Hey Per… How’s it going? The first leg of the tour is over. What has the fans’ response to the new album been so far?
P: Hello there, all good here and so far so good I’d say. It was really cool to go out on a little tour again with Beggars and we’ve had lots of positive feedback on the new album.
What did you want to attain with “Earth Blues”? What did you have in mind when you started composing songs?

Ghost now renamed into Ghost BC, but essentially the same “spirit” even if their emeritus Pope, was upgraded to the second incarnation, continue their “trip” into goat knows what?! What is it that they set out to do in the first place anyway?! A relatively unknown bunch of hooded and masked fellas, led by a guy donning some Papal regalia, was surely going to raise a few eyebrows and cause a bit of public outcry, but I suppose with all the recent re-occurring scandals of the Catholic church rearing their ugly head once more, the timing wasn’t too right for a “Blasphemous-Charlatans hunt” hence them specters got off the hook, rather easily…
It’s not unlikely to happen upon a 70s “influenced” rock band these days… I would probably say that is more likely than it used to be in the past two decades. Certainly, none can blame these Swedish rockers for following a trend cuz’ when they started this band back in 1992, no one could have thought what it was going to be in the late 00s. So, the guys are back after 3 years and Apollo seems to have perfectly fitted the band’s philosophy no matter what.
One of the summer’s most interesting classic rock tours will showcase a pair of stellar UK bands – Nektar and Martin Turner’s Wishbone Ash – that have joined forces on the “Legends of U.K. Classic Rock” tour.
Both bands feature original founding members and each have decades-long histories of success in the worldwide touring markets, so seeing them together is sure to be a treat for concert-goers fortunate enough to catch one of the shows.
