Artist's Biography
Origins
& Formation
Lugnet was sparked in 2009 when drummer Fredrik Jansson-Punkka (also known
for Angel Witch, Witchcraft, Abramis Brama, and Count Raven) met bassist
Lennart "Z" Zethzon at Sweden Rock Festival.
The band officially formed in 2012, bringing in guitarists Bonden Jansson
and Mackan Holten, along with vocalist Roger Solander.
Musical Style
Their sound is steeped in the primal stomp of Deep Purple, the dark
sermonizing of Black Sabbath, and the cinematic grandeur of Rainbow.
Lugnet’s music is a high-voltage blend of ferocious guitar solos, thunderous
drums, and soaring vocals, often compared to the spirit of Led Zeppelin and
AC/DC..
Evolution & Lineup Changes
Vocalist Johan Fahlberg replaced Solander, bringing a soulful edge
reminiscent of Dio and Coverdale.
Guitarist Matti Norlin and later Micke Linder (formerly of Troubled Horse)
joined the band, contributing to a more dynamic and collaborative
songwriting process.
Live Presence
Lugnet made waves at Sweden Rock Festival 2018, packing out their tent even
while Ozzy Osbourne performed on the main stage.
If you’re craving gritty, adrenaline-pumping rock with a rebellious heart,
Lugnet is your band.
