H.E.A.T – Feel The Hard Rock Heat!
- How did you decide to record a live album, do you feel that it was the right time to do it?
There’s been a demand from our fans for a long time to release a live DVD and since Sweden Rock is the optimal venue to record a show, we decided to give a try.
- Where and when did you record the album?
At Sweden Rock Festival last year (2018). - How did you approach the live album from a production perspective, any studio overdubs used?
Basically everything is live. Of course we’ve made some adjustments when mixing to make it sound even better but the vocals are 100% live. - Do you prefer studio recordings or live recordings and why?
I prefer playing live because I’m an adrenaline junkie. - Is touring the main driving force behind the funding of the modern music industry?
For artists, pretty much but it of course depends on your level of success. - How do you adjust yourself to the current business model of the music industry?
You just adapt or die according to true Darwinism. - Which is your next studio move after the album “Into The Great Unknown’?
We are already recording a new album which will be released early 2020. First single will be out this fall.
- Is Per Erik Magnus Grönwall preparing any solo material as well?
Not at the moment. He’s currently busy building other careers as a manager at Hagenburg. - In December 2009, Eric won the Swedish Idol television competition. What is your opinion about the TV shows such as “Idol” or other TV series relevant to music contests?
I think it’s great as long as you have a plan on how to build after the show is over. That’s when the real challenge starts. - What is the current situation for hard rock music in Sweden, is this music genre still popular?
Pretty much but I would say it’s pretty much the same all over Europe.
