Narnia
Swedish hard rockers Narnia started as a more of a project
than a band, with the debut,
Awakening, recorded as a
duo featuring guitarist Carl Johan Grimmark playing all instruments and
Christian Liljegren singing.
They expanded to a proper five-piece shortly thereafter, and have
since released several similar albums, first in the neoclassical
melodic hard rock arena and later blending in power/progressive
undertones,
highlighted by Grimmark's
Yngwie Malmsteen-esque guitarwork
and the melodic vocals of Lilgegren,
likened by some to Don Dokken.
Some might be put off by the rather overt Christian lyrics, though there
are preachier bands out there.
Far from the heaviest band in existence, they were nonetheless
fine in the melodic hard rock field.
They broke up in 2010, but reformed four years later.
