Release:
I Hate Records 27.06.2025
Info:
Johan Langquist - Heavy Metal and Doom Metal pioneer with JONAH QUIZZ and CANDLEMASS - has created his own solo-entity in form of JOHAN LANGQUIST THE CASTLE.
Johan has worked together with a wide range of well-known Swedish musicians and the debut album evokes the magic feeling of classic 70s/80s Heavy Metal/Hard Rock/Doom. It comes in the vein of BLACK SABBATH (Tony Martin-era), DIO (solo and with Sabbath), RAINBOW and SAVATAGE with a touch of Doom added for good measure.
I Hate Records proudly announces the physical versions of the self-titled album for June 27th 2025. It was initially released digitally without a label in 2024.
JOHAN LANGQUIST THE CASTLE is not to be seen as a "studio project" - on the contrary a full line-up will soon take shape, and both live-shows and a second album are being worked on. But that is another story. Now enter the castle of dreams!

1. Eye Of Death 2. Castle Of My Dreams 3. Where Are The Heroes 4. Raw Energy 5. Revolution 6. Freedom 7. Bird Of Sadness
Line-up:
Johan Langquist - Vocals Erik Henriksson - Guitar / Keys (Session) Fredrik Isaksson - Bass Stafen Englin - Drums Emelie Lindquist - Soprano / Backing Vocals
