NEW SOLO ALBUM & AUDIOVISION TOUR AND ALBUM!
Hi everybody!
I
know it has been a big silence since from me the last months since the
news came out that I am not fronting NARNIA anymore. See Narnia's
myspace site for my statement.

What is happening now?
I am
working on my 2nd solo album in Swedish called CHRISTIAN LILJEGREN -
LEVANDE (ALIVE) together with my close friend and keyboardplayer OLOV
ANDERSSON. The album will be released during 2009 and concerts are
planned to promote the album.

I have also joined forces with my
brother SIMEON LILJEGREN again. We played together for many years in
BORDERLINE & MODEST ATTRACTION. I am really excited for this and
looking forward to play live and record new material. It will be
melodic 70´s & 80´s hard rock & metal with symphonic touch with
lots of harmony vocals like THE SWEET & QUEEN.

We will use the
AUDIOVISION name and fans out there will get explosive concerts with
material from all the bands I have been involved during the years such
as NARNIA, DIVINEFIRE, MODEST ATTRACTION, BORDERLINE, FLAGSHIP &
WISDOM CALL. Finally many songs fans have been waiting for to hear live
will come true. I will keep you updated of AUDIOVISION activities and
tourdates that will happen in 2009.

I will also be doing
vocals together with THOMAS VIKSTRÖM on the new 7 DAYS album by MARKUS
SIGFRIDSSON. The album is planned to be out during 2009.

Otherwise
I have a new job as Music consulent for NBV Sörmland where I am
coaching bands. I have also moved my office and warehouse to KUNGSÖR
1st of September. KUNGSÖR is located 150 km from STOCKHOLM.
It's a calm place and I am feeling relaxed to live there.

More news from me and the label in a near future. Please keep checking this website from time to time!

God bless!
Christian Liljegren

The new Audiovision might be good (unless it is a radical departure from the first album). But I have to confess to having no interest in a solo album with Swedish lyrics.

Thanks for posting that update. Great to hear Christian is still singing.

I'd love to hear another Audiovision disc. That was some good stuff!

"melodic 70´s & 80´s hard rock & metal with symphonic touch with lots of harmony vocals like THE SWEET & QUEEN" doesn't sound like Audiovision to me, but we'll see I guess.

Yes but if you remember the Audiovision album has a cover version of a "Sweet" song. So the "70's & 80's symphonic" reference may just be a "relative influence". Guess we will just have to wait and see.
