiders of the Ark EP" (2005) and "Astralism" (2006). The band also performed at the perennial Wacken and Sweden Rock Festivals, and did tours with Grave Digger and Blind Guardian - the latter with particular success. Jerusalem ( 2011) was the best album of the band so far and was followed by a very successful club tour in spring 2012.

Astral Doors are back! The album "Black Eyed Children" shows the band at its very, very best. This is classic rock/heavy metal in the next dimension. "Black Eyed Children" is by far the best album so far from Astral Doors and tops the already great previous albums "Notes From The Shadows" and "Jerusalem". This time the cover artwork has been done by Felipe Machado, who did the last Blind Guardian cover art.
