X-World/5

The metal super group X-World/5 with the record New Universal Order is now represented by Big Swede Studios (Record Label).

“When me and Magnus first talked about doing a project we wanted to have friends from different parts of the world involved. It turned out to be a pretty interesting line-up,” says Big Swede.

The concept for the project was trying to do something new, interesting and futuristic, mixing metal, electronic sounds and powerful vocals, sometimes distorted.

“How would a metal band sound 1000 years from now? That’s the question which started it all when me and Big Swede were discussing ideas for the project,” continues Magnus Rosen.

“I had Reeves Gabrels in my studio (Big Swede Studios) in LA while Andy and Magnus were doing stuff at Andy’s place (Sonic Train Studios) outside of Gothenburg. Nils did his parts in Norway. Then me and Andy mixed half of the songs each in our own studios. It was a very easy process and because we were located in different parts of the world, it was impossible to get tired of each other and no fighting occurred,” laughs Big Swede.
