Mats Karlsson - Mood Elevator (CD)

Second solo album by 220 VOLT guitarist MATS KARLSSON (g/b/v). After the 2019 "The Time Optimist" it's a broader variety style-wise which can be found on "Mood Elevator". There are hard rock elements in some songs next to some melodic metal influences as well as almost AOR-ish hooklines. Several guest musicians like Ferdy Doernberg (keys, AXEL RUDI PELL), Björn Englen  (b, YNGWIE MALMSTEEN) or Mike Klemmé (v, THE SUMMIT) contribute their talents here. A very exciting record "Mood Elevator" is by the Swede, in many respects. Well-produced, multi-layered musically and equipped with a beautiful artwork, too.
