Fresh on the heels of their first album that was released just last year Maestro Roine Stolt has gathered the troops for what will surely be another great progressive album. The first Agents of Mercy album and tour have gotten positive reviews all the way.
Their sound can be compared to Peter Gabriel era Genesis with a healthy dose of The Flower Kings sprinkled in (naturally since Roine is the leader of TFK)
From Roine's (pronounced roy-na) My Space page:
Hey -
Just a quick update to let you know what's going on in AGENT's land.
We're working hard on writing and finding the right songs for the next album.
We have aproximately 25 songs to pick from - we're demoing it and sending files back and forth.
We're having fun - we've written things together and we will possibly do some
more collective writing while we get to the studio.
I'm very pleased to declare that we have booked Varispeed Studio - again !!!!
in beginning of March .

It's a great studio situated in Klågerup Skåne - south of Sweden.
We recorded The Flower Kings latest album - "Sum Of No Evil" there and it was such a great experience -
I'm psyched to come back there to rehearse and record music and cook food.
It's a house filled with wonderful NEVE desks - old Vox and Fender Amps - great
vintage drumkits and Rhodes,Wurlizer and a Hammond that sounds killer and a great live room.
Our brothers in arms will be Jonas Reingold - Basso, Lalle Larsson-Tecladas and
a young eccentric drummer, Michael Wahlgren and Count Nad and myself will provide the vocalism,
eclectic guitars and xtra terrestial keyboards, coffee,whistle,bongos and
lawnmovers.
Sessions will be fimed in technocolor 3D for release in your cinema autumn 2010.
I have nothing else to give away now - xept
maybe a few song-a-hint that it'll be mucho vintage prog - probably
more upbeat and downbeat and "beat" in general than our 1st cd baby - leaning towards
early Magma,Barry Manilow,Captain Beefhart's schlager tapes a bit of Sven Ingvars but with less
distortion, but most of all the sign of Stolt & Sylvan.
Whatever - it's gonna be a blast just to be there and create with a few good friends that all
have a great mindset and will to exel.
Roine.
