Biography
CAPRICORN, previously known as HARDWARE, provided the kick start for two of Sweden's most noted musicians. Vocalist Mats Levén later found success with SWEDISH EROTICA (after joining musicians from the same band in a covers act DOUBLE TROUBLE), TREAT, ABSTRAKT ALGEBRA and, by 1997, found himself fronting YNGWIE MALMSTEEN's band for his 'Facing The Animal' album. Drummer Jamie Borger also joined TREAT and subsequently became a member of TALISMAN and HUMAN CLAY alongside JEFF SCOTT SOTO and Marcel Jacob. The 7" vinyl single, 'Sheyla', was only pressed up in 500 copies and has become something of a collector's item.
In early 2006 it was learned that Mats Levén was working up a band project with an esteemed roster of players dubbed FATAL FORCE. This unit comprised Danish guitarist TORBEN ENEVOLDSEN and the XSAVIOR, MIND'S EYE, SPEEDY GONZALES, FARO and PHILIP BARDOWELL credited drummer Daniel Flores. A self-titled, Tommy Hansen produced debut album emerged in April via MTM Music.
Mats Levén joined CANDLEMASS onstage for their 20th anniversary concert at Stockholm's Kolingsborg on March 31st 2007, performing the song 'Black Dwarf'.
