Escape Music will release the new Last Autumn's Dream studio album Hunting Shadows on February 22 across Europe.

Swedish/German Melodic Rock band Last Autumn's Dream have done it again and recorded another top class album that outshines all they have done previously.

The talented four-piece consisting of singer Mikael Erlandsson, axeman Andy Maleck and Talisman's rhythm section, Marcel Jacob and Jamie Borger have showed us they can write very good songs which are well structured and have huge potential.

Mikael Erlandsson is one of the best singer/songwriters in Sweden today with a successful career as a solo artist, especially in Europe and Japan. Andy Maleck, from the successful German Hard Rock band Fair Warning is a very talented guitarist, has a brilliant tone and a flair for putting guitar harmonies together. Marcel Jacob and Jamie Borger are something of the best bass/drums units you can find around.

The opening blast of “Strange Operation” is enough to make the hairs on the back of your neck stand to attention. This song has a powerful guitar chord backed with a punchy bass line before it breaks into great harmonies and a magical guitar solo from Andy. “My Alibi” is a pleasant tune which just runs effortlessly with its sing-along-chorus and powerful riffs. The ballad “I'm not supposed to love you anymore” is as good as it can possibility get, and has a “Journey” feel to it. The song “Lost in Moscow” could almost be something from a huge film soundtrack as it sounds that classy, it has all the elements to be the theme running through an action film. In fact there is not a weak song on the whole album. This is such a strong release, and songs like “War of the Worlds” and “Rainbow Sky” just take one listen before you are under the spell of Last Autumn's Dream.

As previously mentioned this is the band's fifth studio release and it is a tremendously talented piece of work from four guys that know how to write excellent songs. This should put them at the top of their field; it is such a great album. Last Autumn's Dream are ready to dominate the melodic rock market once again with this fantastic introduction to 2008.

Track List: Strange Operation / My Alibi / Overnight Sensation / I'm Not Supposed To Love You Anymore / War Of The Worlds / Rainbow Sky / R U Ready To Rock N' Roll / Every Beat Of My Heart / Serenity / Lost In Moscow / Save Our Love.

Line-Up: Mikael Erlandsson (Lead Vocals, keyboards), Andy Maleck (ex-Fair Warning; guitars), Marcel Jacob (Talisman; bass), Jamie Borger (Talisman; drums).

Swedish/German Melodic Rock band Last Autumn's Dream are ready to rock you with this exciting double album, the first of which is a recording live from the “United Forces of Rock” festival at Rockfabrik, Ludwigsburg. After four high class albums, the band knows how to make it up there to the top bands of the genre.

The talented four-piece consisting of singer Mikael Erlandsson, axeman Andy Maleck and Talisman's rhythm section, Marcel Jacob and Jamie Borger entertained a very enthusiastic audience with eight perfectly executed songs. The first three songs are straight from the latest studio album “Saturn Skyline” and it just shows how the band has matured since the first album. The audience are involved from the start backing up the impact these four guys make when they are on stage together. A really tight performance is the order of the day.

Mikael Erlandsson is one of the best singer/songwriters in Sweden today with a successful career as a solo artist, especially in Europe and Japan. Andy Maleck, from the successful German Hard Rock band Fair Warning is a very talented guitarist, has a brilliant tone and a flair for putting guitar harmonies together. Marcel Jacob and Jamie Borger are something of the best bass/drums units you can find around. This live performance reflects that bond as they turn out great melodic rock tunes one after the other, with plenty of help from the audience!!

If you asked to Marcel about his latest brazilian experience, he will answer something like: "the caipiroscas were damn good :-)."

If you want to know more details about this caipiroscas trip on Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, please read this new diary entry, here.

Here is a video shooted in Sao Paulo, Brazil from last saturday show: Back 2 the Feeling.

This is an intermediate diary entry, between the European dates and going to Brazil in a few weeks time. It was prompted by events that occurred while I was on tour with another band I (and Jamie) am involved with – Last Autumns Dream.

This entry is therefore divided in 2 parts, namely the Trip to Japan, and the WTF!.

The band Last Autumn's Dream is going to do a Japan tour between June 11 to June 15 with Masterplan. Here you can read a Marcel Jacob Blog post with details about the Tour. Read more.

We added Last Autumn's Dream's I Don't Want To Hurt You video taken from their album Winter In Paradise, released in 2005.
