HÅRDROCKSMAKT
SHORT BIO: Hårdrocksmakt was formed by the guys in Man Machine Industry plus an old friend from Lingua/Come Sleep.

Here it’s all about having fun with music, follow the groove, make it energetic and ”easy going” and don’t be afraid to use clishés. It’s all about the ROCK and the ROLL! This is what happen when you cross AC/DC and MOTÖRHEAD with a dash of Metallica’s debute album ”Kill’Em All” and you top it off with lyrics in Swedish. Pure, energetic, chaotic and down to earth rock’n’metal!
STYLE: Hard hitting hard rock with attitude and unconditional power and groove.

Original artis
JOHN STONE 68
SHORT BIO: John (Jhonny) and Ken (Kennet) was both born in 1968, and therefor this studio project is namned JOHN STONE 68. The two started playing allready in 1982 and have stayed friends since then even if they haven’t played togeather all that time. Back in 2018 the two creating music together again and then and there the idea of having a studio project came too. The result was a full lenght album yet to be released.
STYLE: The style of music for this project has no boundries. The first album called ”JS68; MARK I.” goes in the style of classic heavy rock inspired by their personal musical heroes they grew up listening to such as LED ZEPPELIN, BLACK SABBATH, MONTROSE and DEEP PURPLE. The influences are very clear in the albums sound but the next album might be something completley different.
RELEASES: ”JS68; MARK I”, Upcoming debute album in 2026/2027.
GUEST MUSICIANS: The idea is to invite different guests on the albums and on this first album ”JS68; MARK I” the eminent guests is TOBIAS JANSSON from SAFFIRE / GATHERING OF KINGS on vocals. Tobias has that old rock soul which was proven to be the perfect choise to this album. On lead guitar tracking solos for the album the choise came to be KENNETH JOHANSSON from the band STARCHASER and ex. Tad Morose. His style of solo fit the project perfectly with harmonic melodies combined with a blusey tone and speed.
MEMBERS: Jhonny Bergman – Drums, Guitar, Bass, Producer and main songwriter. Kennet Sten – Guitar, Bass, Producer and main songwriter.
FUN FACTS: Johnny and Ken started playing together back in 1982. Both of the two had MOTÖRHEAD as a huge insperation but while Johnny found thrash metal through Motörhead Kennet found Rock’a’Billy through Motörhead and they went separate ways in their musicianship to return to eachother as late as 2015.
Original artist
REIGNSAW
SHORT BIO: Was formed by members of Man Machine Industry, Mezzrow, Sparzanza, Carnal Forge and, at the time, Sorcerer. The aim was to make a concept album in the style of old school Bay Area thrash metal with a modern touch. J.B (producer/songwriter/bass player, had the idea to make it into a concept album and everyone thought it was a cool idea. Little did they know how much work would have to be put in to make this happen. But finally, after almost two years of hard work the album was released by GMR Music (Crucified Barbara, Ice Age, Tyranex). REIGNSAW was/is more of a studio project than a band even though they in the begining hoped for more. They never called it quits but has been put aside for all members to focus on their prioritized bands.
STYLE: Bay Earea Thrash Metal, The second wave.
RELEASES: ”Reignsaw” CD/Vinyl 2017. ”Reignsaw: A Weapon Of Choise” Book 2017.
CONCEPT STORY: The main character of the story is called Reginald J. Sawyer, aka Reggie/Reignsaw. He is brought up by a loving mother and a violent and abusive father who’s captain in the US Army. When Reggie grown up he follows his fathers footstep not knowing that his years of abuse have set his mind on a way darker path than he would admit. His life turns at a secret mission for the military and he snaps. His life changes from there on. Searching for vengeance on all that is injust with no empathy for colateral damages. The boy who became a man, who became a soldier, who became a monster. His name is REIGNSAW!
MEMBERS: Fredrik Weileby – Vocals, Magnus Söderman – Lead guitar, Petri Kuusisto Lead guitar, J. Bergman – Bass, Richard Evensand – Drums
FUN FACTS: Back up vocals on this album is partly done by Ulf Pettersson of legendary thrash band MEZZROW and ROSICRUCIAN. The album is mastered by AOR producer Eric Mårtensson (Eclipse, W.E.T).
Tribute artist

Bergman desided to celibrate their begining as musicians by forming a tribute band to the four bigest, badest and coolest heavy metal bands from the UK back in the early 80s. We are of cause talking about IRON MAIDEN, JUDAS PRIEST, MOTÖRHEAD and SAXON! To join them on this journey they asked another old friend they grew up with, bass player David Ottosson (Blue Mud Riders). They also asked drummer Nicholas Podolski (Hårdrocksmakt) to join and together with power house vocalist Silviu Lucaci from Transylvania, Rumania the five was fully formed and the chosen name was to be the BIG-4 FOUNDERS OF NEW WAVE OF BRITISH HEAVY METAL!
STYLE: Iron Maiden, Judast Priest, Motörhead and Saxon material from 1976 to 1986.
LIVE SHOW: The band is well known for their big show having TWO versions of the Iron Maiden mascot EDDIE on stage as well as the Motörhead mascot WARPIG shooting his confetti canon and Eddie waveing his Killers axe. The show it self is filled to the rim with happenings that makes the nostalgia rise like crazy in the blood of the viewer. When the stage has room for it, the band even rides a MOTORCYCLE up on stage like Rob Halford of Judas Priest.
MEMBERS: Silviu Lucaci – Vocals, Nicholas Podolski – Drums, David Ottosson – Bass, J. Bergman – Lead guitar, Ken Stone – Lead guitar, Michael Siegrist – Piece Of Mind Eddie, Killers Eddie and Warpig.
