​Världsberömd Svensk Studio Fyller 15 År Jens Bogren i Fascination Street Studios 2017-08-29 07:45 CEST Världsberömd svensk studio fyller 15 år Jens Bogren är producenten som lockar många av världens största artister till sin studio Fascination Street Studios utanför Örebro. Taylor Swift, Coldplay, Adele, Elton John, Millencolin och många av världens största metalartister har spelats in eller mastrats av Jens Bogren och hans kollegor. Nu fyller studion 15 år. — Det känns väldigt roligt. Vägen har varit lång och stundtals gropig, men jag har lyckats varva hårt arbete med tur och lite talang. Och jag trivs fortfarande som fisken i vattnet, säger Fascination Street Studios grundare och ägare Jens Bogren. År 2002 flyttade Jens Bogren från Halmstad till Örebro för att ta över det som då hette Studio Kuling. I samband med detta bytte han studions namn och inriktning på dess arbete. Studion gick från att ha en ”kristen” musikinriktning, vars ägare flyttade till Knutby för att där gå med i en viss församling, till att främst producera hårdrock och metal. Sedan dess har många stora artister spelats in i studion och mixats av Jens och hans kollegor. Det stora genombrottet kom i samband med produktionen av Opeths album Ghost Reveries år 2005. — I början gjorde jag allt möjligt och hade egentligen inga särskilda ambitioner inom just metal. Jag spelade in gospelskivor, varvade med lite dansband, jobbade med Åsa Jinder och gjorde en skiva med Håkan Hagegård. Efter några lokala hårdrocksproduktioner hade jag turen att bli rekommenderad för Stockholmsbandet Katatonia, som i sin tur rekommenderade Opeth att jobba med mig. Efter det har jobben kommit i strid ström och jag har kunnat expandera verksamheten. Och på den vägen är det, säger Jens Bogren. Jubileumsåret började med att två metalalbum, brasilianska Sepulturas nya platta Machine Messiah och tyska Kreators Gods of Violence, släpptes. Båda är inspelade i Fascination Street Studios och mixade av Jens Bogren. Under året kommer Jens och hans team spela in, mixa eller mastra bland andra Arch Enemy, Enslaved, Angra, Marty Friedman, Orphaned Land, Between The Buried and Me och Amorphis. Bland mastringsjobben syns Skepta, Haim, Khalid samt förhoppningsvis ytterligare en Apple Music-festival; som Jens jobbat med flera år i rad. — Det blir ett spännande år. Jag ser särskilt fram emot att jobba med Israeliska Orphaned Land igen; ett band som gärna belyser den absurda situationen i Mellanöstern. Detta är också året då ett par av nytillskotten i vårt team kommer att blomma ut ordentligt med spännande projekt, främst när det gäller mixningsbiten; vilket får anses vara vår huvudnäring.Vi påbörjar även bygget av nya, större och fler lokaler i Örebro, säger Jens Bogren. Jens Bogren, grundare och ägare av Fascination Street Studios, är omtalad världen över för sitt arbete med några av världens största artister på metalscenen. Sepultura, Kreator, Opeth, Amon Amarth, Paradise Lost, Soilwork, Moonspell, God Forbid, Amorphis, Dark Tranquillity, At the Gates och James LaBrie (Dream Theater) är bara några av artisterna vars album har producerats och mixats eller mastrats av Jens. Dessutom står Jens för mastring av ljudet på livevideor från konserter med Taylor Swift, Coldplay, Adele, Elton John och flera andra (de tre sista från Apple Music Festival). Fascination Street Studios startades 2002 av Jens Bogren. Verksamheten har sedan dess vuxit stadigt och företaget har idag sju ljudtekniker och producenter och två studios: en i Örebro och en i Stockholm (Studio Gröndahl). Förutom Jens jobbar bland andra producenten David Castillo (Candlemass och Soilwork) och producenten och låtskrivaren Per Aldeheim (Pain, Lambretta och Def Leppard), samt den renodlade mastringsteknikern Tony Lindgren (Kreator, Paradise Lost, Enslaved, Katatonia) i studion.

