Track List:
Mikael Erlandsson needs no further introduction when it comes to melodic rock. He has released six successful solo albums and a lot of titles with bands like Phenomena & Salute among others. Between 2006 and 2018 Erlandsson fronted Swedish supergroup Secret Service which he toured with live all over the world. Together with the fantastic guitar player Andy Malecek from the successful German hard rock band Fair Warning, he founded the band Last Autumn's Dream in 2003 which also featured Ian Haugland, Mic Michaeli and John Leven of Europe fame at the time. The self-titled debut album was produced by Claes-Åke Andreasson and became a great success. Last Autumn's Dream went on releasing another 14 albums with different line-ups including great musicians like Jamie Borger (Treat) and Marcel Jacob (Talisman). They toured Japan, England and Germany, but decided to take a break in 2018. Shortly after, Erlandsson founded the group Autumn's Child. The self-titled debut album was released in January 2019 through AOR Heaven featuring Jona Tee on keyboards (H.e.a.t), Robban Bäck (former drummer of Eclipse and currently in the line-up with Swedish rock band Mustasch) & Claes Andreasson of Swedish westcoast/AOR band Heartbreak Radio (who also produced the first Autumn's Child album together with Mikael Erlandsson). Guitars come courtesy of Pontus Åkesson (Moon Safari). In 2020, the band released sophomore album "Angel's Gate". January 2022 sees Autumn's Child returning with album #3, "Zenith", this time via Pride & Joy Music, which once again features Mikael Erlandsson on vocals, keyboards & guitars, Pontus Åkesson on lead guitar, Robban Bäck on drums, Claes Andreasson on piano and Magnus Rosen on bass. Guests include Jona Tee with a keyboard solo on "Emergency", Sayit Dölen on rhythm guitar on "High On Love", Martin Olsson on bass on "Angel Of Danger", "Evangeline", "Love Is A Fighter" & "Nightingale", Anna-Mia Bonde on background vocals on "Emergency" and Roberth Nygren on acoustic guitar on "Heaven Can Wait". "Zenith" was produced by Erlandsson & Claes Andreasson, mixed and mastered by Mikael Andersson at Soundport Studios, Sweden. Drums were recorded by Mikael Andersson at Soundport Studios. The fantastic cover was designed by the great Eric Philippe.
