Cirkus Prütz - Manifesto [Limited Edition]

The Swedish blues rock band CIRKUS PRÜTZ have improved from album to album in their career. In order to top their previous achievements once again, they have brought producer, multi-musician, bandleader and songwriter Peter Tägtgren (Pain, Hypocrisy, Lindemann, Sabaton and many more) on board for "Manifesto".'We had the feeling that we wanted to take our music further into the future. We needed a push forward and a new sound,' explains the band's singer and guitarist Christian Carlsson.'I've known Peter for quite a long time and have been a fan of his work over the years, especially with Pain. We talked about working together a few years ago and now it's finally happened,' says the band's bassist Jerry Prütz, adding that Peter has really inspired the band both musically and lyrically.'It shouldn't sound old school or like an old blues album,' was Peter Tägtgren's motto for the entire process.The ten songs on "Manifesto" talk about everything from drag racing to casino visits in Las Vegas, from stalking like in the Netflix series "Baby Reindeer" to an homage to Peter Stormare's iconic character Karl Hungus in the film "The Big Lebowski".Sound and songwriting are right up to date. All the songs were written by the band together in the rehearsal room and were then given the necessary finishing touches by Peter Tägtgren in his studio. The mastering was in the hands of Jonas Kjellgren, who was also responsible for the production of the last "Sabaton" albums.In a musical genre where most things follow tradition, Cirkus Prütz stand out and dare to challenge themselves, but also their audience.Manifesto is a blues rock album with many facets!
