THE MELODIC ADVENTURE POWER METAL EXPLOSION FROM SWEDEN!
The story of ReinXeed takes place in a town called Boden in the north of Sweden. ReinXeed is Tommy Johansson’s musical creation and band vision.
The band was formed in 2002 and worked very hard with the music style and image to create what ReinXeed call ADVENTURE METAL. Big bombastic music with big lyrics with stories and legends that has been told for centuries with a heavenly hope. ..< br /> In late 2007 Christian Liljegren former singer and founder of NARNIA also owner of LILJEGREN RECORDS got a demo from Tommy Johansson. He was so impressed of what he heard and signed ReinXeed direct to his label. Christian is also running a management company and Tommy Johansson are one of his clients.
Promotional CDs were sent out to different companies in ASIA where Christian saw great potential for ReinXeed and highly praised label KING RECORDS in Japan licensed ReinXeed and the release of the debut album THE LIGHT and ave since then reached good success with ReinXeed’s releases THE LIGHT, HIGHER & MAJESTIC. LILJEGREN RECORDS releases the MAJESTIC album for the rest of the world except ASIA.
The debut album THE LIGHT released springtime 2008 showed the world a new band and talent in the melodic metal world. Now two years later since the release of THE LIGHT and the 2nd album HIGHER and now the 3rd effort MAJESTIC will see the light in EUROPE & USA.
Since the releases of THE LIGHT & HIGHER the ReinXeed has toured a lot in Sweden and also been working hard to write new material for the new album MAJESTIC. On the debut album The Light. The musical inspiration for ReinXeed comes from Gary Moore Angra, Stratovarius ,Robby Valentine ,Symphony X and Helloween, & Keeper Of The Seven Keys 1 & 2 era.
ReinXeed have worked hard to develop the songs and the production on MAJESTIC and the sound is big, powerful and bombastic with lots of vocal harmonies and shredding guitars & mighty keyboards. ReinXeed are already looking forward for the 4th album production as Tommy Johansson has now tons of ideas and material. Of course the band is hoping to touring abroad especially in Japan where they have a lot of fans since the release of THE LIGHT.
The MAJESTIC album scored 88 points in BURRN! MAGAZINE when it was released in JAPAN and have since then been in the metal charts in JAPAN. Everybody are convinced that this is by far the best ReinXeed album and the band already have loads of material for the 4th album so expect a new album in spring/summer 2011.
Tommy is also involved in a new great band called GOLDEN RESURRECTION formed by DIVINEFIRE, AUDIOVISION, EX NARNIA vocalist Christian Liljegren who signed ReinXeed to LILJEGREN RECORDS. What we are talking about is Scandinavian melodic metal with neoclassical elements in the finest possible way with a killer production done by ERIK MÅRTENSSON (ECLIPSE & W.E.T) Their debut album GLORY TO MY KING will see the light October 27th 2010 in JAPAN and November 12,2010 in the rest of the world. Three promotional videos are planned for the album so Tommy will be very busy the next coming years with ReinXeed & Golden Resurrection. GOLDEN RESURRECTION - The MELODIC NEOCLASSICAL METAL EXPLOSION!!!
MELODIC POWER ADVENTURE METAL WILL ARISE WITH REINXEED!

I think Tommy Johansson has finely found his groove with his third ReinXeed project Majestic. 2008's The Light showed an auspicious but choppy beginning. Then on 2009's Higher, Johansson settled down and found his focus. His brand of European power metal is heavy on strong melodies, catchy hooks, burning guitar solos, and well-crafted keyboards for both presence and atmosphere. With this year's Majestic, all this gels into a formidable whole; this is ReinXeed's best work to date.

Nevertheless, ReinXeed is still pure melodic power metal, nothing more, nothing less. This time around, however, the grooves are greater and the songs much more accessible. While Majestic begins with a rocky start with Deep Under the Sea, Johansson improves quickly. A string of delectable and entertaining songs follow with Invincible, Never Lie, Once Upon a Time, and Melody of Life. That latter song coupled with Atlantis finds ReinXeed offering more complex and intriguing compositions. For pure passion and soaring melodic metal, Second Chance delivers.

Ultimately, on ReinXeed's Majestic Tommy Johansson has found his place and done well with this premium European melodic power metal. For a sound example of the genre in 2010, look no further then Majestic. Recommended.
