With "Goin'' Under" and "Shadowline" the Swedish band Black Trip had released two classic metal albums to great critical acclaim. When drummer Jonas Wikstrand was replaced by Anders Bentell, the band, now consisting of Joseph Tholl (vocals and bass), Peter Stjärnvind (guitar) and Linus Björklund (guitar), decided to make a fresh start by changing their name to Vojd. The name of Vojd''s first album is "The Outer Ocean". There is quite a big difference in sound, style and execution between Vojd and Black Trip. Vojd are much more classic rock than Black Trip ever were, and much less traditional heavy metal "Yeah, I think you''re right," says Joseph Tholl. "And I''m glad you say it sounds different from the previous ones, change and development is very important to me. Whether it''s more classic rock, I don''t know, but It''s something different from what we''ve done before. I take inspiration from anything that has good melodies, whether it''s Swedish pop or German thrash metal doesn''t matter." |
