Episode 70 – Mats Levén

Sunday, July 27, 2008  I  Interviews

Tags: , , , , , , , , , ,

Mats Levén, who doesn’t know or hasn’t heard of him? This Swedish vocalist has quite a curriculum vitae in the music business: Yngwie Malmsteen, At Vance, Therion, Krux, Abstrakt Algebra and many more. From Heavy to Doom, he can take it without worries. Next to these bands, Mats also contributed to many other releases as backing vocalist or as a guest vocalist, again for various musical styles. His latest input can be heard on the Israelian Progressive Metal band Amaseffer’s debut album, which came out in June this year. With this Special we wanted to show Mats in his different vocal shapes. Hail to this magnificent singer!

    The Khlysti Evangelist was the first Therion song I heard, and I really love it,
    but come on the intro “in Russian” is complete nonsense :mad: . He talks gibberish :lol:
    I’m always wondering – couldn’t the band get at least some fans to translate it properly. I’m sure they’d be uber happy to give some assistance :?:

    • Marcus : I would love to do that and been trying to, but it's a bit hard. Let's see if we get lucky this year and interview him. Down rules.
    • Guest_2253 : New Orleans special dedicated to lives lost in hurracane katrina. with headline band: DOWN
    • Guest_2253 : Interview Phil Anselmo if you get a chance. That would rock. :headbang
    • Guest_4364 : 8-)
    • Polina : Jhooon I didn't realise it was from you!!! :crack:
    • Marcus : :idea:
    • Mighty Jhon : Yeah Pantera m/ my recommendation on this episode :thumpsup thanks a lot guys, and fucking awesome episode aswell, :headbang
    • karsten : fixed :angel
    • Winterburner : Amazing episode however! Thanks!
    • Winterburner : Yay! My recommendation in the ep144! There's just a little spelling mistake in the band's name; it's missing an 'r'. So, ArthemesiA instead of AthemesiA.
    • karsten : :crack:
    • Marcus : :pissed
    • TechThing : @Winterburner: a coincidence, nothing more. :lol:
    • Winterburner : My favourite StS song featured in the latest episode! W00t
    • Scott Watson : True. I figured all of you wanted to stay away from the more popular bands, which is fine. I'm just not a big fan of extreme metal. That's all. Keep up the great work! This is the best metal show online! Andy, yes, I'm spreading the word!
    • TechThing : focus on Power and Prog on a next occasion, though. So much Metal out there, so many more episodes we can make. :-D
    • TechThing : Hi Scott, thanks for the feedback. Our aim was not to go for the obvious. :) It's actually a coincidence there's so much "extreme" Metal in the list, as we didn't know what the other was going to add. Plus, Finland has several very good bands and the Cast is a way to show there's more than the Stratos, Sonatas, Nightwishs, Moonsorrows, Korpiklaanis, Amorphises, Ensiferums, and so on. Besides, there has been plenty of Finnish Metal so far in our previous episodes (Specials and regulars). We might
