Praise for Duality:
8 out of 10 – musikpulsen.se
Singer, musician and composer Johan Steensland, who hails from Uppsala, has created his second progressive rock opera “Duality”, which will be released on September 23rd.
For me, who was not previously familiar with Johan Steensland and his music, this is a very positive introduction. It is composition, music and production of a very high class. I am truly impressed!

Story
Eddie
Aspiring fiction-writer Eddie Areola was isolated in his father’s cabin deep into the woods. It was here, in the vast rural area called Upper Kemp, that he could be truly creative. At only twenty-nine, Eddie was known to his few friends as “Mr. Serious”.
