Album info (from old website):
There were many singers who wanted to audition but most of them lived far away from Sweden so Treasure Land started to look for a singer more closely, like in Sweden for instance. One night when the two brothers discussed this they came to think of a singer they liked very much, his name was Jacob Samuelsson. Jacob used to sing in a band called "Totem", this band was formed by ex King Diamond guitarist Pete Black (Jonas once auditioned for this band and got the place, but that's another story) Anyway, Jonas and Magnus thought they at least should give it a try to call Jacob and ask him if he wanted to test his vocal abilities in Treasure Land. Jonas phoned him and he was willing to try, 4 songs were recorded, 3 new ones and one old (Demons). Jacob passed the test perfectly, so cassette tapes were sent back and forth. Now they only needed a studio, several calls were made and finally there was a studio in a town called Jönköping. The band entered the studio the 1st of January 98 and by the 26th of Jan it was recorded and mixed. The CD is entitled "Gateway".
