Metal Sludge — Wow, what a huge announcement…
Skid Row have officially announced they have a new singer in Erik Grönwall former H.E.A.T frontman.
Grönwall, 34, is Swedish and has been turning heads for more than a decade with his soaring vocal abilities.
“It’s a new era for SKID ROW. With a new album, a new single and a world tour, we’ve added a new voice. Welcome powerhouse vocalist Erik Grönwall, formerly from the band H.E.A.T. from Sweden.” said Skid Row in a statement.
Grönwall followed up with his own announcement: “Ladies and gents. I hereby declare the circle of all fucking circles complete. You’re looking at the new singer of @officialskidrow #skidrow #erikgronwall”.

Wikipedia writes: In 2009, he won the Swedish Idol reality television. During several of the shows, he received standing ovations from the jury for his performances. His first single, “Higher“, sold gold on digital downloads after only three days. His debut album, self-titled Erik Grönwall, was released just ten days after the finals and debuted at number one on the Swedish albums chart and was certified platinum.
