Silver Mountain Shakin' Brains

For sheer uncompromising musicianship and their historical impact, few bands have reached such a significant and impressive reputation as one of Sweden’s most prominent heavy metal band Silver Mountain. Their veritable musical dexterity and adventurous, ground-breaking songwriting have long earned them praise from rock fans all over the world. Silver Mountain quickly became the foremost pioneers of the explosive Swedish metal scene that was rapidly spreading around the globe in the early 1980s.Silver Mountain’s Shakin’ Brains was originally released in March of 1983. Produced by the band themselves, it became a blueprint for the new “Classic Swedish Sound of the early to mid-80s”, a style of heavy metal copied by many, but never surpassed. Being a huge fan of 1970s European hard rock, Jonas always felt that those bands had a distinct but somewhat limiting approach. “I liked being different and not sounding as anyone else,” Jonas recalls. He first replaced the second guitarist with keyboard wizard Jens Johannsen. “Many bands started to have that dual guitars approach. I really wanted more dynamics and Jens, being the brother of Anders (who had been in the band for a year by then) was an easy choice to add that depth I was looking for.” Jonas’ influence by Ritchie Blackmore was certainly unmistaken on Shakin’ Brains, but he craved to create his own divergent sound and managed this dazzlingly.Out of print for nearly 15 years, SILVER MOUNTAIN's now legendary debut Shakin' Brains will at long last see a worldwide reissue on all formats.
