THE BEAST

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

OLA ENGLUND Lands on the Cover of Sweden Rock Magazine Alongside Rock and Metal Legends

Acclaimed guitarist, songwriter, and Solar Guitars founder Ola Englund has reached another major milestone in his career, appearing on the cover of Sweden Rock Magazine alongside legendary musicians from Accept, Europe, The Haunted, and Opeth.

The special feature appears as Accept celebrates 50 years , bringing together four accomplished guitarists from some of the most influential names in European hard rock and metal: Wolf Hoffmann of Accept, John Norum of Europe, Fredrik “Kulle” Åkesson of Opeth, and Ola Englund of The Haunted .

The result is a special gathering of guitar players from different generations and musical backgrounds, discussing their instruments, influences, gear, playing styles, creativity, and the continuing evolution of heavy music.

For Englund, the feature represents another significant achievement in a career that has seen him establish himself as one of modern metal's most recognizable guitarists through his work with The Haunted and Feared , his solo music, and the worldwide success of Solar Guitars .

Within the Sweden Rock Magazine feature, Englund discusses his approach to guitar, tone, creativity, and the challenges of developing a distinctive voice as a modern guitarist. He also talks about his love of Flying V guitars and the importance of keeping guitar playing musical and expressive rather than focusing solely on technical ability.

The feature also captures the special atmosphere surrounding Accept's 50th anniversary celebration at Cirkus in Stockholm , where these guitarists came together to celebrate one of metal's foundational bands.

While appearing alongside one of metal's most influential bands is certainly a milestone worth celebrating, Englund is far from looking backward.

He is currently building toward the release of his highly anticipated new solo album, The Neverending Story , arriving October 14, 2026 .

The album campaign has already delivered multiple singles, including “The Ember Saga,” “The Guillotine,” and the recently released “Dogma Progma,” with the latter showcasing Englund's continued focus on crushing riffs, soaring melodies, cinematic atmosphere, and his unmistakable guitar voice.

The official music video for “Dogma Progma” is available now:

With his latest Sweden Rock Magazine cover appearance adding another major achievement to an already impressive career, and a new solo album on the horizon, Ola Englund continues to prove that his place in the modern metal guitar world extends far beyond his work onstage.

From The Haunted and Feared to Solar Guitars , his massively successful YouTube channel, and now his increasingly ambitious solo work, Englund has built a career centered around one thing: the guitar.

And the story is far from finished.
