It was released under the project name Magnus Karlsson's Free Fall on 6 November 2015 by Frontiers Records.[1]
Like the previous album, it features many guest singers who worked with Magnus on his many projects, including Jørn Lande (one of the singers of the duo Allen/Lande), Jakob Samuel (who worked with Magnus in the band Midnight Sun) and once again Tony Harnell, Rick Altzi and David Readman, the last three also sang on Free Fall's debut album. The other singers featured are some of Magnus's biggest influences and colleagues in the music business such as Tony Martin (ex-Black Sabbath), Joe Lynn Turner (ex-Rainbow, ex-Deep Purple), Harry Hess (Harem Scarem) and Rebecca De La Moite. Magnus also sings three tracks on the album himself (including the bonus track) and Jaime Salazar (who worked with Magnus on bands Last Tribe, Planet Alliance, Midnight Sun and the Allen/Lande project) recorded the drums.[2]
