A Swedish four-piece called Silver Mountain were mainstays of Nordic metal in the Eighties. The musical brilliance of guitarist Jonas Hansson, keyboardist Jens Johansson, drummer Anders Johansson and bassist Per Stadin became legendary and paved the way for an avalanche of bands in the dark metal movement. Breakin' Chains is the ultimate tribute CD! Not to the band (the musician's reputation and current successes take care of that) but to the many fans around the globe hungry for nostalgia, days when heavy metal wasn't labeled and categorized. Each band member took time away from their current projects to put this CD together for their old fans and a new generation alike. These are brand new recordings of some old favorites and some old rarities! Originally written for the band's earliest demos, this album is full of hook-filled songs, recorded in Sweden, New York and Los Angeles with the classic, legendary lineup. It's an album that bristles with high energy and excitement! Songs that hammer intense melodies and earthshaking riffs into your head; all the songs leave you breathless, exhausted but happy, just like they did twenty years ago. In addition, Breakin' Chains is an Enhanced CD, and features the videos Prophet Of Doom (Silver Mountain) and Classica (Jonas Hansson). Neo-Classical Metal/Heavy Metal, total running time, 53:12 - Silver Mountain @ iTunes!
