Talk In The Fast Lane welcomes Roland "Rolli" Forsman, guitarist and song writer of Swedish, Melodic Hard Rockers, Remedy. In this exclusive interview, Rolli and I discuss the writing of the upcoming album, how the band got started, his days growing up in Finland, dreaming of being on the big stages, being chosen to play guitar in "We Will Rock You" by Queen's Brian May and Roger Taylor, plus everything that is Remedy. One of the standout, melodic rock acts that is set to take the world by storm.
Remedy, a dynamic and cutting-edge melodic rock metal band originating from the heart of Stockholm, Sweden, burst onto the music scene in 2022 with an unmistakable presence. Their debut album ‘Something That Your Eyes Won’t See’ charted in Sweden and had a massive impact, including truly incredible positive feedback from the Rock and Metal World.
Now it’s the time for the second album ‘Pleasure Beats the Pain’, co-produced with the Swedish S-Rock Music Production, a huge sound journey between catchy melodies, powerful riffs, huge sound and mesmerizing guitar solos. With these new songs, the band presents a sound even more personal, pushing boundaries even further. Drawing from the lively sounds of the 80s, but adding a modern twist, Remedy captivates listeners with their contagious energy. Their magic is driven by energetic guitars, powerful vocals, and catchy hooks across Rock, Pop, and Metal genres, blending retro vibes with fresh innovation seamlessly.
In line with the production of Remedy’s debut album, ‘Pleasure Beats the Pain’ is mixed and mastered by Erik Martensson (Eclipse) at Mass Destruction Production.
“Fueled by the success of our debut album, stepping back into the studio felt like the most natural progression for us. With 'Pleasure Beats the Pain,' we reached a defining moment in Remedy's journey, solidifying our sound. With a balance of light and dark, day and night, pleasure and pain, love and hate, our music mirrors life's complexities, melding melodic rock & metal into a harmonious blend. Through this, combined with a distinctive approach to instrumentality and songwriting, Remedy emerges”, Rolli concludes.
The album ‘Pleasure Beats the Pain’ will be released on May 24, 2024 by Escape Music as CD, limited edition LP and digital.
