Rikard Sjoblom will release The Unbendable Sleep in February - reveals clip from closing track

Beardfish vocalist Rikard Sjoblom has announced that he’ll release a solo album early next year.

The Unbendable Sleep is scheduled for launch in February – and he’s issued a snippet of the record’s closing track Love And War Part Two: Lucky Star. Hear it below.

Sjoblom says: “Some of you might say, ‘What are you doing? Get in the studio with Beardfish.” Well, we will, sometime in the spring. I do however suspect that most of you would dig this album.”
