Experience the pinnacle of Swedish Melodic Hard Rock with "Blind," the debut masterpiece from Prisoner. Led by the legendary guitarist and producer Tommy Denander, this album is a treasure trove of soaring vocals, polished production, and world-class guitar work. As a Japanese edition, it includes exclusive bonus tracks not found on the international release, making it the definitive version for true connoisseurs of the genre. A rare, out-of-print gem that perfectly captures the golden sound of AOR and Melodious Hard Rock.
Prisoner is a high-caliber project spearheaded by Tommy Denander, one of the most prolific and respected figures in the melodic rock scene. Known for his work with Radioactive and countless collaborations with icons like Toto and Michael Landau, Denander brings an elite level of craftsmanship to this album. Swedish melodic rock is renowned for its high quality, often compared to the technical excellence of J-Metal and the melodic sensibilities found in Japanese Melodic Metal acts[cite: 1, 2].
