Mats Levén - Launches New Band
Frontiers Music Srl has announced the signing of ReVertigo, the Stockholm, Sweden-based duo of Candlemass singer Mats Levén (vocals) and Anders Wikström (guitar). Their debut album will be released in early 2018. As close personal and musical friends for nearly thirty years, ReVertigo is the next chapter in an ongoing collaboration between the two culminating with their new album.

Anders says: "Mats and I always had an idea of creating something that would celebrate the fact that we really enjoy working together, but with busy separate music careers, it wasn't until 2016, we sat down and concentrated on new songs with a firm plan."
Adds Mats: "The fact that we, besides writing for other international artists, hadn't done a proper album together in twenty-five years also gave the writing and recording process of ReVertigo a purpose."
The band's debut album will be released worldwide in early 2018, with multiple singles and videos preceding the release of the full-length. All the instruments on the album are played by Mats and Anders, except for the drums, which were performed by their dear friend Thomas Broman (Great King Rat, Michael Schenker Group, Electric Boys).

He is/was in Opera Diabolicus and has singed in a whole bunch of other bands http://metalstorm.net/bands/bandmember.php?member_id=412 like Yngwie Malmsteem, Therion, At Vance. I think this new band with Anders will have very good music.
