GRAND DESIGN

GRAND DESIGN – Idolizer (2011)

Grand Design was formed in 2006 by vocalist/producer Pelle Saether, Peter Ledin (guitars) & Richard Holmgren (drums). In the following years, the guys worked hard on capturing that big 80’s sound and songs. Grand Design’s 1st album “Time Elevation” was completed in early 2009, during the recordings Anders Modd (bass) & Dennis Vestman (git) completed the line-up. The release gained massive success and was awarded ‘best album’ and ‘best song’ by BeRockRadio and received  numerous top 10 positions for  “best album 2009”. Several concerts including the prestigious FireFest in Nottingham, U.K proved that Grand Design can deliver live. Pelle Saether comments: ”Since we all love Def Leppard, it will always be an influence we use to spice up things.”

Now, two years later, it’s time for Grand Design’s second album #2 – “Idolizer”. The recording process was handled similar to the first album, the line-up is intact and the sound and songs are in the same style. Pelle says: “We knew we had found a formula to make an 80’s rock record work in the 21st century – so why change it?” The record contains 10 songs and contains everything from fast pace rock tracks to slow love ballads. All having a larger than life production, and on top, the famous Grand Design big choirs.

With songs like “Get On With Action”, “OughtoGraugh” and  “Your Love’s A Runaway”, “Idolizer” is gonna be the follow up the fans expect. Grand Design will prove again that the songs and sound of 80’s rock belongs into your players and onto the big stages.

Tracklist: 01  Get On With The Action, 02  Change Me up, 03  OughtoGraugh, 04  You Love’s A Runaway, 05  Stealin’ My Love, 06  Let’s Rawk The Nite, 07  Addiction For Love, 08  Idolize Me, 09  Rock Back To The 80s, 10  You’re Gonna Dig On It
 

Time Elevation (2009)

Pelle Saether former vocalist of Zeelion, Zello and Schizophrenic Circus and also producer/engineer for bands like Cryonic Temple, Axenstar, Steel Attack is now ready with a new band calllded GRAND DESIGN.

It all had started in 2006 as a project inspired by bands such as Europe, Scorpions and Def Leppard. The first thing after writing all songs was to get hold of a good drummer. Richard Holmgren – a very talented drummer and former member of “Vanessa - now playing in Wolf joined Saether. Guitarist Peter Ledin (ex Vanessa) was next  – his style of playing is perfect for this project that now had turned into a band.
Peter understood quickly the vision of GRAND DESIGN, and after Fall  2006 songs like “Air it out”, “Love Sensation”, “Sad Sound of Goodbye”  and “Sheik Iddup” had become reality. During Spring 2009 all bass was done by Anders Mood, a good friend and also a member of Wolf.
Dennis Vestman (ex Steelattack) performed some extra guitars and Saether himself took care of the vocals.
The singer/ producer comments he sound of GRAND DESIGN: “We wanted that Leppard sound to it. You know: 96 channels of choirs just running you over – and we nailed it!!! This album features a big 80’s rock sound combined with great songs with BIG choirs.”
