‘Krampus’ is the third new music and video released during 2016 from Snowy Shaw‘s forthcoming first album as a solo artist to be out in early spring 2017. Odd and unconventional as it may seem, ‘Alcoholocaust’, ‘Nachtgeist’ and now ‘Krampus’ could and should be viewed as premotional videos rather than promotional since the songs themselves aren’t available yet until next year. Made to introduce the fans to the new chapter in the wondrous world of Snowy Shaw, both musically and visually and to offer a sneak peak on what’s to come. ‘Krampus’ is created by by Snowy Shaw, Lucky Ludde and Patric Ullaeus and recorded at Tomten’s Verkstad. Mixed and mastered by Fredrik Nordström at Studio Fredman, check out ‘Krampus’:
2017 sees him bring his spectacular show to the U.S for the first time with the sold out show at Prog Power Atlanta, in September. The plan to to add more U.S dates as well as a tour of South/latin America during the period is currently in the making.
“Frankly speaking, after all these years with various duties and positions in countless bands I’ve reached a point in my life where I feel that if I don’t get to do my own shit now, and the way I want it I might as well give up music altogether. Apart from doing the occasional recording session job every now and then I really can’t picture myself ever joining another band again. As grateful and proud as I am, having had the privilege of working with all those fabulous bands in the past, it’s a bit like Been there/ done that. So come hell or high water, for the rest of my days I’ll be a solo artist. And I do mean that in the truest sense of the word, meaning that I’m doing it all myself with the exception that I do have a live band appearing with me while on stage. Although I might be able to play and sing it all on the recordings I simply can’t do it all at once for obvious reasons“.
