Time for a new single from the Swedish AOR band NIGHTHAWK, led by guitarist Rob Majd (Captain Black Beard, Metalite). After “Running Wild”, it’s now time for “Free Your Mind”, another killer song that foreshows just how good the new Nighthawk album will be.

“A cute uptempo pop’n’roll song which combines the energy that I always want present in Nighthawk with a great melody which had to be included when recording at the world-famous Abbey Road Studios”, Rob comments.

Metal Shock Finland has a pleasure to premiere their new single and official video ”Free Your Mind’, for Finland, enjoy it below.

With him on Abbey Road Studios, Rob had Björn “Speed” Strid (Soilwork, The Night Flight Orchestra & Donna Cannone) on lead vocals, Magnus Ulfstedt (Ginevra) on drums, John Lönnmyr (NFO) on keyboards and Christan Ek (Captain Black Beard) on bass. With this line-up and the magical ambient where Pink Floyd, The Beatles and Oasis once recorded, there was no way Nighthawk would fail on making a superb album.

Nighthawk’s new album, “Prowler, will be released in the Spring.

Lineup:
Robert Majd – guitar
Björn Strid – vocals
Magnus Ulfstedt – drums
John Lönnmyr – keyboards
Christian Ek – bass/backing vocals

Friday night. The weekend is still a brilliant prospect and the tiredness suddenly transforms into an energetic urge to have fun, to go on the prowl, to just LIVE. That’s when NIGHTHAWK’s perfect blend of classic AOR and world-class hard rock kicks in best. Unapologetic, in-your-face and brilliant-as-fuck. “Prowler”, their new album, delivers exactly what it promise: first-class rock’n’roll.

Then again, this band has the right pedigree to deliver the goods. Nighthawk started out as a solo project by Robert Majd (bass player in Metalite & Captain Black Beard). The idea was just to have some fun, play guitar and write some energetic rock’n’roll. The debut album featured a bunch of different singers. After that first album release in the summer of 2021 Robert got an itch to do more. 

This time the stakes would be higher. With the world famous Abbey Road Studios booked, a band and a collection of songs needed to match the caliber of the studio. Björn Strid (The Night Flight Orchestra, Soilwork & Donna Cannone) joined on lead vocals, Magnus Ulfstedt (Ginevra) on drums, John Lönnmyr (The Night Flight Orchestra) on keyboards and Christan Ek (Captain Black Beard) on bass. Nine original tunes together with two covers (of Kiss and Bruce Springsteen classics!) were recorded live in the studio in just two days. 

So, fasten your seatbelts. You’re about to take a rock’n’roll trip to the good ol’ Friday nights that are still to come! 

“Prowler” will be released on LP (black vinyl, limited to 500 copies), CD and digital formats via Mighty Music on May 12th, 2023. Pre-orders are available here.

The single “Running Wild”, from the album, has been released and can be streamed here. A new single, titled “Free Your Mind” will be released on Friday next week.

After releasing a very successful debut album in the hard rock/AOR scene, the stakes are now higher for Swedish band NIGHTHAWK, led by guitarist Rob Majd (Captain Black Beard, Metalite). With Björn Strid (Soilwork, The Night Flight Orchestra & Donna Cannone) joining on lead vocals, Magnus Ulfstedt (Ginevra) on drums, John Lönnmyr (NFO) on keyboards and Christan Ek (Captain Black Beard) on bass, the group booked world-famous Abbey Road Studios and made some magic.

Today, Metal Shock Finland has a pleasure to premiere the band’s new official video ‘Running Wild’, for Finland, enjoy it below.

“Running Wild” is the first spell from the album. A song that not only keeps the path walked by Nighthawk in their debut album, but also sets the “new” band approach for the project. Tighter, groovier, more melodic. More memorable.

“An album I made just for the fun experience of doing it, working with new people and trying something different, turned out great!”, Rob Majd says. Judging by “Running Wild”, indeed, great things are ahead on the Nighthawk skies.
    
Nighthawk’s new album will be released in the first half of 2023.    
    
Lineup:
