Per Schelander is well known for his bass playing contributions with HOUSE OF SHAKIRA/PAIN OF SALVATION and ROYAL HUNT , with his brother Jörgen, who is a keyboardist, he formed a musical project that became a real band with the complementary recruitment of Martin Larsson on drums and Alex Lycke (ex-STONE FREE / ex-VICIOUS TONGUE) on vocals, the two brothers share the same passion for challenging songwriting and 70’s flavored Rock in the smartest way enhanced with a good dose of Progressive ingredients. To complete the ASTRAKHAN canvas, the last winning move was to add Marcus Jidell (guitarist for EVERGREY / ex-ROYAL HUNT / ex-THE RING and former JEKYLL & HYDE), the virtuoso who has taken good care of lead guitars but also the full studio duties for the album “Retrospective” as mixing engineer and producer.
