Release Notes:
The Quill came out of the ashes of the band Quil
and was formed by Magnus Ekwall, Christian
Carlsson, George Atlagic, Anders Haglund and
original bassist Peter Holm in the beginning of the
90┤s and played the Swedish barcircuit the
following years. Peter Holm left the band at the
end of 1993 and saw Roger Nilsson stepping in to
fill his shoes. After writing material for half a
year they entered Berno studio in Malm÷ and
recorded their debut-CD in three weeks.
After signing a recorddeal with Megarock Records
the album was released in Europe in March 1995.
Also a video for the track "Jet of water" was
recorded. The album got an overwhelming reception
by the critics and was later voted number 70 in
Sweden┤s biggest newspaper "Aftonbladets" poll, Top
100 albums of the year. Not bad for an underground
band without a big record company behind their
back. Other reviews that can be mentioned: 4 out of
5 in Raw, 81 out of 100 in Burrn Magazine.
After a short promotion tour in Sweden with
Abstrakt Algebra, The Quill played the Karlshamn
Rockfestival with bands like Black Sabbath and
Fleetwood Mac. A tour in Germany was booked but was
later cancelled due to some trouble with the record
company. Instead The Quill played some more
festivals in Sweden. After playing all over Sweden
for almost a year the band went underground to
start working on the next album. In may 1997 Anders
Haglund decided to leave the band, the others
feeling no need of a new organ player decided to
continue as a four piece band.
In August 1997 the band entered Berno Studio in
Malm÷ again and started working on the second
album. A month later the album was finished. The
band had then recorded 13 new songs.
Since the release of the album was delayed and the
guys had written some new songs that they very much
wanted on the album they re-entered Berno Studios
in the summer of 1998 and recorded the tracks
"Grand Canyon, "Under a vow" and "Mercury". At the
same session they also recorded the song "A
Sinner┤s Fame" originally made by the band Trouble,
and the song "Fairies Wear Boots" originally
recorded by Black Sabbath. During the autumn of -98
they did a smaller tour in Sweden together with a
band called Bullhorn.
The beginning of -99 finally saw the release of the
second album entitled Silver Haze and, as the first
time around, the press was really enthusiastic. The
summer of -99 saw The Quill playing a number of
festivals in Sweden and also in Denmark. The
highlight of the summer was the gig at Sweden Rock
Festival where The Quill played together with bands
like Deep Purple, Mot÷rhead, Captain Beyond and
Dio. The summer also saw the release of a 10" EP
called Evermore on Froghouse records. During all
this the band also managed to visit Berno Studios
two times and record their versions of "Where
Eagles Dare" by Iron Maiden, "Frozen Over" by
Captain Beyond and lastly "Mount Everest" by
November.
