Here's a video I made for the tenth track of the only album of this amazing Swedish progressive metal band. Such a pity Scudiero isn't known worldwide. Check out this whole album (Walking Through Mirrors), quite an experience!
I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING, all copyright belongs to Scudiero.
Stockholm's Scudiero is rooted in the early nineties act Areena, this outfit featuring vocalist/guitarist Jori Helminen, vocalist/keyboard player Hans Grahn, bassist/keyboard player Mats Rova and drummer Michael Dahlqvist. Although Areena crafted demos, the band never approached any labels and eventually folded. Grahn joined Rat Trap whilst Helminen and Dahlqvist persevered under the new banner of Scudiero. (In 1998 Helminen and Grahn re-united once again for the AOR project Project Vanguard. Renamed Bonaire, this venture subsequently evolving through various members, including Scudiero's Johan Fahlberg and Michael Dahlqvist, into a Jori Helminen solo concern.)
Fresh demos and a new Scudiero line-up (Jori Helminen: bass, Michael Dahlqvist: drums, Mikael Rosengren: keyboards, Fredrik Folkare: guitars (Unleashed, Eclipse, Incardine), Hans B. Andersson: vocals) secured a label contract with the British based Z Records. The album Walking Through Mirrors was released all across Europe in 1999 (Z Records) and in Japan in 2000 (Marquee). In 2001 Johan Fahlberg replaced Hans B. Andersson.
(Keyboard player Mikael Rosengren was previously a member of fellow Stockholm AOR act Token and has session credits with Damned Nation. When Token was re-activated Rosengren rejoined with former Scudiero vocalist Hans B. Andersson becoming the band's new frontman for their 2002 'Tomorrowland' album. Johan Fahlberg joined German band Jaded Heart in December 2004. Early 2005 saw the unveiling of Mindsplit, a Progressive Metal alliance between Hans B. Anderson, guitarist Mathias Holm and bassist Conny Payne (a.k.a. Conny Sundqvist) of Alien and Madison repute.
Johan Fahlberg donated guest vocals to the track 'When Love Is On The Line' on the Deacon Street 'II' album of 2006. That same year ex-Scudiero guitarist Daniel Palmqvist, having since joined Orange Crush, issued a solo album 'A Landscape Made From Dreams'.

@nemimy520 Thanks for comment!
I don't deny it. The line-up on this album is written in this video's description, and it DOES say that drums are played by Michael Dahlqvist. Where Johan Kullberg is mentioned is the later line-up, I guess.

The drums are played by Michael Dahlqvist on this album, and NOT by Johan Kullberg.
