Info zu Raising the Roof

„Raising the Roof“ läutet ein kraftvolles neues Kapitel für Peter Carlsohns „The Rise“ ein – ein melodisches Hardrock-Album voller Energie, Überzeugung und typisch skandinavischer Handwerkskunst. Getragen von Peter Carlsohns unverkennbarem Bassspiel und seinem gefühlvollen Gesang verbindet das Album klassische Rockwurzeln mit modernem Flair und bietet eingängige Hooks, kraftvolle Riffs und atmosphärische Keyboardklänge. Das Album wurde von Tobias Lindell gemischt und von Thomas „Plec“ Johansson gemastert, was ihm sowohl Durchschlagskraft als auch Klarheit verleiht. Gemeinsam gestalten sie ein Album, das sowohl Dringlichkeit als auch Hoffnung vermittelt, von treibenden Hardrock-Hymnen bis hin zu dynamischen Midtempo-Stücken, die von starken Harmonien und emotionaler Tiefe geprägt sind. „Raising the Roof“ zeigt Carlsohns Entwicklung als Songwriter, Sänger und Produzent und bietet ein kühnes und leidenschaftliches Werk.

Peter Carlsohn
began his musical career in the 70s, and has performed with artists in all types of genres since then.

He joined the legendary Christian rock band Jerusalem in 1980, and has both recorded several albums with the band, and toured all over the world during a period of 40 years.

First album he recorded with Jerusalem was Warrior (1981), made them the first Swedish rock band to be played on MTV, and the first Christian rock band worldwide to be played on MTV. Warrior was recently voted one of ”The 100 most Important Christian Records All Times”, by CCM Magazine (USA).

Jerusalem has toured all over USA, and Canada several times, and in 1985 the band made 50 concerts in 4 months. During this tour the album ”In His Majesty´s Service-Live In USA” was recorded, and later voted ”Best Rock-Album of the Year” in GP (Swedish Newspaper).

With the song ”Dancing on the Head of the Serpent” (1987), Jerusalem was nominated for ”Best Song of the Year”, at the Dove Awards (USA).

In the 90s the band released the album ”Prophet”, and toured all over Europe together with legendary Christian rock pioneers Petra (USA).

Since 2017 Peter is the bass-player of the heavy rock band XT, along with band members Björn Stigsson (Leviticus), Sonny Larsson (Motherlode, Leviticus), Dan Tibell (Jerusalem) and Thomas Weinesjö (Veni Domine, Cell 9, Nubian Rose).

XT made several records during the 90s, before the band went into hibernation for some years. At the reunion, Peter was asked to join the band. He has recorded two albums together with XT, and during the fall of 2020, the next XT-recording is getting started.

In 2018, XT was invited to play at a Festival in Laos. This was the first time a Christian rock band was allowed to play in the country, which has been closed for a long time. XT were invited back for the next festival in 2019, and for future concerts.

Jerusalem has been active through the years, and Peter is currently recording some songs for the next Jerusalem-album, to be released in October 2020.
