On the Steel Stage arrives a project that sits somewhere between a concert, theatre and ritual. A sound where gospel, soul, psychedelic rock and funk meet creates a strong atmosphere and works with emotion and tension. It’s not just about songs, but about a whole that draws you in and at times may leave you wondering what exactly is happening.
Behind it all stands Pär Hagström, a musician and composer who has moved from organ roots through metal and rock to his own distinctive expression. With his band Charlatans of Love, he creates a musical entity where storytelling, theatrical energy and a powerful, preacher-like voice come together. Their latest album Dreamers Believers Illusionists Preachers continues the story of Reverend Jack and brings a sound they describe as a psychedelic mass for lost souls.
