Imagine Meat Loaf, Bon Jovi, Bruce Springsteen, Journey & Queen mixing up a stadium rock cocktail – and then spiking it with a shot of Swedish melancholy. That’s the sound of Peterified!

Peterified is the creative vision of singer-songwriter Peter Johansson (formerly of Magasin 99 and Amber Lynxx). Teaming up with childhood friends Mikael Johansson (ex-Magasin 99, Free Alloy) and Mattias Ingvarson (ex-Poker), he has brought to life Trial By Fire, a dynamic fusion of heartfelt songwriting and the power of Arena rock. The lineup is completed by bassist Johan Wallerstedt (Fornfela, among others) and drummer Anton Roos (ex-Seventh Crystal, ex-Saffire), delivering a sound as passionate as it is powerful.

The album is produced and mixed by Victor Olsson (Saffire, Gathering Of Kings), and mastered by none other than Grammy-winning, multi-platinum engineer Thomas “Plec” Johansson (Nestor, The Night Flight Orchestra, Gathering Of Kings, Perfect Plan, The Gems, Soilwork, Evergrey, and more).

Peterified shines a light on Mölndal, the picturesque former mill town just south of Gothenburg, Sweden. From the neighborhoods of Kikås and Kvarnbyn to the roaring waterfalls at Götafors, the stately Gunnebo Castle, and lakeside party havens like Horsikan and Södra Långevattnet, these places form the vivid emotional backdrop to Trial By Fire, a coming-of-age soundtrack filled with big guitars and even bigger choruses.
