Hi Agnes!

True it At Vance good too, I like it also:)
Agnes, You know it very much Mats discography
I was looking it for already internet 2004 of Sabbtail album, but I did not find it yet:(

I THINK IT EVERYBODY KNOWS ,THAT Johann Niemann is (the bass player) was playing in other bands.( Mind's Eye, Demonoid,Afterglow etc.)
I heard some song Demonoid and Mind's Eye from an album, those very good! 
Agnes, you know JOHAN NIEMANN discography???
I would be glad it about very much!!!!:)

Thank you in anticipation:)

[The One]

As far as I know, Johan Niemann appears in Demonoid's "Riders of the Apocalypse", as well as their upcoming album; also in all Mind's Eye albums, and he has joined a new band called Murder My Sweet. (Not of my liking)
He has also played as guest bassist in an Opeth concert recently.

[angel]

" Riders of the Apocalypse" from an album I listened only two song, I like those:) When this is an album?
New album upcoming? entirely surprising. And when?

I can not conceive a what kind of band may Murder My Sweet!!!:( I was not audible from them, I do not know it what kind of music is played:(
Murder My Sweet band will not be recently their album?
Poor Johan, may be attained the deep dot of his career now?

I say thank you for the informations

[The One]

Murder My Sweet... In case you wanna listen to them, seacrh them out through MySpace.

[Agnes]

    * Mind's Eye
    * Therion
    * Demonoid
    * Afterglow
    * Chris Catena
    * Hubi Meisel
    * Frasse Haraldsen

    * Novak
    * Tears of Anger
    * The Murder Of My Sweet

ps. I have a permission to play Mind's Eye in my radio show

He did a good job for Krux - he was a good completing element for furious and brilliant musicians (Jurgen, Leif, Peter I hail thee) 

Too bad he did a statement that he is only a session musician and he will never be a part of the band...

[MissSwan]

that's not exactly true... Mats is a member of Krux, everything they will record will have him on vocals... the band has been formed by Leif around himself and Mats... Leif is very appreciative of his vocals, their collaboration having started with Abstrakt Algebra back in 95... there's going to be a new Krux album recorded most likely next year... oh yeah and Mats does all the Candlemass demoing too (not just vocals)... King of the Grey Islands was recorded entirely with his vocals before they found their new singer, so that they could show a demo to the record company... I'd do mostly anything to get my hands on that recording

i've listened to all the albums he was lead on, my favourites (beside Therion obviously) being: Krux, Abstrakt Algebra and Fatal Force. there's going to be a new FF album probably next year btw. I'm extremely excited about that. I've also liked quite a lot Sabbtail, Southpaw and Amaseffer. At Vance I used to rave about after I first discovered Mats back in 2005, it was I think his first project beside Therion that I listened to... but I got pretty tired of them after a while... the music is a bit too generic... The Evil In You is quite some classes above Chained though... there are some songs though on those 2 albums that quite stand out and are very good like The Curtain Will Fall, The Evil In You and Chained

@Agnes: you copied the discography from my Wikipedia article on Mats haha

oh and here is something really unique that Mats has done with a british band:  http://www.myspace.com/londonfarbelow --- listen to the song She Walks in Beauty (duet between Mats and Henrik Loman)... the lyrics are of course Lord Byron's poem... i was completely shocked when I listened to this since it's my favourite poem by my favourite poet and hearing Mats singing it is more than could have ever crossed my mind
also here: http://www.myspace.com/jupitersociety ---  you can listen to Carl Westholm from Krux's project Jupiter Society... Mats sings on Cold, Rigid & Remote and Solitude Unites Us (where he also drums )

[Luth]

Hi everybody!

I discovered  Amaseffer "Salves For Life"  an album, into which Mats Leven sings 
Who likes the Oriental musics or only Mats Leven I recommend it,  let him listen to Salves for Life album )
Mats sings on a wunderful sound here also:)

[Luth]

I will try...
