WATCHER 2.0 IS HERE – Now as a four-piece force
A look into the crystal predicted a new era of WATCHER and now is the time for the new chapter to unfold. CHAINS OF CRYSTAL will be released in May 2025.
From a one-man army driven by singer and songwriter Viktor Gustavsson (ex-Lethal Steel), Watcher is now ready to take on the world as a four-piece force. The EP “Chains of Crystal” is the first release under the new constellation. Your ears, mind and soul will be captured by a more dynamic sound and flawless sphere when the instruments are under the spell by lead guitarist Max Warnby, bassist Oscar Nyberg, and drummer Jakob Nilsson. Flying guitar solos, exceptional drumming in interaction with the bass, truly creates the soundscape Watcher always aimed for. The crowning jewel remains the enthralling and incredible voice of Viktor Gustafsson. Also the production hits a higher level than the previous releases. As Yngwie Malmsteen once said: “More is more!” When all pieces come together as a new layer to an already solid foundation driven by dedication and a clear vision, you become unstoppable… This is Watcher 2.0.
Turborock Productions is proud, and thrilled, to continue following Watcher’s evolution by conquering land with Swedish Heavy Metal. Check out the single AVENGER OF THE LIGHTNING FLASH on Youtube to get a taste of what’s to come! Lyric video by Mina Walkure.
