Twelve years after the
release of their previous album "II" Progressive
rock act CONDITION RED returns with a new lineup, new sound and their
most daring work to date, a full concept album about a non fictional
subject affecting us all. The band has at this time chosen not to
reveal what it's all about but rather let the fantasy of the listeners
decide.
CONDITION RED was founded
in 1999 by Lars Eric Mattsson and the self titled debut album released
in 2000 featured musicians such as: Lars Eric Mattsson (Guitar+Bass),
Alex Masi (Guitar), Derek
Sherinian (Key solos) Ella Grussner (Vox) Torgny Stjärnfelt (Vox) Esa
Pietilä (Sax), Alexander King (Keys), Eddie Sledgehammer (Drums), Örjan
Sjöström (B
Vox). The music was daring and complex crossing borders and avoiding
any clichee's whatsoever.
Album no. 2 "II" was released in 2003 and this time drummer Gerald
Kloos had joined the band while singer Ella Grussner handled all the
vocal duties. The songs were shorter and more focused than on the debut
album but nevertheless interesting and highly original.
After a twelve year long break the band returned with a new line up and
sound on the 2015 single Tomorrow Never Knows (a Beatles cover). It's
not the first cover for Condition Red who previously have covered Deep
Purple's "Black Night", Jimi Hendrix' "Villanova Junction", the
Yardbird's/Rainbow's "Still I'm Sad" on previously released compilation
albums released by Lion Music in 2004.
And now it's time for the real come back with the band's definitive
concept album "Illusion of Truth". A Daring and challenging project in
every way.
