The Roaring Lion has long since lost his mane but he shows that his strength is not in his mane but in his heart. Narnia invited the audience at Gullbranna to a really good show and proved that they still are one of the leading neo-classical metal bands in the world - Long Live the King!



Narnia is a Swedish neo-classical metal band that was founded by Christian Liljegren and Carl-Johan Grimmark in 1996. Christian left the band in 2008 and the band continued with Germán Pascual as lead singer until 2010 when the group disbanded. In late 2013 Christian and Carl-Johan decided to reform the group and go on tour to celebrate that it is 15 years since the release of their metal anthem Long Live the King. Narnia consist of Christian Liljegren - lead vocals, Carl-Johan Grimmark - guitars, vocals and bagpipe, Martin Härenstam - keyboard, Andreas Johansson, drums, Andreas Olsson - bass.
