In a world where legends are born and music echoes through time and space, Cryonic Temple is ready to embark on a new chapter. With epic anthems like "Eternal Flames of Metal," "Swords and Diamonds," and "End of Days," the Swedish power metal band has enchanted fans for three decades. Now, as they approach their 30th anniversary, they are prepared to break barriers once again and take their music to new heights.
As the band enters this celebratory era, a storm of change has arrived. Vocalist Mattias Lilja, the true heart of Cryonic Temple, has decided to take a step back to focus on his family and personal musical adventures. His decision has been met with respect and admiration, and the band wishes to express their gratitude for his unforgettable contributions and all the magical moments they have created together. No hard feelings here – just a collective tribute to what has been!
But in this tale of change, there is also hope! Guitarist Markus Grundström is now stepping up as the new vocalist, ready to lead fans into a new era of powerful riffs and majestic melodies. To further strengthen the band, they have also welcomed Thomas Eriksson as the new guitarist – a virtuoso whose talent promises to carry Cryonic Temple's legacy forward.
"We are fully charged and ready to conquer the stage with the same passion and energy as always!” the band stated in a joint announcement. “This is just the beginning of an amazing journey!” - Markus Grundstrom
Mark your calendars! Cryonic Temple will make their first appearance with the new lineup at Rockkwälln in Dala Floda on August 8. Don’t miss the chance to see this legendary band take the stage.
