Geoff Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Geoff Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 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.

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.

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)* Zinny Zan - vocals (Easy Action, Shotgun Messiah)* Tobias Jansson - vocals (Saffire, Evil Masquerade)* Stefan Helleblad - guitars (Within Temptation, Jono)* Chris Laney - guitars (Randy Piper's Animal, Shotgun)* Victor Olsson - guitars (Saffire)* Nalle Påhlsson - bass (Therion, Treat, Last Autumn's Dream)* Robban Bäck - drums (Mustasch, Eclipse, Sabaton, W.E.T).
