DONNERBLITZ (SWE)

Heavy Metal band from Östersund, Sweden. They were active between 1980-1986. Formed in 1980 by Tomas Karlsson. After seeing Donnerblitz perform the song "Crazy World" live on August 7th, 1982, Christer Åsell and Mats Karlsson were inspired to write the song "Sauron", which would later appear on the first 220 Volt single (with artwork done by Tomas Karlsson). Christer Åsell would later join Donnerblitz as the lead singer, in April of 1983. He would appear on 2 demo tapes (1984 and 1985).
