The story of Carnival Sun began in mid 2004, when Hall asked Jesper to let go of all their current band projects, make a fresh start. Carnival Sun is all about hard, loud, balls-out heavy metal rock and roll. Hall and Jesper had been playing in various constellations together for years and years, but lately the situation had stagnated. A few jams later however, they were both convinced. It just so happened that the voice of Carnival Sun was waiting sort of just around the corner. Hall met Niklas at Sweden Rock Festival ‘04, where Hall recognized him as “the other guy with long hair” from university. Foolishly enough, they never exchanged phone numbers, and it wasn’t until March 2005 they ran into each other the next time. Wise from experience, they quickly swapped numbers. An audition was set up, where the three-piece ripped through a few rock classics – and so, Niklas was the vocalist of Carnival Sun. In early 2006, Carnival Sun decided to step into the studio to record some material, despite not having found a permanent bass player. The recording took place in May, and the bass was recorded by Hall. The result was entitled “Beggars & Boozehounds”, and featured the songs “Sentenced to Hell”, “Wicked Ways”, and “Soul for Sale”. In april 2007 bass player Tobbe Skogh (also in The Itch) declared his interest in playing bass with Carnival Sun. After just two rehearsals and one gig Tobbe had already taken the band to a whole new level. The time had come for Carnival Sun to show the world what Rock n' roll is all about! After three years in the band Tobbe decided to leave to pursue other projects. This was a joined decision between the band and Tobbe and didn't have a base in any conflict. At that time Carnival Sun had just finished the recordings of the album "Sun of a Bitch". Niclas "Ankan" Lundgren became the new bass player of the band. After much ado and trouble with different labels and printers Carnival Sun finally managed to release their album by themselves, with a little help from Kompakt Disk, in November 2011. The album is a vinyl release and comes with CD. For orders contact: info@carnivalsun.net. In November 2012 Niklas decided to leave the band after a period of missing inspiration. No hard feelings were involved and the band will live on, be sure of that!
