THE 5TH ALBUM BY THE SWEDISH HARD ROCK/MELODIC METAL QUINTET STONELAKE In August 1984 guitarist Jan Akesson and singer Peter Grundstrom got to know each other after a mutual concert. Jan played guitar in a band called Ravage and Peter was a singer in a band called Whitelight. Their meeting led to the conclusion of Jans work with Ravage and he became a new member in Whitelight in the fall the same year. The concentration of Whitelight was melodic hardrock and main influence among many where: Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin and Bad Company, but later on, newer bands (english and american) such as Whitesnake, Van Halen, Journey, Toto, Riot, Wrabit and Dokken. The band did many gigs and demos (in hope of getting a proper record deal). In 1987 Jan decided to leave Whitelight and went his own way. He wanted to try his own wings with a tougher; more guitarorientated hardrock. Peter stayed in Whitelight but Jan wasnt replaced. Instead the name of the band was changed to Kee Avenue. Jan established a new band called Why Not and later he also established new bands like Perfect Stranger and Dr Blue. These bands did really successful gigs and recordings in different places. In 1994 Jan stepped down from the stages, but kept on writing songs and recorded them in Cubase. Since then he owns a studio. Kee Avenue split up in 1991 after the bass player and the keyboard player left the band. The band never found anyone to replace them. After this breakup Peter played with different band, mostly cover-band. He kept on writing songs and the two guys finally came back together establishing STONELAKE. After four albums their new and fifth outcome Marching on timeless tales promises to be the most powerful and matured album by the ambitious Swedes and a must-have for all fans of high-quality hard rock and melodic metal from Scandinavia.
