Description

Chris Rosander is a 25-year-old musician and songwriter from Örnsköldsvik, Sweden who has been writing songs in the AOR/Melodic and West Coast genres since the age of 14. Christian's musical work includes artists and bands such as Michael Ruff, Paulo Mendonca, Frank Ådahl and X-Romance.

In March 2020, Rosander signed with the AOR Heaven record label and debuted his first album "King Of Hearts" that same year. Unable to play live shows at the time due to the pandemic, he began the writing process for a new album, which is now set for release on February 17, 2023 via Pride & Joy Music. The album was also written and produced by Chris Rosander.

In 2022 Chris Rosander was invited as a guest musician to a charity project for Ukraine called Save The Noise. He recorded vocals and guitar tracks for the song "Can't Take Freedom From Me", written by Filippa Nässil of Thundermother, along with musicians and artists such as Filippa Nässil and Emlee Johansson of Thundermother, Liv Sin (Ex Sister Sin), Martin Motnik (Accept), Snowy Shaw (Ex King Diamond), Chaq Mol (Dark Funeral), Pontus Snibb (Bonafide), Linnea Wikström (At The Movies, Fd Therion, Ronnie Atkins Band), Ross "The Boss" Freidman (MANOWAR, The Dictators), Søren Andersen (Chad Smith, Glenn Hughes, Marco Mendoza, Neil Murray, Ida Nielsen, Marcus Linnet, Simona Abdallah, Michael Gersdorff, Morten Hellborn) and Ida S (VA Rocks).

Chris Rosander says of the new album, "The Monster Inside - don't we all have a monster like that? I know I have one, and I think most of us, metaphorically speaking, have a monster inside of us, and that's what this work is about.

I started working on this album in August 2020, right after the release of my debut, King Of Hearts. All the songs were supposed to be recorded in December of the same year, but because of the pandemic we couldn't start until the end of August 2021. When I started writing, I didn't know it was going to be a concept album, but when I wrote the song Turn Your Heart To Stone, I found the idea of all the songs having the same theme quite intriguing.

It's not the kind of album where you follow the same storyline the whole time. 11 stories/songs about different people, each with a more twisted/darker side of themselves than the other, are on this album. Basically, this album is about different and absurd behaviors and the fact that we all have a side of ourselves that we'd rather not show anyone. The Monster Inside."