  • SEPULTURA 09. März 2018 Stuttgart-Wangen LKA/Longhorn
    SEPULTURA 09. März 2018 Stuttgart-Wangen LKA/Longhorn Machine Messiah Tour 2018 Gäste: Obscura, Goatwhore, Fit For An Autopsy Anfang 2018 werden die brasilianischen Metal-Legenden SEPULTURA mit ihrer ersten großen Headlinertour zum gefeierten Album „Machine Messiah“ nach Europa zurückkehren. Die über 90 Minuten umfassende Setlist wird alle aktuellen Hits, aber auch die zeitlosen Klassiker der Band enthalten. Nach einer extrem erfolgreichen Tour mit Kreator und vielen Festivalshows im Jahr 2017 haben SEPULTURA nun ein weiteres, grandioses Billing im Gepäck: Als Direct Support sind keine Geringeren als die deutschen Technical Death Metal- Meister Obscura bestätigt, gefolgt von den amerikanischen Black/Death Metallern Goatwhore und New Jerseys Finest, dem Deathcore-Kommando Fit For An Autopsy. Andreas Kisser dazu: „Sepulnation Europe, ich freue mich sehr, die erste Headline Tour für unser aktuelles Album Machine Messiah für Februar/März 2018 bekanntgeben zu dürfen! Unterstützt werden wir von fantastischen Künstlern wie Obscura, Goatwhore und Fit For An Autopsy! Also macht euch bereit, der Messiah setzt sich in Bewegung in Richtung Europa, bis bald! DESTROY!!!!“ Klasse ist ewig und Metal ist für immer. Der Weg zum Ruhm der Heavy Music ist übersät von den zerbrochenen Kadavern derer, die nicht die Stärke dazu hatten, diese Reise zu beenden. Doch wahre Meister werden es immer hindurch schaffen und SEPULTURA haben sich schon lange den Status als Legenden der Metalwelt verdient. In 2017 werden sie mit noch mehr Feuer in ihrem gemeinsamen Leib zurückkehren als je zuvor. „Machine Messiah“ wird kommen… Nachdem sich die Band 1984 in Belo Horizonte, Brasilien zusammengeschlossen hatte, sind SEPULTURA schon sehr schnell zu wichtigen Bestreitern des aufkeimenden Thrash Metal Undergrounds geworden.

  • By Mihai Eminescu English Translation by Dimitrie Cuclin Music
    Based on the poem “Luceafărul” by Mihai Eminescu English translation by Dimitrie Cuclin Music: Adrian Tăbăcaru Video: Costin Chioreanu LUCIFER - A ROCK OPERA Based on the poem “Luceafărul” by the Romanian poet Mihai Eminescu, translated in English by Dimitrie Cuclin, “Lucifer” Rock-Opera is composed and produced by Adrian Tăbăcaru during 2014-2018. The album was recorded at Taine-Multimedia Studio, mixed & mastered by Jens Bogren at Fascination Street Studios in 2019, the album features top-class musicians and actors from Romania and UK. Based on a libretto written by Ioana Ieronim, the video is produced by Costin Chioreanu. THE MYSTERIOUS POET: One of the most mysterious poets of all time, lived in Romania (1850-1889). His name was Mihai Eminescu and it was a real challenge for many generations of students to comprehend to its real dimension his work. His poems of an undoubted beautifulness are followed by deep and extremely sophisticated messages, which can be understood only by initiates. His knowledge about the Universe and its mysteries are so advanced for the time he lived in, that is puzzling even for the most liberal scientists. His poems not only anticipate Einstein’s relativity theory but also talk about lack of time and space, wormholes, energy, as being the information that creates matter, and many other topics difficult to understand even today. Nobody can explain how this poet foresees all this knowledge, and the verses behind it are absolutely marvelous. THE ENGLISH TRANSLATION: The beauty of the poem comes, especially, from the particular combination of some keywords and from the musicality produced by the association of certain rhythmic words.
