Album Notes & Community Reviews

Departing Europe immediately after their monumental international breakthrough, the Swedish guitar virtuoso launched his solo career with a deeply melodic, guitar-driven effort. 'Total Control' blends punchy, riff-heavy hard rock with passionate vocal performances and neoclassical soloing. The record allowed Norum to assert his creative independence while remaining a dominant force in Scandinavian metal.
