Interview with Eyes Wide Open's Kristofer Strandberg:
Sweden is simply the kings of the metal world. There are so many bands coming out of this small country that it is hard to even categorize them into sub-genres. The nation has been a hotbed of late with their hard rock and glam sound. Death metal has run rampant there for decades. Power and traditional metal is just as relevant in Sweden as it is in Germany or England. Popularity and prosperity harvests new bands, those young and hungry acts that are vying for their part of the stage and limelight. Bands like Eyes Wide Open. The young group have released their debut album entitled "Aftermath". Fans of modern melodic metal acts like In Flames and Engel should find plenty to be excited about. The bands guitarist, Kristofer Strandberg, was kind enough to discuss the new album with Eric Compton of Maximum Metal and how 2014 shapes up for Eyes Wide Open.
