WayMaker: new band from Christian Liljgren & Jani Stefanovic
by Lex Metalis Fri Mar 13, 2020 11:53 am
Today, Friday 13th, when the world is in chaos, the world needs a Waymaker. The new metal sensation from Sweden and Finland is here, featuring Christian Liljegren (Narnia, Audiovision, solo artist, ex-Divinefire, Golden Resurrection, etc.), Jani Stefanovic (Shakiah, Solution .45, The Weakening, Miseration, ex-Divinefire, Mehida, Essence of Sorrow, etc.), and Katja Stefanovic (solo artist).
The Waymaker was formed in summer of 2019 by vocalist Christian Liljegren (Narnia) & guitarist Jani Stefanovic (Solution .45 & Miseration). Jani & Christian were both involved in Divinefire, who did five studio albums between 2005-2011 and reached a huge popularity especially in Japan & South America.
The Waymaker line-up was completed when the talented and soulful Katja Stefanovic joined the band. Katja is a very talented vocalist and composer and she has done several solo albums in Finnish and English.
The band delivers bombastic Scandinavian melodic metal with virtuous guitar playing and powerful male & female vocals from all members, as Christian, Katja & Jani share lead vocal duties in The Waymaker.
All members have a long musical background and experiences from touring and recording worldwide, but one common goal have been to take the listener on a musical journey, where the music and the message is The Waymaker in this time.
We live in a chaotic world where it is hard to find peace and your place. The Waymaker wants to deliver music with a heavenly hope and guidance to as many as possible. If you listen to the music you hear influences from Yngwie Malmsteen’s Rising Force, Stratovarius, Masterplan & Kamelot.
It is always hard to break new ground but The Waymaker delivers Scandinavian melodic metal with a new twist! It is very powerful but still a dynamic production handled by Jani Stefanovic and Multi Grammy, Gold & Platinum Award winning Thomas Plec Johansson (Gathering of Kings, Soilwork, Nocturnal Rites, Divinefire and many more.)
On the debut album The Waymaker have recorded their version of Stryper’s classic metal song “Soldiers under command” from 1985 where you hear guitarwork from Jani Stefanovic and Narnia’s axeman CJ Grimmark. On the drums we find Alfred Fridhagen, a powerhouse metal drummer who has played in ReinXeed and Golden Resurrection.
The Waymaker debutalbum is a killer with no filler!
The band is very excited to meet the media and fans and of course to perform live worldwide. The Waymaker is here to stay and show the way of new exciting Scandinavian melodic metal for the people.
The album is planned for release in August 2020 through:
Sound Pollution in Europe, North America & Australia
King Records in Asia
Voice Music in Brazil
Icarus Music in Argentina
THE WAYMAKER:
Jani Stefanovic – Guitars, bass, keyboards & vocals
Katja Stefanovic – Lead & backing vocals
Christian Liljegren – Lead & backing vocals

While I don't really care for this brand of metal, this sounds amazing and I will probably get this when it is released.

Making no apologies, I basically love everything these two do. Divinefire was amazing. These two back in any form is a welcome return. I will expect to get this.

That sounded pretty good so far. Reminds me of Serenity at times, maybe also because of the inclusion of the female vocals. I'll be checking this out for sure.

This is quite good. Fans of Christian's past work won't be disappointed.

Perfect. No surprises in this track but exactly what I hoped for just the same. The sampler video did little for me and I wondered if somehow it would be softer. Hearing a full track very much in the Divinefire mold is welcome. Excited to hear the diversity of the whole album but 100% a preorder for me.

My thoughts exactly! I just wonder why they didn't make it a Divinefire album?
