The Guild

Oh My Guild! Released on the 22th of November!

About Me

The Guild is what happens when I perform my songs together with some of my dearest friends. Usually we belong in bands like THE ARK (me), DUNGEN (Fredrik and Reine) and EMPIRE DOGS (Sunkan) We try to salute our all-time heroes and express our inner thoughts at the same time. I hope youll enjoy it./Sylvester Schlegel
