FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

OLA ENGLUND Lands on the Cover of Sweden Rock Magazine Alongside Accept

Acclaimed guitarist, songwriter, and Solar Guitars founder Ola Englund has reached another major milestone in his career, appearing on the cover of Sweden Rock Magazine alongside legendary German metal institution Accept as the band celebrates its 50th anniversary.

The special feature brings together Accept guitarist Wolf Hoffmann with Swedish guitar heavyweights John Norum , Fredrik “Kulle” Åkesson , and Ola Englund for an extensive celebration of guitar, metal, musicianship, and the lasting influence of Accept.

For Englund, the feature represents another significant moment in a career that has seen him establish himself as one of modern metal's most recognizable guitarists through his work with The Haunted and Feared , his own solo music, and the worldwide success of Solar Guitars .

The Sweden Rock Magazine feature finds Englund discussing his approach to guitar, tone, creativity, influences, and the continuing evolution of metal guitar. Among the topics discussed is his longtime love of Flying V guitars , as well as the balance between technical ability and musical expression when creating guitar parts and solos.

The feature also captures a special moment in Swedish metal history, as Englund joined Hoffmann, Norum, and Åkesson around Accept's 50th anniversary celebration at Cirkus in Stockholm , bringing together generations of guitar players united by their love of heavy music.

While appearing alongside one of metal's most influential bands is certainly a milestone worth celebrating, Englund is far from looking backward.

He is currently building toward the release of his highly anticipated new solo album, The Neverending Story , arriving October 14, 2026 .

The album campaign has already delivered multiple singles, including “The Ember Saga,” “The Guillotine,” and the recently released “Dogma Progma,” with the latter showcasing Englund's continued focus on crushing riffs, soaring melodies, cinematic atmosphere, and his unmistakable guitar voice.

The official music video for “Dogma Progma” is available now:

The album tracklist includes:

With his latest Sweden Rock Magazine cover appearance adding another major achievement to an already impressive career, and a new solo album on the horizon, Ola Englund continues to prove that his place in the modern metal guitar world extends far beyond his work onstage.

From The Haunted and Feared to Solar Guitars , his massively successful YouTube channel, and now his increasingly ambitious solo work, Englund has built a career centered around one thing: the guitar.

And the story is far from finished.
