Hey there, rock enthusiasts and die-hard fans of NERVED! We have some incredibly exciting news to share with you. After nearly two decades, our highly acclaimed debut album, “Off Line,” has made its triumphant return to all major streaming platforms. We couldn’t be more thrilled to bring this timeless gem back to your playlists and introduce it to a new generation of rock aficionados. We had a blog post just a few months back about this album, since it was made with a complete different lineup of NERVED.

NERVED 2004. Emil Gammeltoft, Marcus Hanser, Magnus Stenvinkel and Björn Lundberg.

Let’s take a moment to reflect on the magic that is “Off Line.” Released back in 2004, this album was our first foray into the world of music, a wild and electrifying journey that marked the beginning of our musical careers. “Off Line” showcases the raw talent, relentless energy, and unapologetic rock spirit that has come to define NERVED’s sound.

What makes this album even more special are the collaborations we had the honor of featuring. The album boasts appearances by two extraordinary musicians who added their unique flair to our music. The first is Kalle Moraeus, a Swedish violinist, composer, and entertainer of great renown. Kalle’s musical prowess elevated our tracks, infusing them with a layer of depth and richness that we could have only dreamed of.

The first album

But that’s not all! We are incredibly honored to announce that the late Manny Charlton, the legendary guitarist for Nazareth, made a special appearance on our version of “Expect No Mercy.” This iconic song, originally created during Manny’s time with Nazareth, holds a special place in rock history, and having him contribute to our rendition is a dream come true. Manny’s talent and influence shine through, adding a touch of authenticity and paying homage to the roots of this incredible track.

Speaking of covers. On Off Line we also did our own version of The Cardigans “Paralyzed” – a version that we still are very proud of and also started our “tradition” if doing our version of of popular pop song. Followed up with “Glorious” on Finally Nerved (2008) and of course “Electric” that recently passed 900k streams on Spotify!

Upon its release, “Off Line” received an overwhelming response from critics and fans alike. Mattias Kling, the esteemed music journalist from Aftonbladet, showered the album with praise, highlighting its infectious hooks, powerful riffs, and memorable choruses. Jerry recognized our ability to seamlessly blend different rock influences, creating a cohesive and captivating sonic experience that resonated deeply with audiences.

Janne Stark, a revered figure in the rock music scene and a contributor to Sweden Rock Magazine, echoed Jerry’s sentiments. Janne commended “Off Line” for its impressive songwriting, exceptional musicianship, and authentic rock energy. His words affirmed our passion for creating music that speaks to the hearts and souls of rock enthusiasts.

But what truly sets “Off Line” apart is its timeless appeal. Even after all these years, the album continues to strike a chord with fans from all walks of life. Its ability to captivate listeners with its hard-hitting soundscapes, engaging lyrics, and undying rock spirit is a testament to the enduring power of our music.
