Acacia Avenue is a very melodic hard rock/AOR band project, founded by guitarist and song writer, Torben Enevoldsen, back in 2008...The idea for Acacia Avenue began in 2008 when founder Torben Enevoldsen (eg Fate, Fatal Force) the most of the year thus spent writing new material. Some of the new material was so much influenced by the melodic hard rock / AOR to make a whole album in the style was not the thought away.On the selbstbetiteltem debut album (2010) was a guest vocalist Tony Mills (ex-TNT), Geir Ronning (Radioactive), Torben Lysholm (Pangea, Mysterell) and Lars Säfsund (Work Of Art) represented. Torben played the bass, the keyboard and the guitars both the lead vocals, as well as the backing vocals on some songs himself the drums took over Thomas Heintzelman (Decoy).Enevoldsen continued his work in various projects continued until he was asked by the Danish band Fate end of 2010 if he did not want to become a member. Although he was pretty busy with Fate he had never stopped writing their own material, so that the thought had never moved for a second Acacia Avenue album far away.New songs were written and the first singer was involved with Rob Moratti (ex-Saga, Final Frontier) also soon discovered. Aside from Rob can be found on the new album vocals by Steve Newman (Newman), Torben Lysholm (Pangea Mysterell), Albin Ljungqvist, Mikel Roupé (Bamboo Brothers), Peter Sundell (Grand Illusion) and Nicklas Sun (Defecto). Again Torben was responsible for the bass, keyboards and guitars, as well as for the backing vocals on a few tracks. With Dennis Hansen (Fatal Force), a new man is, however, behind the drums.
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 co-writers.The debut album featured Tony Mills (Ex-TNT, Shy), Geir Rönning (Radioactive), Torben Lysholm (Pangea, Mysterell) and Lars Säfsund (Work Of Art) on vocals. Torben played bass, keyboards and guitars, as well as both lead and backing vocals on a few songs and Thomas Heintzelmann (Decoy) did the drums. The self-entitled debut album was released on Lion Music back in January 2010.In January 2011, Torben joined the Danish hard rock band Fate, and although being busy with them, he continued working on various other projects, as well as releasing four albums in total so far with Acacia Avenue. After the release of ”Worlds Apart” (2018), Torben was busy working on his instrumental solo stuff, as well as writing and recording for Rob Moratti, Pinnacle Point, Decoy and Fate. In between these sessions however, Enevoldsen found the time to write new music for a fifth Acacia Avenue album.As usual, he asked a few good friends along for the ride, so this new album features Peer Johansson (Now Or Never, Fate), Peter Sundell (C.O.P., Decoy), Dagfinn Joensen (Bloody Dice), as well as the late, great Tony Mills (Shy, TNT) on vocals. Pete Steincke (Fate) split the bass duties with Enevoldsen, who also played the keyboards and guitars himself, as well as doing lead- and background vocals on a few songs. Dennis Hansen (Fatal Force) once again did the drums.The majority of the recordings, including the mix and mastering, took place at Torben's ”Funny Farm Studios” in Denmark. Enevoldsen mixed and mastered „Chapter V“ himself and he also produced the album.Date of release 29 May 2026.
