SILVER MOUNTAIN – universe LP black

Formed by guitarist Jonas Hansson as the 1970s ended in the coastal metropolis of Malmö, Sweden’s SILVER MOUNTAIN swiftly immersed themselves into the rich history of their native country’s hard rock. They promptly released a powerful and now extremely rare single “Man Of No Existence”, soon followed by a twelve-song demo. Jonas however, quickly realized the need to assemble the highest caliber of talent to help him fulfil his spellbinding musical vision. Eventually, he recruited brothers Anders and Jens Johansson – drums and keyboards, respectively, and who later gained further acclaim with Swedish guitar hero Yngwie Malmsteen – as well as bassist Per Stadin. While the band’s sound was indebted to the Dio-fronted era of Rainbow, Silver Mountain triumphed by adding a more contemporary and vibrant edge with their individual virtuosity and wide range of unbelievable musical talent. Together, they fused their influences into a tight unit to record the debut album Shakin’ Brains. “I was always searching for that extra kick-ass music…found some of it…the rest I had to create myself,” Jonas contends. But the journey did not end here!
