It appears that Dundertåget is now down to founding member Robert Dahlqvist: https://www.dundertaget.se?share=941
Not that that'll stop him though, he says he will recruit a new band and will be playing shows this summer as well as working on new material.
Swedish rocker Robert Pehrsson (Death Breath, Dundertåget) recently recorded a couple new tracks at Gutterview Recorders with Nicke Andersson (The Hellacopters, Imperial State Electric) and Tomas Eriksson (Captian Murphy) and is streaming the rough mixes at myspace: https://www.myspace.com/robertpehrsson
Kinda odd to hear Swedish death metal with straight-up melodic vocals (courtesy of Janne "J.B." Christofferson from Grand Magus), but hey -- when you're scene royalty like Fred Estby, you get to do whatever you want on your solo album. Doesn't hurt that both Roberts from Dundertåget/Thunder Express (that would be Pehrsson and Dahlqvist) contribute leads either. As one would expect, Necronaut's self-titled debut is a mixed bag based on the various gueststar's talents, but the overall result is pretty darn good as far as vanity projects go. It's a fun and enjoyable listen and that's enough. The small surprises like "Soulside serpents" elevate it above Death Breath-level mediocrity.
