This is the same band who had the songs "Fatal War" and "The Strong Will Survive" on the obscure gotland compilation 'Rock Från Havet (1986)'. I don't know if CHALLENGER was from Gotland or if they went there to record these songs.. but one thing is for sure - they are power metal monsters!. Their demo from 1988 are a bit softer though, but still delivers great melodic / heavy metal!. GRAB A BEER AND GET READY FOR CHALLENGER!!!.

Johan Hallberg are still an active musician, doing his own stuff. CHECK IT OUT.
