Welcome to Stark Music! WELCOME TO THIS FORUM DEDICATED TO SWEDISH HARD ROCK/METAL!!!! UP-DATED May 16, 2008: A while ago I launched a new MySpace site dedicated to the new encyclopedia. I will publish news, band entries etc continuously. I of course want to get in touch will ALL Swedish bands and ALL labels working with Swedish bands (which is why this is in English). Cheers! Encyclopedia My Space UP-DATED April 21, 2008: Hi all! Sorry it's been quiet on the Stark Music front. I've been quite occupied with all bands and projects, such as the new OVERDRIVE CD "Let The Metal Do The Talking", BALLS (new CD currently being recorded), CONSTANCIA (demoing) and all other musical and journalistic things going on with Sweden Rock Magazine, FUZZ and Metalcentral. My plan is to relaunch this site with more info on both books, all bands featured etc. Most important - I have now seriously started working on the next book. This time it will be "The Complete Encyclopedia of Swedish Hard Rock & Heavy Metal" - containing EVERYTHING! All bands from both books, updated and completed, plus everything I've missed, all that's been added etc. Therefore - If you have a band, a Swedish band, that has released a vinyl or CD (nope, CD-R doesn't count), please send me a promo copy (with cover), band photo, bio, hometown and info on webpage etc. I don't want to miss any bands out! Check this page as I will add a list with all bands featured so far. Mail me at: stark-at-starkmusic.net Thanks for all encouraging e-mails! I'll be back, soon! Janne
