The third JOHANSSON & SPECKMANN full-length will be released via Soulseller Records in spring 2016. Rogga Johansson comments: “Me and Paul are very excited to sign to Soulseller Records for our third album with JOHANSSON & SPECKMANN. So far nine songs have been written and are currently being recorded. Expect more of the same as the previous albums, but with a twist this time, more leadwork from the new addition on lead guitars, Kjetil Lynghaug (MORDENIAL), and a step up in the masterful drumming of Brynjar Helgetun (LIKLUKT).” Paul Speckmann comments: “Speckmann here, really looking forward to working with Soulseller Records. They will be releasing the next killer installment of the JOHANSSON & SPECKMANN series.” For all further information check out www.facebook.com/johansson-speckmann-225899484206206
