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.

Fantastic !!
I loved very much the both compilation Tracks !! thank you very much !!
STRAPPADO,thanx a lot for introducing us to this great 80s band!I find both demo 1988 and the compilation songs(1986)great!The melody,the great guitars,the great vocal delivery,the power are elements of all 5 songs!I admit the 86 songs are heavier,but the 88 ones are catchy and more ellegant-still being heavy!This band,given the right chances,should be big and adored by metal fans!Thanx for digging this stuff up and offering it to us!Be blessed man!!
They were from Gotland - Saw them a couple of times and they had some great talents and songs. Petty they stopped playing together in -90.
