Swedish Metal Band Narnia Detail New Album ‘Ghost Town’

Twenty-seven years into a career that continues to grow, Swedish metal band Narnia takes huge steps into an exciting chapter with the new album Ghost Town. The seasoned five-some once again shows how to shape a masterpiece with this melodic metal future classic.

On the ninth studio album, Ghost Town, Narnia has picked the icing on the cake from its vast catalogue. You can’t simply label this album a neoclassic metal album or a power metal album, even though these elements are present. Some parts are progressive, modern, heavy, or just creatively different. But you can summarize by saying this is a well-crafted piece of classic and melodic metal.

The title track, “Ghost Town,” was first introduced to the cheering live audience at Sweden Rock Festival 2022 and is now an obvious part of the setlist with its bombastic four-on-the-floor pulse and sing-along chorus. The heartbeat of Narnia, Andreas “Habo” Johansson, does a tremendous job behind the drums and spares no energy.

Ghost Town is produced by CJ Grimmark, mixed by the band’s sound engineer Viktor Stenquist, and mastered by Thomas Piec Johansson. It will be available on all digital platforms, CD, and vinyl on March 10th, 2023, in collaboration with Sound Pollution Distribution.
