308 views

In 2016 we see the release of a melodic rock masterpiece of the mastermind Torben Enevoldsen. Rob Moratti (Ex­Saga, Final Frontier), Steve Newman (Newman), Torben Lysholm (Pangea, Mysterell) and Albin Ljungqvist are once again sharing vocal duties, along with Andy Engberg (Sorcerer, Ex­220 Volt, Ex­Section A) and Mats Levén (Candlemass, Ex­Yngwie Malmsteen).

Speciel guests include Pontus Egberg (King Diamond), Peter Steincke (Fate), Anders Johansson (Ex­Hammerfall, Ex­Yngwie Malmsteen) and Johan Koleberg (Therion, Ex­Section A) Enevoldsen did the bass (except for two songs), the keyboards and guitars himself, as well as singing some lead­ and background vocals. Dennis Hansen (Fatal Force) did the drums (except for one song) and as always, the majority of the recordings took place at Torben's "Funny Farm Studios" in Denmark. This new album, entitled "Early Warning", was mixed and mastered at Funny Farm Studios by Torben Enevoldsen. Enevoldsen also produced the album. The idea for Acacia Avenue began back in 2008. Founding member, Torben Enevoldsen (Fate, Fatal Force, Section A), spent most of that year writing new material. Some of this new material came to be very melodic hard rock/AOR, and the idea of doing a full album in this style quickly emerged. In order to spice things up however, Enevoldsen decided to ask a few good friends of his to participate, both as singers, but also as co­writers.The debut album features Tony Mills (Ex­TNT, Shy), Geir Rönning (Radioactive), Torben Lysholm (Pangea, Mysterell) and Lars Säfsund (Work Of Art) on vocals. Torben did the bass, keyboards and guitars, as well as both lead and backing vocals on a few songs himself, and Thomas Heintzelmann (Decoy) did the drums. The self­entitled debut album was released on Lion Music in January 2010. This second album, entitled "Cold", was released on June 2014 through AOR Heaven and features vocal performances by Rob Moratti (Ex­Saga, Final Frontier), Steve Newman (Newman), Torben Lysholm (Pangea, Mysterell), Albin Ljungqvist, Mikael Roupé (Bamboo Brothers), Peter Sundell (Grand Illusion, Decoy) and Nicklas Sonne (Defecto, Section A).
