The Protectors

About Me

Formed in Sweden in 2005 / 2006 by former PROTECTOR vocalist Martin Missy. The idea came up at an Nifelheim aftershow party in Stockholm in the autum of 2005 when Jonas Svensson ("Eddie's Apostel" here on Myspace) and Martin discussed about Oldschool Metal in general and the old german Thrashband Protector in particular. Jonas went back to his hometown Uddevalla and recruited Matte Johansson (Bass, vocals in SUICIDAL WINDS), Micke Carlsson (Guitar, also in MASTEMA) and Calle Karlsson (Drums, also in -among others- GRIEF OF EMERALD and MASTEMA) for the coverband "MARTIN MISSY & THE PROTECTROS". Since then the band has been practicing and played some gigs in Sweden, Norway, Finland, the Czech Republic and Germany:
18/08/2006, Trollhättan/SWE (with Suicidal Winds)
