Bio:
After leaving SABATON, the ex. members spent some time off playing finding the glow from past years. Not long after the seed to what would become CIVIL WAR was born.
FINDING A SINGER...
After getting back on track the search after the missing links that would complete the line-up started. But how to find a suitable singer and frontman? Mullback had a certain Nils Patrik Johansson in mind knowing from his band ASTRAL DOORS that he is one of the most acclaimed singers around, not knowing that Patrik had his eyes out for the ex. SABATON guys...
RUMBLE IN THE DJUNGLE...
Rickard met "Pizza", their old backline tech at the local food store finding about the split up. Pizza told them to give him a call if they would need a bass player, sometime later that call was made and things started to roll.
LAUNCHING THE NEW BAND
The news about the new band CIVIL WAR hit the world on May 25th 2012, ironically the same date as the release of the ex SABATON guys last performance in that band, "Carolus Rex".
THE EP TAKING FORM
With all positions filled the work with getting songs together started in a unprecedented tempo. Before the summer ended the foundation for 4 tracks had been put down on tape.
ARRIVAL OF THE EP
Starting off in middle of October with releasing their first Single "Rome Is Falling" got them a jump start and an overwhelming reception. The EP was released in the middle of November 2012 and it was nervous times for the old warriors from Sabaton how fans from the previous band as well as new fans would welcome the 5 track beast that was launched at them. Fortunate people around the world seemed to embrace it and with and the reception from fans and media was beyond anyone’s expectations. With this the work with putting together a bunch of new songs for the upcoming full length album.
THE KILLER ANGELS
The first album have borrowed the name from the novel by Michael Shaara about the battle of Gettysburg. The album will be released on May 23 and will hit the world with full force. Following the release the band will do a streak of festival shows in their native Sweden and later on a tour spanning from the autumn covering most of the Swedish winter months. What is beyond that is left for the future to tell.
Album:
IVIL WAR — the Swedish metal band featuring former SABATON members Rikard Sundén (guitar), Daniel Mullback (drums) and Daniel Mÿhr (keyboards) alongside singer Patrik Johansson (ASTRAL DOORS, LION'S SHARE), and guitarist Petrus Granar — will release its third album, "The Last Full Measure", on November 4 via Napalm.Commented Johansson: "After 'The Killer Angels' and 'Gods & Generals', we are extremely proud and can't wait to share the last part of the trilogy! This is our best work so far, at least this is what we think, but I'm sure you won't be disappointed!"Asked if the SABATON connection has made it easier for CIVIL WAR to get tours and recognition in the metal scene, Johansson told Sound The Charge! web site: "Of course, this whole SABATON thing has made it easier for us to achieve fame. No doubt about that. On the other hand it is tough for us to convince the 'real' music fans that we actually are a good band since most of the real metal fans hate SABATON. So it's both good and bad."CIVIL WAR's sophomore album, "Gods And Generals", was released in May 2015 via Napalm Records.CIVIL WAR's debut CD, "The Killer Angels", was certified gold in Sweden by the International Federation Of The Phonographic Industry for sales in excess of 20,000 copies."The Killer Angels" was distributed in Sweden via the June 2013 issue of Sweden Rock Magazine and each copy of the magazine containing the CD was counted towards the certification; the album was also sold separately.
