Ring

Inspired with the functions of J.R.R. Tolkien, Swedish rock veterans Jakob Samuel (vocals, drums & keyboards), Pontus Norgren (guitars, bass & keyboards), and Marcus Jidell (guitars, bass & keyboards) made a decision to get together in a fresh project that they called, fittingly, Band. And making use of their epic debut record, Stories From Midgard, in 2004, they kept nothing when it found conjuring the type of dungeons & dragons-themed illusion metal similar to elder statesmen like Dio, Armored Saint and Rainbow.
