Episode 4: Tungsten's Karl Johannson (Power Metal)

from The Distorted Dialogue Podcast · host Metal Institute of Thrashology

A conversation with bassist Karl Johannson from the Swedish Power metal band TUNGSTEN! We discuss the upcoming album The Grand Inferno, the released singles from The Grand Inferno, touring to support the album and more! While I thought Tungsten was a straightforward Power metal band, but there is moments of death metal, thrash metal and more, giving them a unique sound. Being in the band with his brother and father can make for some great, but also frustrating times, and Karl explains how this unique family environment influences the dynamics of the band. We discuss what it is like on the road together, how each others influence the sound, and how each of them found their own instruments. With such powerful singles leading the release of the album, it's sure going to be heavy, and being on Reigning Phoenix Music, you know it's going to be quality! Check out Tungsten and check out this episode too!
