WTF? I wonder if this will actually ever get off the ground, and if so, how many members will come and go before they record something? Again, as I said, this is strange.

So how many members are they going for? Just a keyboard guy and they'll be good to go? Or are they just going to keep gathering members until even you and I are part of the band?

Well, they're called Gathering of Kings, Geoffrey, so they're probably not gonna stop until they've gathered them all.

I dunno ... you only need three kings to have a (small) gathering.

You'd figure anymore than one King and there will be problems. You'd also recon a queen or two and a gaggle of knights would be necessary to round out the table.

How many announcements ago did this whole thing just get really, really stupid?

 

I can just see it; they'll be announcing their 189th band member at the end of 2016 and they won't even have entertained the notion of actually *GASP!* writing a song. Idiotic.

It is with great pleasure that we can announce our eighth king. As one of the vocalists, please welcome Mr. Tobias Jansson!

Tobias Jansson is the singer in one of Swedens most promising hard rock constellations - Saffire. The trademark for this king is his wide range of vocal expressions. He often finds himself wandering between the soft and the agitated , sometimes with a touch of theatricality and a subtle nerve.

Tobias Jansson's Saffire recently released their second studio album "For The Greater Good" that also has been praised in media all over the globe. Furthermore he has found himself in numerous bands and projects over the years (The Law, Silent Scythe, Sugarglider, Evil Masquerade), but it's through the alliance with Saffire that Tobias Jansson truly has found himself his stronghold and nourishing ground to grow even stronger. 2016 will be a year to remember!

Thank you for joining the Gathering Of Kings family, Tobias Jansson.

Gathering Of Kings have now confirmed the following artists:

* Björn Strid - vocals (Soilwork, The Night Flight Orchestra)
