Description
Big bang, space travels, black holes, singularity, aliens, stars colliding and the inevitable end of universe – the solo debut from the internationally praised metal singer Linnéa Vikström spans current science to the eternal, philosophical questions regarding the beginning, the end and life beyond our own planet.
As the singer for the Swedish symphonic metal phenomenon Therion, Linnea Vikström already has many fans around the world, but with her solo debut as QFT (quantum field theory) we get to meet a completely new side of the beloved singer. "Live In Space" is a dynamic and musically diversified theme album about the universe, ten tracks beautifully bound together by Linnéa's enormous vocal range and clear vision.
"When I wrote the album, I listened a lot to Black Sabbath, and that's something you can really trace on some of the tracks. Other tunes are just straight hard rock, while one track is inspired by Van Halen. I got and took inspiration from everywhere and nowhere. The album is a mash-up of all the influences and inspirations I've come across during my life. You can even find some Spice Girls there if you just look close enough." says Linnéa Vikström.
Under the supervision of legendary Swedish sound engineer Lennart Östlund (ABBA, Led Zeppelin etc.), "Live In Space" was recorded completely live (except for some additional choirs) with musicians Georg Härnsten Egg (drums), Jonathan Olsson (bass) and Mano Lewys (guitar), Linnéa Vikström.
"Live In Space" was probably not what you expected from Linnéa Vikström. But when the singer from Therion makes her solo debut as QFT, with an album wrapped in Lennart Östlund's marvelous vintage sound, she crushes every border and totally exceeds every expectation.
