After a almost 6 years hiatus, Grand Illusion, the brilliant Swedish melodic rockers, will be finally back soon with their brand-new album “Brand New World”. As of early February 2010, they just finished the mastering. Stronger than ever before. Anders Rydholm, Peter Sundell and Per Svensson has decided to give Grand Illusion life again. During the 2009 the boys have been working hard with there comeback album, Brand New World. Brand New Album Late in the authumn of 2008, during the recording of Demon Kogure's, Girls Rock Tiara, Anders and Peter started to talk about recording some songs to see if the magic still was there. Anders at once started to write new material with the help of lyricist, Arlene Matza-Jackson. In February 2009 the recordings started and both Anders and Peter was pretty happy with the result so they decided to bring in Per to help out with background vocals. It not only sounded great they also had a lot of fun so they continued to write more material and soon they had 17 new songs. In April 2009 Anders flew to Los Angeles to record drums with Gregg Bissonette in WoodCliff Studios, Sherman Oaks. During two intense days Anders, Gregg and engineer Frank Rosato recorded the drums and the foundation for the new Grand Illusion. This is the 5th album Anders and Gregg have done together. Tim Pierce was booked for a guitar session two days later. One of the most busy and best studio guitarists in the world, not to mention a big guitar hero and inspiration for the Grand illusion members. The recording session with Tim went great and Tim has helped us with 7 guitar solos for this album.
During the whole of 2009 Anders, Peter and Per has been working hard to create an album that feels like a true Grand Illusion album. Great hooks, tasty guitars and massive vocals. Everything put together in there own unqiue over-the-top Grand Illusion style. The album will be released during 2010 in Europe through Metal Heaven and in Asia through Marquee/Avalon, Japan.
