  • Description

    Fundamental to the birth of classically inspired symphonic hard rock and heavy metal, a scene that also gave the world Yngwie J. Malmsteen and Europe, they evolved around lead guitarist Jonas Hansson.

    Although their vinyl debut was 1979 single Man Of No Present Existence b/w Axeman And The Virgin, they wouldn't record a full length LP until the highly influential, cult debut Shakin' Brains in 1983, featuring future Yngwie members Jens and Anders Johansson, followed by Universe (1984), eventually releasing Roses & Champagne in 1988.

    Although effectively splitting up after the release of Roses & Champagne , the band reunited their classic Shakin' Brains line-up of Jonas Hansson (Guitars & Vocals), Jens Johansson (Keyboards), Per Stadin (Bass) and Anders Johansson (Drums) for 2001's acclaimed reunion CD, Breakin Chains.

    As well as revisiting debut 45 Man Of No Present Existence and Axeman And The Virgin, this version includes the previously Japan only bonus track, Resurrection. This reissue includes live bonus tracks recorded September 4th, 2010 at Friluftsteatern, Malm, Sweden, and appear on CD for the first time, including otherwise unavailable versions of Shakin' Brains, Maniac and Universe.
