The Black Explosion - Atomic Zod War (2016)

In late 2003 Chris Winter took a flight from Sweden to Los Angeles, USA with his former band Dollhouse. The mission was to record the band's successful debut album 'The Rock & Soul Circus' together with one of their idols, legendary Mike Davis from The MC5.

The album was recorded in two weeks while living together with Mike and his Family. Angela Davis, Mike's wife and manager, also took Dollhouse under her wings and managed the band for a while. The album came out in September 2004 and the guys did celebrate the release going on tour as a support for The MC5 in Europe.

Nicke Andersson (The Hellacopters/ISE) was hired as a 2nd guitarist for the MC5 during this tour and offered himself to produce the band's upcoming and second album. In November 2006 the 2nd album 'Royal Rendezvous' got released by French label Bad Reputation. The album was recorded in Acetone studio together with Nicke Andersson as a producer. The album got even more and better reviews and feedback in media than their debut. By now the album has gained legendary status in the garage rock scene around the world.

The band's 3rd and last album 'Rock N Roll Revival' came out in Feb/March 2009; it was produced by Chris Winter himself and charted top 50 albums of 2009 in Classic Rock magazine. Dollhouse did over 200 gigs after the release including a show at the legendary German TV program Rockpalast in October 2010, which also ended up as Dollhouse last gig ever.
Back from the tour the band entered the studio to record the fourth album, the session went to hell and the band that already suffered of illness did run totally out of gas and decided to split up.

Chris Winter then took his rock and roll visions to create a spaced out, rock, fuzz and psyched out band called The Black Explosion. The musical style is rooted in rock & roll although it draws big influences from space-rock, soul, blues, noise and psych. After the great debut album 'Servitors Of The Outer' and the 2nd 'Output Elements of Doom' here comes album number 3 'Atomic Zod War.'
