FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Wolfgang Van Halen Drops by Ola Englund’s Studio — Jams Meshuggah, Talks New Album + Englund Unleashes New Single “The Guillotine” & Solar Guitars Debuts First Headless Models

Stockholm, Sweden — Swedish metal powerhouse Ola Englund (The Haunted, Feared) welcomed a very special guest into his studio recently: none other than Wolfgang Van Halen . Stopping by to hang out, chat about his upcoming album, and fire up a jam session, the two can be seen tearing into some Meshuggah riffs in a newly released video that’s already sending shockwaves through the guitar world.

But that’s not all Englund has cooking. He’s just dropped his brand-new single “The Guillotine” — out now on all major streaming platforms. Written and performed by Englund, the track hits with his trademark mix of razor-sharp riffing and bone-crushing groove , mixed by Ermin Hamidovic and paired with a visually striking video directed by Jason McNamara . Exclusive digital downloads are available only at olaenglundshop.com .

In tandem with the single, Englund’s acclaimed guitar company Solar Guitars has officially launched its first-ever traveler/headless models :

H2.6C (6-string)

H2.7C (7-string)

Compact, lightweight, and designed for life on the move, the headless lineup delivers Solar’s signature aggression and playability in a streamlined, road-ready package.

Englund says:

“I’ve always wanted to have a travel-friendly guitar — something I can easily bring with me when I’m on tour or moving between the studio and home. The H2.6C and H2.7C are exactly that, and I’m proud we’re finally releasing them.”

The new single and guitars have already caught the attention of the metal press, with features in Guitar World , BraveWords , and Gear Gods :

Compact, lightweight, and built for life on the move, these guitars maintain Solar’s aggressive tone and playability while offering a streamlined, travel-ready design.

Englund comments:

“I’ve always wanted to have a travel-friendly guitar — something I can easily bring with me when I’m on tour or moving between the studio and home. The H2.6C and H2.7C are exactly that, and I’m proud we’re finally releasing them.”
