AIR RAID Biography
AIR RAID is a Heavy Metal act from Gothenburg, Sweden. They were originally formed in 2009 by guitarists Andreas Johansson & Johan Karlsson.
After releasing the EP "Danger Ahead" & the Full-length album "Night Of The Axe" with former singer Michalis Rinakakis, AIR RAID appeared at the Keep It True-Festival in Germany, early 2013. This was followed by two smaller tours and festival gigs around Europe.
In the middle of all success, the personal differences between the band and Michalis had gotten too severe. As a result, AIR RAID decided to part ways with him.
Shortly after bringing in new vocalist Arthur W Andersson in July 2013, the band went on a 5-gig Southern European Tour, and also performed two very successful gigs on Japanese Assault Fest in Tokyo, Japan!
In late 2014 the album "Point Of Impact" was released, followed by a 10-gig tour in Europe and 2 festival appearances on Rock Hard Festival and Ruhrpott Metal Meeting.
The band was getting more and more gigs, and this unfortunately didn't fit Arthurs busy personal life with family and kids.
So once again, the hunt began for a new singer. After some months, fellow Gothenburger Fredrik Werner was hired.
The latest album “Across The Line” was released on 29th September 2017, and was promoted with a big tour through Europe and for the second time, Japanese Assault Fest in Tokyo!
In early 2018, Air Raid decided to part ways with long time member David Hermansson (Drums). He was replaced by Vidar Mårtensson.
