THE UNGUIDED Premiere ‘A Link To The Past’ Music Video
September 20th, 2018

Swedish melodic metal band The Unguided have filmed a music video for the track ‘A Link To The Past’, which can be viewed below.

The Unguided issued fourth full-length studio album And The Battle Royale on November 10th, 2017 through Napalm Records.

And The Battle Royale is the first studio album to feature vocalist / guitarist Jonathan Thorpenberg. Thorpenberg replaced founder member Roland Johansson, who announced his decision to leave The Unguided in December 2016.

Frontman Richard Sjunnesson commented: “We’ve without doubt sacrificed our five souls into this one. Everyone knew it would be a career defining record after the departure of our highly-acclaimed brother and we had no intensions to disappoint our fans nor ourselves writing and record this dynamic monster with innovative producer Dino Medanhodzic. Everyone indeed brought their absolute A-game on this record and Jonathan over performed in every possible way whilst also bringing something completely new to the table. A table which much urgently needed it I’d say. Come November and the battle royale will make or break you!”

The outing was made available as a digital album download and a limited edition digipak CD. The latter features a bonus live DVD which captures Roland Johansson’s farewell show with The Unguided at Falkhallen in Falkenberg, Sweden. Filmed on March 18th, 2017, the concert also features guest appearences from former The Unguided drummer John Bengtsson and What Tomorrow Brings guitarist / singer Christoffer Andersson.

And The Battle Royale was produced by Dino Medanhodzic.
