Biography

Christian Liljegren, known for his work in Narnia and Divinefire, started up Audiovision in 2003 as his solo project. The first album, The Calling, was released in late 2004 in Europe and Japan, produced by Lars Chriss (Lion's Share, Road To Ruin). The guest list on the album was impressive, featuring Bruce Kulick (KISS, Grand Funk Railroad), Jeff Scott Soto (W.E.T., Talisman, Yngwie Malmsteen, Journey), Mic Michaeli (Europe), Tony Franklin (Blur Murder, Whitesnake, and Mats Levén (Treat, At Vance, Krux, Yngwie Malmsteen), among others.

After the release of The Calling the demand for more Audiovision grew stronger, also many show offers started to come in. In 2009 Christian decided to form a full touring and recording band, and to end Audiovision as a studio project.

During 2009 the first shows were played in Sweden, Norway and Germany, and in the summer Audiovision started to record their second album, Focus, with producer Erik Mårtensson (W.E.T., Eclipse) overseeing the work. After a few months of intense recordings as well as the crystal clear mastering thanks to Micke Lind (Dio, Candlemass, Talisman), the album was finished in December 2009.

In January 2010 Audiovision joined Stryper on the European leg of their 25th anniversary tour, and played shows in both Germany and Sweden.
