About Johnny Engstrom Band

Swedish based progressive hard rock/metal band Johnny Engstrom Band has recently released it's third cd 'Magnetic Force' on Alienation Records. The Chicago born (but raised in Karlskoga, Sweden) guitarist, vocalist and songwriter Johnny Engstrom formed his band in 2008 (just before the release of the debut cd 'Analyse My Dream'). The band's second cd 'From Birth To Chaos' dropped in 2009, and marked a big improvement in the band's songwriting and production skills.

On the new 2011 release 'Magnetic Force' Engstrom and his band have created a powerful Progressive Rock/Metal hybrid that brings to mind groups such as Dream Theater, Rush, Saga and Evergrey. Lyrically this a "concept" album dealing with UFOs, alien abductions and 'X-Files'-type themes. Dark, heavy and menacing (but still very melodic). A must for any fan of modern progressive music. The cd is now available through Wishing Well Entertainment ((expired link)) and (expired link)
