"Moonlight" is the second single from the upcoming Gathering Of Kings album "Discovery" which will be released in the first quarter of 2020.

This is the first song you hear Jonny Lindkvist (Nocturnal Rites) in, as a GOK singer.

The song is written by Victor Olsson, lyrics by Victor and Alexander Frisborg. Produced, mixed and mastered by Thomas Plec Johansson (The Panic Room). Vocals recorded by Ronnie Björnström (Enhanced Audio Productions). Drums recorded by Bengan Andersson and Victor Olsson (Nordic Sound Lab).

Executive Producers are the founders and supervisors, Ron Dahlgren and Nina Dahlgren along with songwriter/guitarist/keyboardist Victor Olsson.

MOONLIGHT, LINE-UP:
Jonny Lindkvist (Nocturnal Rites) - Vocals
Victor Olsson (Saffire) - Guitars/Keyboards/Backing Vocals
Nalle Påhlsson (Treat, Easy Action, Therion) - Bass
Efraim Larsson (Rydell & Quick, Streamline) - Drums
Apollo Papathanasio (Spiritual Beggars) - Backing Vocals
Alexander Frisborg (Helldog) - Backing Vocals

The upcoming album will also include Rick Altzi (Masterplan), Tobias Jansson (Saffire) and Jonas Källsbäck (The Night Flight Orchestra) among others.

GATHERING OF KINGS began work on the new album a couple of months after the debut album was released and continues their creative relationship with producer Thomas "Plec" Johansson (SOILWORK, NOCTURNAL RITES, DYNAZTY, THE NIGHT FLIGHT ORCHESTRA).

The debut album "First Mission", was released in January 2019 via RN Records. The album reached #2 on the Swedish charts for physical album sales and #1 on the Hard Rock chart and #1 on the Vinyl chart.

The band is supervised by the founders Ron and Nina Dahlgren, bringing together top musicians from the current hard rock scene in Sweden. Victor Olsson is the main songwriter, with Alexander Frisborg co-writing lyrics on some of them.

The idea was to create something like Tom Galley's Phenomena or even Tobias Sammet's Avantasia, with multiple vocalists and instrumentalists.

Don't mind that at all, if you liked the debut disc this one sounds like a steady progression...if you didn't like it chances are you won't like this :)

Really looking forward to this. I saw them live this summer and I have to say it was amazing. 

First Mission is a top notch album and Heaven on the Run and Moonlight promise that the next one will be a belter as well.
