Nach Angaben der schwedischen Zeitung Dalarnas Tidningar, haben die ehemaliger SABATON Mitglieder Rikard Sundén (Gitarre), Daniel Mullback (Schlagzeug), Daniel Myhr (Keyboards) und Oskar Montelius (Gitarre) die neue Band CIVIL WAR mit Sänger Patrik Johansson (ASTRAL DOORS, LION'S SHARE) und Bassist Stefan "Pizza" Eriksson (VOLTURYON) gegründet. Die Band schreibt gerade Songs für ihr Debüt Album.
"It came pretty naturally," Mullback stated about CIVIL WAR's formation. "We always thought Patrik had a good voice and he accepted our offer when we asked him to join the band."
"I had no hesitation about getting involved," Patrik said. "ASTRAL DOORS certainly has a solid fan base, but we are a little more underground. I see this as an opportunity to reach a wider audience.""This has been a reawakening of sorts," Mÿhr said. "I have never been in a situation where there has been so much creativity. We became a full band a week and a half ago and we already have 6-7 songs in the works."
