Following the release of “The Killer Angels”, Civil War will embark on a streak of festival shows in the band's native Sweden.
In early 2012 the four members Daniel Myhr, Daniel Mullback, Oskar Montelius and Rikard Sundén decided to leave the band Sabaton. But the will to play music never left them, so they decided to start a new band.
It didn't take long before they had completed the line-up with a bassplayer and vocalist. Stefan "Pizza" Eriksson (Volturyon), a longtime friend of the guys since the Sabaton-era and Nils Patrik Johansson (Astral Doors, Lion's Share etc), one of the most respected singers in the genre joined the forces and the band was founded.
Line-up:
Nils Patrik Johansson - Vocals
Rikard Sunden - Guitars
Oskar Montelius - Guitars
Daniel Myhr - Keyboard
Daniel Mullback - Drums
Stefan "Pizza" Eriksson - Bass
